Moab 1/2 Marathon

I made it accross the finish line! I ran my first 1/2 marathon in Moab. My mom and I ran together and our finishing time was 1:54. Honestly, I was just glad I finished.

The Spring Brek Trip with no real plans and no real final destination... 1. Stopping in Sataquin for "The World's Best Ice Cream" 2. Making a special stop to take a free tour of Cove Fort. 3. Getting back on the freeway after Cove Fort- is not always easy. 4. A sunny hike in Snow Canyon- we love self timered pictures. 5. Hiking through lava tubes, too bad we didn't have a flashlight. 6. They recoded our keys and we were locked out of out room. 7. Happy to be in Mesquite...before going into Eureka. 8. Sad that we are not good at slots and lost 2$. 9. The only restaurant we ate ate, Texas Roadhouse! We each ate plenty of rolls. 10. We looked at stars on our beautiful floral comforter. 11. Playing in the pool, okay maybe just the hot tub. 12. Visiting Quail Lake on the drive home, who knew there was a Quail Lake?

One Winter Ski Day

One of the many perks of Christmas Break is ski days! My mom and I went up to Alta the day after New Year's for a nice day of skiing. It was a blast, despite the chilly wind. Smile mom! Our last run of the day.

I just can't beleive it...

I won something! I designed a rug that won first place and was featured in a magazine. I was awarded $1000 last week and told that they have already made my rug and sold four of them in California.

Fall Family Fun

Welcoming Fall

Fall has come and so has the cold weather up here in Logan. It is almost as if you have to get dressed twice every day, once in the morning for the cold, and once whenyou get home in the afternoon when the weather is warmer. I took a drive up the canyon and saw the pretty red leaves. What a great time of year! We have been trying to do festive fall things this month and so far have watched a Halloween movie- Disney's "Monster House", made pumpkin cookies, gone to the corn maze, and made chili and cornbread. Yum. On the fall list is still carve pumpkins, got to the pumpkin walk and make carmel apples. Happy Fall!
