We spent the  night there and had two days of fun at the pool.  We also played on the lake, shot guns, watched movies, rode bikes, ate great food, and most of all had a great time with family!

Soccer-Parade-Boating

So July 17th was such a fun and busy day starting out with Carson playing in his first Sparta Soccer game of the year. It was so fun to watch him, and as soon as his game ended we hopped in the car and drove downtown to be in the days of  47’ Children’s Parade. We made it just in time. The kids had a lot of fun and both of my parents even saw us on T.V. It was a very hot and busy morning and even harder with daddy being gone to school that day. We arrived back home in the afternoon to get a phone call from my brother-in-law Josh inviting us to go boating with them at Rockport Reservoir. Warren was on his way home from school so we jumped at the offer and hurried there to meet them. We had so much fun playing in the water. It was such a fun occasion because Brynlee and Carson knee-boarded for the first time. And Carson being the show off he is even pulled off several 360’s. Baylee was even feeling a little confident watching all the kids and wanted to try to kneeboard too; but once we put her on the board she started to freak out. I was so impressed with her wanting to try I told her what a big girl she was! The bummer of the boating trip was me forgetting my camera in the car so I couldn't take pictures of these fun little moments on the water. We unloaded out of the water around sunset and finished the night off with my sister and her family at in and out, YUM! What a great day, and the best part of it all was watching my kids doing fun things for the FIRST time!!

Herriman 5k Run…

June 27th I ran my second 5k but not with the same success as the first one. I had the flu for two days prior and also the morning of still not good. I knew I had to give it a try anyway but lesson learned don’t run if your body isn’t healthy. I had to walk a lot and my body was telling me to just stop moving. I felt horrible and my body felt even worse. I cried the whole way home because I was so disappointed in my run. Two days prior to the run I met my sister at the route of this 5k run and we ran it together to see how it would go. We both ran it together successfully and had a great time. So I guess this was a good lesson for me to learn that things don’t always go as planned and that I shouldn’t be so hard on myself at least I made it across the finish line.
