Grandma Robinson's 90th Birthday Party




This past weekend we as a family drove up to Burley, Idaho and celebrated Roy's grandma's 90th birthday party! I keep thinking how lucky Roy is to still have a grandma alive and how neat that our kids can get to know her. I only knew my Grandma Richardson and she passed away when I think I was in 6th or 7th grade. My mom's parents and Grandpa Richardson passed away before I was born.
I have to admit when you think of someone who is 90 years old, I assume they have a walker and very fraile, but I was amazed she still had a lot of energy and still very active! I heard she even spanked one of the little kids running around. lol Go Grandma! She is an amazing woman!

Rex E. Lee 5k Run

Well on Saturday, March 14, 2009, I ran my first race since I had Kaitlyn around 3 months ago. It was at Brigham Young University for the cure for Cancer. It was a huge race. I didn't have much expectation for me other than I wanted to run less than 10 minute miles, but was cutting it pretty close from seeing my past practice runs. :) I am pleased to say I was able to run it in 29:39 minutes and I came in 7th place in my age group. I was pretty excited. I am hoping to get back to my faster pace from previous years and keep doing better with each race I do this year! :)

My cousin, Susan, also ran the race and she did amazing! She came in 3rd place overall. She finished in 19.50 minutes. Hopefully I have her running genes in me! :)
