4th of July Weekend

We went down to Utah and ran in the Freedom Fun Run in Provo. This is all of our group that ran. LEft to right is my cousin Clark, bro in law Caleb, bro in law Jeff, and Zach, then my sister Ang, sister Case, sister Holl, Saylor and Me. I didn't do anything awesome but ran faster this time than last year.

The night of the 4th we stayed at my sister Angie's and just lit fireworks there. We had 3 babies and didn't feel like having them up until like 1 watching fireworks in Provo.
Zach was quite the pyro if you could imagine (unless you already know and then you can only imagine the bombs and concoctions he came up with). This is him building one of his bombs. My nephews loved everything he did and wanted to do it too and kept telling him to make more bombs and blow stuff up. Sorry Ang.

Before the race. We had to get Saylor up at 5:50 to go. She normally sleeps until like 9:00 so she was in her pajamas for the race. Plus Zach pushed her in this normal stroller because our running stroller hasn't come in the mail yet.

All uf us sisters. We all wanted to run together and ended up all running different paces throughout the race but we still had lots of fun.
Zach pretending he is running after the race. Yes I do realize he is pretty dang nerdy.

  1. He is nerdy...but in a good kind of way! LOL. I am proud of you and your fam...I only wish I could run like you! I will tell you that I have been walking everyday, if that counts! haha. Hopefully one day I will be able to do at least a 5k! *I know, thats like baby steps for you!* If only I had the fuller running genes!

  2. Seeing all the running pics made me think "just keep diggin and diggin!" How fun that you were all together. How not fun for me that I was just 20 minutes away and didn't get to see ANY OF YOU! J/K we will see you in a week and a half at the reunions!

  3. That looks like so much fun! Not the actual racing portion but being together before and after and some during.
    I think pushing Saylor in that stroller would be the absolute pits! Way to go Zac!

  6. Zach, Mom says that seeing you playing with fire takes her back to the night that she woke up and the field was in flames. (I remember that!!!) :0)
