Summer is Over!:(

One last trip to Lake Powell and now our summer is complete!! Thanks for coming with us Weights and Jensens we had a blast!:)

Are you eating that flower?

What is eating my flowers??! The kids and I were out watering the flower pots the other night and found a big ole snail/slug whatever you want to call it in our flowers, gross right, well my kids loved it! Daxton kept it for a few days and called it his pet (since we don't have one and he wants one really bad) I threw my flowers away because the slugs were having a feast on my flowers and I couldn't nurse them back. Throwing the flowers out really made me feel like summer is over :(

Top of Utah/here we come!!

I am on what you would call the FINAL COUNTDOWN!!! 3 more days until the logan marathon, Yeah! I will update everyone when it is over and let you know how it goes. Everyone say some prayers for me!! Ha. Ha.

You Belong in 1958

You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!

I just saw this on Marci's Blog And thought it was fun! I didn't realize how dated and innocent I was, it cracked me up!!

Training for My up coming Marathon's, I love to do a few Half's (13.1 miles) for race training! This year I did Bryce Canyon 1/2 Marathon and the Hobblecreek 1/2 Marathon. The hobblecreek I had the chance to Beat my time, finishing in the top 100. Although when I run a half I always wonder how I am going to run a full marathon, I can't believe how mental running is. My Logan Marathon is coming up in 3 weeks and I had a friend who transfered her number for the St. George Marathon into my name so Yes I will be running 2 marathons in 2 weeks!!! I really can't wait.

Thanks for the great weekend Girls I had a blast!!!

Camping

Our yearly trip to Beaver Mountain!! The Styler Family has started a really fun tradition for our family and friends. The Stylers go up to Beaver Mtn for a week and camp and the rest of us come and go as we can, it really depends on everyones schedules but so far we have all been able to go for at least a few days out of the week. This was my first year to go up with our new trailer and I have to say it made a huge difference to have somewhere to sleep and bathe the kids, the kids and I actually stayed for 6 days this year and we also had the opportunity to take my Nephew Russell Nakken with us for the week. (it was his first time camping and he said he loved it!) Brian had to go back and forth to work but it was still nice to have him there. Thank you Stylers for starting this great week long tradition for us!!!

Our entire camp packed a lunch and went on a big 4-wheeler ride we ended at this beautiful meadow to have lunch. The kids played in the water and fished.

We found bear tracks and a half eaten Beaver down by one of the lakes the kids thought that was pretty cool. They were only cub tracks that is Daxton's little hand next to the bear track.
