My running obsessed husband did a crazy run last weekend.  The Wasatch Back Ragnar is a relay that runs from Logan to Park City.  There are 12 members to a team, someone is running at all times.  Brandon's van of  6 team members started at 11 a.m. Friday morning, then rested for a couple of hours, and his next run was at about 3 a.m. then again at about 1 on saturday afternoon. Needless to say, he had a blast.  The only pictures I got were a couple from the "team party" the night before.  Cody and Josh had this amazing spray paint stencil tattoo thing all worked up, and before the night was over they had made very good use of it.  We felt a little white-trashy spray painting fake tattoos on our sons, but it was all in good fun. 

 Luckily I was able to get some other pictures from one of Brandon's team mates.  See him way up there running along?

 Brandon loved it and can't wait to do it again, but he said it was harder than the marathon he did last month.  I think he's crazy!

Happy 13th birthday, Abby girl!

If I don't post now about Ab's birthday, I may never get to it.  I cannot believe she is a teenager! (neither can she...)  and her 7th grade year is practically over, on to eighth.  Wow.  This time of year is so busy that we didn't really do anything extremely exciting, she had school and dance that day, but we managed to squeeze in dinner at Noodles & Co.  and had a birthday cake around bedtime.  

With help from my mom, I made her a t-shirt quilt this year with all of the shirts from her "childhood"...she was surprised, and loved it.  

   I'm so thankful for Abby, and the joy that she is. 

 She is a fun girl, and I love that she is so comfortable to just be herself.  I had big plans for a birthday post for her, but this will have to do for now...
