ReD RocK RelaY!!

(from Snow to Sun)

Chase & I were asked to run on a relay team. We had never done this before just triathlons, 5 & 10k's. To be honest I didn't even know how the relay worked.... Well, there is 12 people (2 vans of 6 people) that split up 186 miles. We all ran three different legs. It started in Brian Head Ski Resort went through Duck Creek down the mountain to Cedar City over to New Castle & Veyo through Snow Canyon & St. George & ended in Springdale right outside Zion National Park. We started first thing Friday morning, ran the whole day, through the night, next morning & day & ended about 36 hours later. There wasn't a whole lot of sleep but there was lots of laughs. Chase ended up running about 18.5 miles & I ran about a total of 17.5 miles. It was such a fun race... we would definitely do it again.

What has Chloe been up to???

Sleeping.....

Another Sunday w/ golf & daddy aka nap time.

Chase was feeding Chloe & all the sudden her head started bobbing & she was out.

This girl is so stinkin cute, I can't get enough.

Since I've gone back to work I look forward to ever minute I get to cuddle/hold & nap with her

Chloe is seriously always smiling, we just can't get enough of her.

Another Sunday with cousin Cece

Chloe has had such a good, fun & busy summer. She is still growing like a weed. Her 6-9 month clothes fit perfect in the length but a little big around. She still doesn't have any teeth. Her hair is growing lots & you can almost pull it up on top in a pony. She isn't fully crawling but she can roll & scoot anywhere she needs to go. She does get a bit frustrated when she rolls into the couch.... she doesn't understand why it can't move? She'll definitely have blue eyes!! :) She still likes to sleep like a stink bug. She is really enjoying all the baby puffs. Her favorite baby food is DEFINITELY GREEN BEANS... by far. Her Johnny Jump Up is her favorite place when she isn't rolling around. Still loves her stroller rides. Enjoys her new friends Melany & Haele that she gets to spends days with while I am working.

Jordan High Alumni Golf Tournament

August 7, 2010

Both of my parents (and a brother) graduated from Jordan High in Sandy. They started doing a golf tournament about 3 years ago at the River Oaks Golf Course. My mom has always done it with her classmates but this year she invited me, Chase and his brother Jake to be her teammates. We had SO much fun! The weather was so perfect. I am not always way excited about 18 holes (because it seems like forever to me) but today it just flew by. I love doing scrambles, I am a fan that's for sure!! I might now help the team out a hole lot but I love being a part of it... I especially love being with my husband & sharing one of his favorite hobbies!

This was the victory of the day... Chase chipped the ball in from about 35 yards out. WAY TO GO CHASE!!

We took 2nd in the tournament with about 18 teams.

We ended up winning a game of 18 holes at any golf course in the Salt Lake Valley. I never thought I would say this.... but I can't wait to go golfing again. I know the next tournament is on October 8.... CAN'T WAIT!!!

DAD'S BIRTHDAY

AUGUST 7, 2010

After the golf Tournament we had a BBQ at Jeremy's house & then went to the Draper Cemetery. It feels like we were just here for my dads funeral. I can't believe that it has been 11 years. My dad was only 44 years old when he passed away. I guess Heavenly Father just needed him more on the other side. When we visit the grave as a family it's always so fun for us to all share our memories with each other & especially the grandkids.

I love & miss my dad so much! I have my rough days when I still don't understand WHY? Thank goodness for the Plan of Salvation! I am so grateful that Chloe got to meet him before she came to earth!! I can't wait to see him again. I LOVE YOU DAD!!
