I am back to running. I trained for a couple months with my cute friend Ashley for the Love Your Body 10k. (Thanksgiving Point) I also ran a lot with my awesome sister Megan. (It is way more fun to run with someone.) Training is good but the actual race is best. The energy and adrenalin is always high. Love it!

My biggest fans.

(Thanks Ry for waking up early,feeding,dressing, doing hair, and driving 4 kids for 30 min. and waiting for an hour for me to cross the finish line)

Olivia turns 6

My little Liv turned 6 on the 7th. She was SO excited for her big day.

Liv started out her day with an early breakfast with her dad at a local cafe.

(My cute friend grew up with that fun tradition

and thought we needed that one in our family too.)

She leaped out of bed at 6:45 am with no complaints. We then opened up her gifts from her Aunt and had some friends over in the morning. She also celebrated at school and took a treat to share with her class. Later that night we (just our little family) went to Incredible Pizza which is a fun center where you can eat and play a lot of fun games. We stayed late and came home to cupcakes and a lot of fun phone messages left by cute friends and family. Thank you!

Liv lost another tooth!

She got a few bucks and a lot of attention.

She looks like a cute little jack-o-lantern just in time for Halloween.

Week 31

Owen LOVES bath time.

Ryan LOVES to golf. He goes every chance he gets.

He was invited to a charity event and ended up winning "closest to the pin!"

Yahoo.

The loot:

100 bucks to Olive Garden (great for date night)

20 bucks to Beans and Brews (we'll go buy a muffin or something)

U of U gear and a Michelob visor (useless riff-raff)

A ticket to a sold out U of U game.

Other fun knick knacks

I sometimes cringe at how much it costs to play the game and Ryan teases by saying that he has to practice if he wants to go pro.

{ Jim Furyk won 11.3 millon dollars today playing golf.}

Keep practicing Ry!
