Mrs. Utah

Last Saturday I drove up to Ogden to watch these little ones:

So their mommy/my sister in law could WIN Mrs. Utah!

I had four kids under the age of 4 in a tiny hotel room {I feel bad for whoever has to clean that room after we trashed it}.  We danced, watched indoor skydiving across the street at a family center, ate lots of snacks and played hide and go seek.  

CA Trip

E and I took a quick trip to California over the long weekend last month; it was fun to hang out with my family for a few days.  Evan had to go to San Diego on Saturday for a law school thing, so I was able to spend the day with my sisters.  Since everyone had Monday off of work and school, we went for a hike at Santa Rosa. It definitely brought back old memories of running the trails in high school and hiking for tadpoles in my early girl scout years.  

Sporting Events

So, yes I feel off the bandwagon again!   Evan and I have been busy playing tennis, soccer, and dodgeball. We lost in the finals of our tennis division- the pressure of a free t-shirt must have gotten to us!  We are starting the soccer tournament this week ( I think) so hopefully we can redeem ourselves and win one final t-shirt from BYU before we leave.  Evan and Morgan also played doubles tennis this sememster. It was fun to watch the boys in action and dominate on the court.

Turkey Trot

Thanksgiving morning, Hannah and I ran the Turkey Trot in AF.  Sarah, the sister between us, ditched us Wednesday night to hang out with her boyfriend so just the two of us ran. We finished right at 30 minutes so it wasn't a bad run. Thanks Dad for being a great cheerleader at the finish line.

PS- look at all the snow in the mountains! Ya, it was cold that morning :)

Oh Christmas Tree

Thanksgiving Day, my dad, Evan, Hannah and I went up to Strawberry to cut down our Christmas trees.  The weather wasn't too cold, but there was a good two feet of snow on our hike. We hiked for about 45 minutes or so until we found the perfect tree. (Thanks Dad for being a trooper). A few of our adventures were getting the car stuck in the snow and my dad and Evan had to push us out, falling through the snow up to our waists in some parts, and watching Hannah try to cut down her "baby tree" to take home.  This is our 5th year doing this and it is so much fun.

Running the Y

What better way to celebrate reaching my goal to run 100 miles a month than to run to the top of the Y for mile 100. It was a rough run, and I am sure that I was running slower than a walk, but I did it and felt so good after. I only saw 4 other people on the trail because the weather was a bit cold, but I liked being *almost* alone up there.  

Pinterest

Dear Pinterest,

Why are you so awesome? And at the same time, so bad for my time management?  I just spent HOURS pinning and re-pinning everything.

Sincerely,

An out-of-time Pinner
