Deseret News Marathon (and 5k!)

We had a family reunion with Devin's family in Salt Lake City in July so that we could participate in the Deseret News Classic Marathon (and 5k, though I no longer have photos of myself running the 5k.)

Here is photographic evidence that we participated in these events:

Devin ran the marathon.


 He is now training for a 50k ultramarathon in October.

    You ARE a runner! Devin is smiling. How can he run so many miles and smile?

    I'm with your mom on this one! You are DEFINITELY a runner, and really?? He is smiling? Craziness! I'm pretty sure I want to punch people when I run. So, ya know...watch out for that next month. Haha!

    Also, a 50K?? Who is Devin??

    I LOVE Devin's neck protector. Don't tell him this, but with his big smile and that big yellow thing, he's totally channeling a happy Donald Duck. I don't know why. Because Donald Duck wears a blue sailor hat or something, but it makes me think of Donald. Maybe it looks like a reverse duck bill. Anyway. I love how happy he looks.

    And you are so hot! Way to pass one hundred people. I'm bummed we didn't get to do our 5K together. :( Some day . . . Maybe in a faraway land. Ha. Are there any foreign marathons on Devin's bucket list? I should totally write a bucket list. I don't have one.

    You're totally a runner.

    And I love your cheerful shirt. I want one.

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stair...

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took ...
