A bragging blog.

I did something that I never thought I could on Thanksgiving...no, I didn't eat a whole turkey...but I ran a 10K race!!! It's 6.2 miles for my metric challenged friends.  I did it in 1h 14 min 54 seconds.  That's a perfect 5 miles/hour.  I didn't stop once, I had to slow down to take a picture and to get a drink.  I had to pee for the first 3 miles, but I burned that little water after a while and was just fine. Of course, I place 2300th but there were also 300 people behind me! I'm not a runner really, this was my first race, but I'm thinking not my last.  The kids asked me if I won and I said "Oh yes I won" and I think I did!

Waiting for mom

Becky (looking beautiful) and me (didn't get the memo that make-up and hair was required for a race, I did put deodorant on)

Being past by over 2,000 runners. I didn't even care.

See, people are behind me still

I won!

Happy-achy-tired-38yr old Mom of 5!!! I am proud of me :)))

This is a link to a slide show to photos of my home city.  It made me very homesick to watch it.  Will I ever get to live there again?  How I wish I could go back in time! Sighhhhhhhhh

I love to see the Temple

"I love the see the Temple
I'm going there someday
To feel the holy Spirit
And listen and to pray
For the Temple is a house of God
A place of love and beauty
I'll prepare myself while I am young
This is my sacred duty"
Primary Song

There are Temples all over the world. There are two in Arizona right now, but two more are bein build. One of them, the Gilbert Temple, will be 10 minutes from our home. Reed and I were sealed for eternity in the Mesa, AZ temple.

Morgan and Matt's wedding

This is my first niece to get married (my kids have 34 cousins!).  She was 4 months old at my wedding.  I could now be a great-aunt any day. 

But how could I feel old when I have this little one!  Although he is trying to catch the bouquet, so I should worry he'll leav me soon!

What will they think of next?

We have been TP'd and even egged ...and now, this is what we found last night...
Albertson must have a new way of doing advertisement!  We have no idea who that came from, but I laughed so hard, that was sooo good!!!  I love Teenagers!!!!  Thanks for the great new stroller ;)

Gardner Village

Did you know that it is fall in Utah! Notice the scarf I'm sporting, I was so excited to wear a fallish outfit!!! And the color of the scarf matches most of the witches, that says a lot!!!!

Lots of "sprogs" (Tommy still cannot say "Fs")

My three boys share the same girlfriend. She is a hottie, you gotta admit, they have good tastes!

America's favorite pass time: witch ball.

Ogden

First day in Utah, we went to Ogden and played on the trains.

Then we went to my friend Jill for dinner and smores.

And we finished the evening at Grandma and Grandpa Corry for an ice cream, yum!

They have a full ice cream parlor in their basement.  Elly didn't want to leave, although this pic above doesn't show her having fun!!! This is the family I stayed with in 1990 after high school. I came to perfect my English. I did that, but although learned about the LDS church through them.  I have such a special bond with them.  They've always been such a great example to me and I owe them a lot!

St George, Temple, Utah.

Premier temple fini en Utah.  Il est repeint tous les 10 ans et lave tous les ans. 
All Latter Day Prophets have spoken in the tabernacle near the temple, except one (Joseph Smith was martyred in 1844 in Illinois). Love love love this temple, beautiful!

Fall Break, trip to Utah

First things first. On our way to Utah to see Reed's brother, we stopped by Las Vegas.

An experience for the kids (always good to expose your children to homeless people, booze and pictures of naked women!!!!).  It was amazing to me how much more aware I was about the crap littering Vegas with the kids around. I usually block it out and don't care, but with them, it was not as possible.  We just stayed a few hours and left.
