Thomas!!!

We went up to the Heber Valley Railroad to see Thomas the Train!!! It was so much fun and Ryder absolutely loved it. He has been obsessed about the last year and a half with Thomas and pretty much any kind of train. It was so cute and fun for all of us. They had some really great activities, a store, and best of all a train ride. The conductors and workers were so cute with kids and kept it so much fun. As you can see from the pictures, both kids were absolutely entertained by all of it. The actual train was absolutely amazing and so much fun to see. The weather was perfect and all-in-all, it was a great day!!!

Another one down!!! (half marathon that is)

So, I never in a million years thought I would run a half marathon, and I've ran two in the last 4 months. I ran one in St. george and then the Salt Lake just barely. I have now entered into the lottery for the St. George marathon and am pretty sure I had to be on some major medication at the time I registered. I've actually come to enjoy the challenge running gives me, plus the peace and quiet it gives me from my hectic life at home. So anyway, these are a couple of pictures of me, Ryan's aunt, Ryan, and Maddux at the finish line. I am fully aware of the unattractiveness in these pictures, but waking up ay 4:30 and running 13 miles doesn't exactly make it easy to look good.


And by the way, the highlight of the whole race was waiting in the porto potty line next to Dane and Blaine from this season of the Biggest Loser who also ran the half. I crossed paths with them a couple of times during the race, but actually talked quite a bit with one of their dad's. It was pretty amazing how awesome they looked after losing so much weight. It was very inspiring!!!
