Ragnar Relay Pictures Finally

I know, I know, it's been a month since I ran the Ragnar Relay but I am just now getting to posting the pictures. I hope you enjoy them. This race was awesome and I would love to do it again next year. Let me know if you want to join me!




Thanks Tamara for inviting me to come run with you, I loved it!!

Ragnar or Bust!

Over the weekend my cousin Tamara and I had the awesome opportunity to run the Ragnar Relay Wasatch Back. If you don't know what that means it is a relay race that starts in Logan and ends in Park City, a total of 192 miles. Over the course of 2 days our team of 12 runners competed to win, or at least get a good time! Every runner has 3 legs they run throughout the course. Each team is separated into 2 vans and the racing beings!

This race was the hardest thing I have done to date but also one of the funnest! I made some great friends and had a great time. I personally ran over 18 miles, all with-in a 21hr window with hardly any sleep and little rest in between races.

I have more pictures to show of this amazing adventure but I had to share this one first. These are the lovely ladies of the first van, we were the first 6 runners. Our team was mostly from Pleasant Grove, so our team name was ' The Grove Trotters'.

These girls are all amazing runners! It took a lot to keep up with them but it was well worth it! I just heard that our team placed 56th in over 1050 teams competing. With the help from the boys in our second van we really rocked it out there! More pictures to come! :)

Pretty in Pink

Right before I left work on Friday my mom brought in my adorable niece Ava and I got to paint her nails for the first time. Of course she chose the pretty princess pink!

This picture is one main reason why I need a girl someday. I would love to pass on all my Beauty skills that I've learned.

Fill the Ark 5K 2011

Every year my community puts on the Fill the Ark 5K. The pro cedes go towards giving animals to small towns in 3rd world countries and then they can live off the animals by using them for farming. The race is always in June and I love doing it. This race really kicks off the summer for me!

Here I come!

Just running though the Finish Line. I did my personal best on a 5K, finishing in 27:53, average of an 8:58 mile. Considering all the hills in this run I feel pretty good!
Yay! I can't wait to finish all my races I have planned this year: Ragnar Relay next week and Bryce Canyon 1/2 Marathon in July! :-)

Phillip's 1st Birthday

Phillip celebrated his 1st Birthday this week. It was a great excuse to enjoy the warm weather with a BBQ. We hope to do many more this summer. It was so fun to celebrate Phillip's birthday. Grandma even made a cake, we sang to him and I helped blow out the candle!

My precious puppy was not too happy about the birthday hat but it sure was cute.

Happy Birthday Prince Phillip!

Harry Potter, Disney, and Family

This last month Jake and I joined my mom, uncle Mark, and grandma to Orlando Florida to see Family, go to Harry Potter World, and Disney World. It has been since our Honeymoon 5 years ago that we have been to Florida. It was so fun and a much needed vacation. Enjoy the pictures! and Yes, Harry Potter World is as amazing as everyone says it is!

I have always loved Pirates of the Caribbean


Snow White was my favorite princess growing up, next to Cinderella of course :-)

I love this picture, mom and I had a blast!

At Animal Kingdom we saw some cool animals. I love this one, I hope he isn't letting me know that he wants to eat me.


The baby Elephant was so cute!

My camera is not zoomed, the giraffe came right up to the bus, very cool!

Spring and a Royal Wedding!

Last week Jake, Phillip, and I went for a walk to the park. It was so nice to be outside in the warm spring air, smell freshly cut grass, and see the blossoms on the trees. Of course since then it has hailed, and rained but I guess that's spring in Utah for you. I hope these pictures bring a smile to your face. Happy Spring!

This Friday April 29th is the royal wedding. Check out my 'invitation' at the bottom of my post! Mom and I will be celebrating the wedding in style.

Phillip smelling the flowers, yes, it is so cute!
He loves the Tulips

Blossom on the trees

We brought out the bird feeder when we got home. I think the birds were waiting for it because as soon as we hung it up they were there :)

Check out my Royal Wedding Invitation. Or course it is fake, but my mom and I will be watching the wedding on Friday and I'm really excited. We are having a sleep over and drink herbal tea straight from England. I definitely am proud to be an American but I love to go back to my roots on occasion.
I hope you all have an enjoyable Spring!
