Our Week at the Cabin

Last week was the week we look forward to all year! It was our families week at the cabin. We missed Mike's family and Jorine. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can all be together again. Jessica, Mindy, Scott, Hal and I brought our running shoes so we could begin our day with a run around the island. It didn't take long for our abilities to separate us. Scott and Hal ran the fastest, Mindy ran the farthest. Jessica wore blisters on her feet the fist day but didn't let that stop her. There were so many highlights. Following is my top 10 list:
1-Sleeping past 4:15 and still getting to run
2-One on one time with Hal
3-Watching Scott run with Brizzo/Brizzo running with Scott
4-Watching Tyra knee board, Scott and Jordan Wake Board, and Hal finesse his water ski
5-Listening to Mindy and Scott play games with Jessica & Jordan at night
6-Watching Jordan make a sand castle with the kids
7-Telling all of the kids good night
8-Not hearing the phone ring
9-Loved the fudge Jessica brought me home from West Yellowstone
10-Days that were not mine to cook!

Pug Puppy

After we got back from our run, there was the cutest little pug puppy wandering around. He was so little and so cute, for minute....just a minute....I thought about taking him home. They kids loved playing with him. Later that day his owners must have came and got him. We hope they love him!

July 4th Celebration

We started out the day with the Freedom Run. Mindy, Jessica and I ran the 5k. I was sure I would die but survivied--Ya Who! Jessica stuck with me most of the run but we all finished about a minute apart with Mindy leading. We were thrilled that she didn't have any back issues after the race. My brother Barry and his kids ran it also.
It was fun to have Mom and Dad there afterwards. I am going to do it again but want to be better prepared. I need to run outside and get my indurance back now that my leg is feeling better.

Hal's the Bishop Day

Out my kitchen window

Fathers Day

I was a little, okay a lot, preoccupied with the talk I had to give in another ward in our Stake's Sacrament Meeting. I was terrified! A funny thing did happen though...really....I am not making this up...A lady followed me out to the parking lot asking if I had prepared and saved my talk on my computer because she wanted to take my talk home with her. She said SHE MISSED SOMETHING WHILE TAKING NOTES! I was flattered until I found out she may not be the sharpest knief in the drawer. We went to Blackfoot that evening to celebrate with Dad. It was a beautiful evening. Tyra loved the baby kittens she found! Look close to see one of dad's horses. I was going to wash the dishes in there!

Fathers Day 2008

What happened to June?

Since my last post many we have celebrated Fathers Day, the baby birds hatched, Hal is a Bishop, the percentage of vegtables and flowers exceeds the percentage of weeds in our garden, we have been to the cabin, celebrated Jessica and Jordan's Birthdays, the fourth of July and I ran my first 5k without dying!
