Greenville Mile...

This year was super fun at the Greenville Mile.  Both of the little boys ran in it.  I have never had two kids run it in the same year.  They both did so great and I was so proud of them for being involved.  JD came in 8th place in his grade and got 7:04 for his time.  Nick finished in the top part of his grade as well but I'm not sure the exact number as there were quite a few coming.  I think he ran it in about 7:15.  They both were so cute.  It was really fun to see their different personalities shining through.  JD had his game face on and was very competitive about the whole thing.  He had planned out different strategies and got himself all pumped up for the big event.  In fact he was so mad because he got a bad side ache and wasn't able to do his best.  The pictures say it all.


Nick on the other hand was super laid back and relaxed about the whole thing.  When they lined the 5th grade boys up at the starting line, he was smiling and laughing with his friends....no big deal.  When he came across the finish line, he was looking at me, smiling for the camera, just having a grand time.  



They had a lot of fun with their cute friends and it was awesome they could be in it together.  JD stewed about the whole thing for days afterward trying to figure out what went wrong.  He drove me absolutely crazy and was already planning what he was going to do next year.  Watch out!

Meili's 6th Birthday...

Image
Meili's only request this year was to spend her birthday in Bear Lake.  That was not a problem.  Since it was also Raspberry Days that weekend, my family planned to come spend a fun-filled weekend with us.  Russel and I decided to come the night before and bring the three little kids with us.  We thought it would be super fun to go down to the KOA and rent a 6-person bike and ride around town.  It was a little harder than we thought since Russel and I were pretty much the man power.  We kept telling the kids to start pulling their weight and get pedaling!  JD kept complaining a little that his heart was hurting.  Well he's definitely a little athlete so I'm just thinking he's being lazy.  I kept telling him to get his groove on and get moving. Well after about an hour we returned the bike and went for snow cones.  The best snow cones in all of Bear Lake.  Yum!  Anyway, JD kept saying his heart was going so fast and I kept brush...

Girls, Girls, Girls....

So I have a lot of catching up to do in the blogging world. Several things have happened this month so I am devoting however long it may take today to get everything posted. This past weekend Abi invited 4 friends to go to the Nutcracker with her and Meili....of course Russel and I tagged along as well. We went to the matinee showing and beforehand they had a Sugar Plum Fairy Tea Party that was an absolute must. All the girls dressed up in fancy dresses and we had a great time. The tea party was decorated like a little girl's dream. Pink everywhere, sparkles covering everything, gooey pink sweet dessert, and many performers from the show mingling and taking pictures. Abi is truly blessed to have such good friends and this is only just a handful of them. The girls were so cute and had a great time. During intermission, we ran across the street to the famous Bluebird Restaurant to get them chocolates and candy (wonderful suggestion from Courtney). Oh...and it was also quite a...

Beautiful Drive up Logan Canyon...

Image
On Saturday, we decided to take a little drive up the canyon and look at the beautiful fall colors and my oh my were they gorgeous!! We've been up there twice this week and just can't get enough. This time we remembered the camera. :) The kids loved seeing the vibrant leaves. The drive is truly an hour of awesomeness. Plus it's always nice to know there's a very yummy fresh raspberry shake waiting for you....not to mention chocolate covered raspberries. Just a few of our favorite moments in Bear Lake. Here are a few of the "hundreds" of pics that Russel took. He has "trigger finger." I think I narrowed it down pretty good though.....although sometimes it's hard to tell if #95 looks better #3. :)
