I did it!

Saturday I had the opportunity to run with my girls. Our school had a 2 mile run to encourage the kids to exercise. I wanted to run with them, so we decided we would find a good slow pace that we all liked, and try to run the whole thing. I knew it would be hard for them. We started out slow and picked it up just a little. They did so good. We didn't stop til we had ran both of the 2 miles. I am so proud of them.

Our Stake is doing a Turkey Trot on Saturday at 8:00am. Now they think they want to try a 5k!!

I am very proud of all of you! We had a fun run at school and we all started running and Hanna was slowing us down so we ended up having to carry her!

I thought about participating in that but I'm such a poor runner - besides I would have been horribly embarrassed that a bunch of kids would outrun me!
I haven't heard anything about this Turkey Trot - Maybe our ward didn't get the memo?

Go girls, go!

Jill, this has nothing to do with running, but I'm hoping you can help a girl out - Do you have Tyson & Lauren's mailing address? If so, could you email it to me at fiddlebaby@hotmail.com?

What a great thing to do as a family. I'm proud of Olivia, Mckinley and their mother. Where is the Father?

Hey Jill, I love your picture at the top of your blog, it is so cute and I can't believe how big your kids are getting, Gracie's face is just adorable. Congrats on the run, what a trooper.. I think I would pass out, what with all the extra belly I have been carrying around lately. ☺ We miss you guys so much and hope that you are all doing well. It is crazy that it has almost been 2 years since I have seen you guys. Hey and I feel the same way about moving back up there.. if we could ever get rid of our stinkin house I think we would be back in a flash! Miss you all!
