Chickens

When I got home from Phoenix I came home to a surprise, CHICKENS! Haiden really wanted chickens and so Ryan said yes and decided to build a home for them.

Phoenix

Well I guess it has been a while since I have posted on my blog. I have to say life has been busy. I went to Phoenix with my sister to see a good friend from highschool. I was so good to get away, we had such a great time. Here are some of our adventures!

This is my friend Katreena and I standing in front of an old mining town that sits on the side of the mountain.

Cristy, my sister, and me at the science muesum.

Here we are at the HOUSE OF JOY an old brothal!

We had lunch at a restruant that was in an old Asylum. They actually have ghost tours that they do at night. This town was crazy. It was like stepping back in time. Everything was so old. We has such a great time. I can't wait to do it again!

Family Pictures

It has been a while since I have posted because my computer was having issues. We recently had family pictures taken. Here are a few.

Life

It's been a long time since I have blogged. I was waiting to get our family pictures done so we could post them, but I won't get them back for a while, so I will update you on all of us! Madi and Haiden have both started basketball so we are busy driving them to and from that. Haiden was in a JUDO tournament on halloween and took second place, she did awesome. Madi just started taking a dance class twice a week and is really excited about it. Elle just finished soccer and is taking a break for a while. Ryan and Haiden are headed to another JUDO/JU tournament in Montana at the first of December. I just switched to night shift at the hospital and am trying to adjust. I also started taking an adult clogging class which is really fun. That sums up our life currently and I will post our family pictures soon, so be watching for them!

Elle's First Soccer Game

As you can see from the pictures, Elle did not do much playing. She sat on the side lines, then sat in the middle of the field, and refused to play. Hopefully she will play in the next game!

 

Marathon

Ryan and I decided early this year we would run the marathon and the 1/2 marathon. We signed up and paid for it in March of this year so we would have the motivation to train throughout the year. Ryan ran the full marathon which is 26.2 miles, I ran the 1/2 marathon with my friend and cousin-in-law Connie and her sister-in-law Melody. What a great feeling of accomplishment, I can't believe we did it! I dropped Ryan off to get on the bus a 5 am, his race started at the top of Buckskin at 6:15 am. My race started in Inkom at 8 am.

Connie and I just before we left to catch the bus to Inkom.

I decided to join him.

Definantly a happy moment.
