Pictures to come

I know every blog doesn't need pictures, but I love pictures! This week we took a trip to Kaysville. On our way up we stopped in Farmington to see my maternal grandparents. My grandparents let someone board their horse on property by their house. The horse had a baby, so we stopped to see the colt. We tried a previous day to see the colt, but we weren't successful. The owner was nice enough to come over this time and bring the horse for us to see. The kids liked it. I got a picture of my kids along side my grandparents! I had a softball game, and Jimmy was at school, so my parents watched my kids. I decided to bike to my game. Price of gas, I wanted the challenge, and exercise. I make the 12 mile bike trip in 65 minutes. It was awesome! Lost the game, but had fun playing catcher. a few bruises on my shins!

Jimmy has been running with a friend, Carl. They are beginning their training. Carl, Jimmy, Darci (my morning running friend) and I decided to run the Farmington Festival Days 5K. It was Saturday morning. My kids slept over at my parents house, so we didn't have to move kids at 6am. The four of us rode in Jimmy's geo metro to the race. We joined my oldest brother Jay, niece Amanda, and Uncle Quinn at the race too. *again, picture coming. I had to beat Jimmy during this race! I was running more miles than him! I didn't even start next to him, we just each ran our own race at our own pace. I ran with Darci. Before mile 1, Jimmy caught up to me, and smacked my rear! startled me! but I shortly passed him, but I looked back and thought he looked GREAT running! YUMMY! I was happy to have him at the race, and trying something I LOVE! On the downhill stretch, Darci's long legs carried her ahead of me, but I caught up to her at mile 2.5, and we finished together. I pushed her and me to finish. The time on my watch was 27:24. I wanted to be between 27 and 30 min. I was happy! I finished and went to finish with Jimmy. He finished in 31 min. Not bad for his first 5K, and considering he is figuring out his asthma. We cooled off, and headed for the breakfast.

I stayed in Farmington for the parade. My mom bought my kids. We enjoyed the parade with lots of family there. It was fun. We visited the horse again, then came home for naps.

Saturday night, the boys went to the SL Bees baseball game. I went swimming with the girls at jimmy's parents house. I got stung by a yellow jacket that night! I was talking on the phone-serves me right!
BUSY weekend, but it was great! Jimmy also had a hockey game Friday night. The kids were at my parents, so I attended his game! It was great to go to the game without kids! It was like a date! NO KIDS! sweet!
