Run w/Elle 5k & Kids Race

Amanda & Kaitlyn waiting to see Jessica, Ammon & Daddy run by. :)


Ammon & Jessica racing to the finish line. Roy is toward the back of the picture...he was the one to keep them plugging along. :)


We ended up seeing Roy's sister (Vicki) and nieces (Aubrey & Whitney) there at the race. We had to get a group picture! They all did a wonderful job!



Kaitlyn snacking on an apple. Everytime I see this picture...I just laugh. Kinda funny. :)



Jessica after the race eating bread.



Roy & Kaitlyn. She is about ready to get ready for her first kids race!



Amanda getting ready for her 2nd kids race.



There's Kaitlyn running! Notice no one is running with her. lol She did a false start. Kaitlyn was pretty excited to get going. The crowd were all chuckling at her. :)



On your mark, get set, go!!!



Amanda running to the finish line! She won her age division! Go Amanda!



The kids were able to get an otterpop and other snacks afterwards.



Amanda showing off her first place medal, ribbon & free ice cream coupon. :)


I think everyone had a wonderful time! This time round it was fun to watch all of them and me not running. They have all been such a huge support for me. I had to turn the favor. It was fun to take pictures of everything. They all did a great job!

Mother's Day!

Me and my girls after church. :)







I had a wonderful Mother's day and I feel a bit spoiled. I was able to get curtains for my front room, a beautiful flower basket, a homemade card from Ammon and a painted picture frame with a picture of Amanda. :)

I have been looking, waiting, and budgeting to find some curtains for our front room for about 7 years. I finally found some and it was definitely not what I thought I would end up buying. Once I brought them home, I was so excited to see it blended so well with the colors in the room (especially our Greg Olson painting up above our fireplace). It is amazing how much curtains make a difference in a room...a lot more cozier. :)

I also was able to hear Amanda and the Primary children sing a song in sacrament meeting at church. It was Amanda's first time to really go up there on the stand and actually sing the song. She did a great job and she was smiling the whole time. :) It definitely brought a smile to my face. What a lucky mom! :)
