RACE DAY

Randy and I have been getting ready for this race for months!
I ran the 1/2 marathon and Randy ran the 10k!!!
He ROCKS
It was called the MAD marathon (make a differnce)
It was sponsored by the Osmond Hearing Fund, which provides children with hearing aids that wouldn't be able to afford them otherwise!
They had 3 families there that recieved the help, very cool!

OK, on to the race...
 I started at 7am
I always get so nervous, i hate it
There is really nothing logical about getting scared to run, grrr
Apparently this is my nervous face...
So ugly
Randy thought it was funny
 I was really excited when I realized my pace was fast (for me) enough that I would be back before Randy started his race at 9 (9minute mile:-)
Then...
there were no volunteers at our last corner, so we all ran straight instead of turning(full marathon route)
We, half marathoners, ended up running 15 miles in stead of 13.1
I didn't make it back to see Randy leave, but...
I never thought I would run 15 miles and I did!
 My offical time says 2:12
but that is for the 15 miles
My time at 13 miles was 1:56
That's what I am going with:-)

I did see Randy finish...
after I got a massage, ahhhh
He did great, was actually smiling when he ran in!!!
 This was his first 10k ever and his first race this year
So proud of him

 Moses and Kaylee from "The Biggest Loser" were there supporting the race!

All the Extra Things...

First...
Bailey has started playing the flute this year!
She has caught on quickly and loves it
She played in the school's Spring Concert and did a great job!


Then...
 Madden graduated from Preschool!
This year has flown by...
He has learned a lot and made huge improvements
I think he is ready for Kndergarten
not so sure I am :-( 




 This is my new way to keep Grant quiet and still
watching a show on my phone
please dont judge me, I get desperate...
 Then...
Madden had and end of the year tye-dye party and picnic
no pictures of the tye-dye, it was fun and messy
 Then...
We had our last "Lunch Bunch" at our house
It has been really fun for these kids this year
8 kids from our ward go to kindergarten next year!!!
Thanks to Annie for organizing it!
 Friday night Bailey decided to make rainbow cupcakes
they turned out so cute,
it might be a new favorite

It was a great week with lots of big activities!!!

Sisters Weekend

I got to spend 4 great days with my sisters last weekend
We love being together and had so much fun together...
Niki brought Curtis and Kate, and we got to love on them...

 We went to a Zumba class...
 We ate out at some fun places...
This is breakfast at Magelby's Fresh
 We got pedicures and manicures
It felt so good, I had just run 12 miles so it felt great to get my feet pampered...




 Meghan always keeps us laughing...

 We went rollerblading, hehehe...
 We had a very special Mother's Day
I love my Mom SSSOOOO much
She is literally the BEST person I know!
 We got to visit both of our Grandmas, love them too
