The girls and I went to a Charity Ball that my sister, Heather puts on. So we got all dolled up, did our hair fancy and pretended that we were Cinderella. The girls were so hyper and excited! We stayed out until midnight, almost turning into pumpkins.

10K

For Memorial Day I decided to run a 10k race. I wanted something that would push me but wouldn't be as difficult as the half marathon that I ran last year, so a 10k was perfect!!! It was in honor of the fallen soldiers and community heroes, (firefighters, cops, etc.) thought that was a good cause. Anyway, my family was there, which really meant a lot. They had a million places to be that day, and they came to support me. Thanks guys!!! It was a very early cold morning. Perfect for running, but freezing for the spectators. The kids got their faces painted while they waited. So cute!!! I'm not a very fast runner, (can you say tortoise?) but I beat my best time by 3 minutes, so I can't complain. I came in at 1:02. Good for me!!!

Up and Running Again

OK so we've been without our computer for several months. We finally got it all up and running today, so I am updating the blog with some highlights that have taken place over the last 8 months or so. Of course not everything is on here, just the most memorable for us. This was the last night in our house. We all slept on the floor cuz everything else was packed. This was a very emotional time for us, (especially me). We were so excited to move back to Utah, but we love our house and friends soooo much!!!

Bye House!

We went to the pumpkin patch. There was so much to do there; mazes, pumpkin princesses, seed spitting contests, pig races, pedal cars, monsters, life-sized Lincoln logs to build cabins, giant jumping pillows, inflatables, super slides, petting zoo, etc. You get the picture. SOOOOO much fun!!! We will always go, every year!

Of course it was Halloween. It's always been a really big deal in my family, so we threw a huge Halloween party. Adam and I were Asians and the Kids all wanted to be super heroes. We had a really good time!!!

Hiking Day

Adam and I went for a hike the other day. We wanted to climb up the only mountain in El Paso before we move, so we called our trusty babysitter and headed out. In this picture, you can see our destination in the back ground; the rock at the top of the mountain behind me.

A little cave/cutout in the side of them mountain that we found.


Here Adam found a rock wall that he wanted to climb. It was so tricky. There were no grooves or cuts into the rock for him to grab on, just his tip toes and finger tips. It was pretty impressive that he made it to the top!




VICTORY!!!

Here is our destination!!! So this is the most beautiful spot in all of El Paso. Glad that we got to the top to see it before we left.
