Ragnar pix

Thursday night, we stayed with Don & Geniel in Wellsville. We had a 6:15 am start time, so going up the night before Ragnar started was necessary. They were perfect hosts! Thanks! After the team checked in, we got our safety flags, and then headed to the start. This is my cousin Jessica holding the orange flags!


Here is our runner #1-Paul starting Ragnar off for our team. Jimmy & I at the start. It was COLD in Logan that morning! COLD





We are waiting for runner #2 to come in & pass off t0 #3.

Marla about to begin her second run. It was starting to get dark, and I ditched the blue shirt & wore the long sleeve shirt. Good move. Night run-good!

When we were camping over Memorial Day, we drove up the south side of Avon Pass in the Ogden Valley. Avon pass connects Cache County to the Ogden Valley. This is where I will be running for the Wasatch Back Ragnar team I am on. I am runner #6. I will be running down this dirt road. Let's hope it is dry-but not too dry. Let's hope its not this muddy! Runners and vehicles will share this road. Fun huh? I heard it is dirty!

I am SO excited!-really-

We got the tops made & put on our chimney. No more raccoons folks!

Charlie Graduated Preschool

Charlie finished his first year of preschool with Mrs. Eggett. He LOVED going to preschool. He 'owned' something-he had something to talk about at the dinner table. Charlie learned a lot about letters, songs, numbers, counting, science, and made great craft projects. It was always cute to hear about his day at preschool & seeing what items he wanted to bring for Show and Tell. The preschool graduation was a program with ALL of the preschool classes Mrs. Eggett teaches.

One more year of preschool then my boy goes to kindergarten.

Charlie hadn't felt well the day of graduation. I am thankful he made it through graduation without throwing up! An hour or so after we got home from graduation, he threw up. But hey-it wasn't at graduation!

Lets go back to Spring Break part I

We left Saturday morning for California. Jimmy helped us drive down. The weather was nice, and the kids were great. We made great time! Sunday we went to the Orange County Market Place (aka swap meet, or aka orange county first ward....we always go there for 'church' on vacation! LOL) Sunday Jimmy flew home to work for a few days (He joined back up with us Wednesday night)


And Monday we went to Disneyland!

We've never done the Davy Crockett canoe's before. We did it this time & the kids just L-O-V-E-D it!












Peace out for the night.....day 1 done!

Lets go back to Spring Break part 2

One late afternoon, we met up with my brother & his family. They were enjoying California for their Spring Break too. We went to the Huntington Beach! (according to Jimmy the ONLY beach in California-the BEST beach). Luckily we could rent beach toys from the condo-How can you go to the beach without beach toys?!?
Yes-the sun was out but it was WINDY and kinda cold! The kids were brave to get wet, NOT ME. But the kids had fun playing in the sand, searching for shells and playing with their cousins.

I LOVE these two pictures-me & the kids and my bro & his family.


There was a street fair by the Pier, so we went & checked it out. We saw some pirate guy, he talked to the kids, and gave him a shiny rock-jewel thing. It fair would have been nicer if we were not FREEZING! oh well-still an experience & memory!
