Mission: Accomplished

WE DID IT!!!!!

Me, Becky, and Lorrie ran the Provo River 1/2 marathon and we did great if I may say so myself. It was very hard and I can still barely walk.

There were a few things/goals I wanted to do when doing the 1/2 marathon

1- Finish

2- Finish ahead of the sweepers

3- Not be the last one across the line

4- Finish in under 3 hrs

And I accomplished all of them! Yay for me!

My sisters were all faster than me, but I guess the good thing about that is I have more people at the bottom cheering me on.

Us at 5:00 a.m. getting on the buses to the start

Brett was so wonderful to come and watch me finish, It really meant a lot to me- then he took me out for a huge yummy lunch :)

Us after the race





Rodeos, Rodeos, Rodeos- that's what we have been doing a lot this summer. It's been fun to watch Brett rope



I love summer sunsets

Brian chilling in the shade with some flowers. Not our house, hope its ok if he messes up the yard a little

My new addiction is watchin the DIY network (Do it yourself). They make everything look so easy so I thought I would tackle a backsplash (started in the laundry room in case I really messed up). It actually was very easy and turned out great. I am going to do all my bathrooms next, and save the kitchen for last when Im a pro because we want to do a big, awesome one there!

That's it for now!

Family Pictures

Recently at Grandma Luella's funeral we finally had everyone in the family together and thought it would be a great time for family pictures since we have people living all over and we never are in the same place at the same time (between the Fox's and Finlinson's).

I like to "Dabble" a little in photography, but need much more practice since Im still learning. So if anyone wants their pictures done, Im very cheap- lol- like basically free.

I took some pictures and it was really fun to do. I'm not good with kids or getting their attention, so some of the larger pics are the best I could do :)

It was pretty fun because we did the pictures in Luella's backyard and it is so pretty there- Love you Grandma Luella, and miss you lots.

Fox's

Fox/Finlinson group shot - yup there really is that many kids between my mom and Fred

Ok, now I have to figure out what is going on with my blog- I am having technical difficulties!!!!
