SoJo Half Marathon

We ran South Jordan Half Marathon in September. This is the first year for the So. Jordan race. It had a few glitches (not well organized)..... but it was fun! It was the first race that we have really trained for and run together. It was a nice down hill 13 miles. The race started in Copperton (cute little town at the base of the copper pit) and runs East towards the Jordan River Temple.

G & G Miles came down and took our kids to the finish. It was fun to see them along the road and then at the finish. The girls ran the last 100 yards with Jane which was neat!~

Mrs. the Place.....

The kids had there picture taken the last time they were at "This is the Place". They (and Jane) love it there. Briggs calls it "Mrs. the Place".

Swimming

We really enjoyed the pool this year. We tried to go at least twice a week- usually three times. It was so fun. The kids are fish! Miles and Lilly can swim all over. Vanna is getting pretty good too. Briggs is always putting his face in the water and is fine as long as he has his life jacket on. He is so fearless that he is scary unless he has it on.

Photos

We went out last Saturday and took some photos of the kids... we kinda like this one.

Labor Day Fun

Our annual Labor day run in Pocatello was great! Miles joined us this year to run the 5K. He did really well considering he had to use the potty in a hurry half way through. It is always a great time and a fun way to start the long weekend.

Scott set a personal best by finishing in 23:30, and took 3rd in his age group!
After the race we went to the FAIR! Tiger ears!!! Yummm.
It was a great Labor day Weekend.

First Day of School 10-11

Jane is running

Jane has been thinking she wanted to run a little longer race (half marathon, 13.1 miles).
She has never (even in a training run) run more than 3 miles.

So off she went. Her first long training run was 6 Miles. Then she ran 7. Then she was going to do 8 miles but missed a turn on the route and ended up running 9!!

So it looks like Scott and Jane will both be running the South Jordan Half Marathon at the end of September. It should be alot of fun!!
Way to go Jane!!!

Snowbird Tram

We have really enjoyed the canyons this summer. It has been a great way to get out of the heat.
So we took the kids up to Snowbird and took the tram to the top. It was a nice 60° at the top.

B & L, and kids..

Our Gang at the top.

Scott's trip to the Tetons

Scott took the Varsity Scouts (14-16) to the Teton High Adventure Base.
They went white water rafting, hiking in the Tetons, played games, shot guns and other wild guy stuff.


On one of the hikes they walked past this bear.... 10 feet way. It was too busy digging in an old log to be worried about a bunch of scouts.

Silverlake

We went up to Silverlake with B & L and kids. It was a lot of fun. It's really pretty and we were able to get out of the heat for a few hours.


B & L brought ice cream which was a fun treat for the kids.
Summer will be over before we know it!!!
