24th of July

We didn't get many pictures from the 24th of July. We decided to ride over the mountain and go to the Beaver horse races.  It was a lot of fun.  And the mountain was beautiful. 

Bear Sighting!!

Bear Sighting!!

Grandpa Rick, Daxon and I took a ride up on the Beaver Mountain to pick up our camper.  We stopped along the way to talk with some friends.  Along the tree line, I spotted this little guy!  He was hanging out in someones camp eating their leftovers.  We decided to drive closer to get some better pictures (as close as we dared).  He didn't seem too worried about us.  I was so excited, because it was the very first bear I've seen up there.  It was pretty fun to see!!  The very same day we killed a rattle snake.  I think I was more scared of the snake! Hate 'em! So glad I had my camera and good lens with me on this trip!

Bryce Canyon Half Marathon

Bryce Canyon Half Marathon

This was my third time running this race.  I barely missed my best time by 2 minutes.  My time was 1:50:03.  I wasn't too disappointed, though, because I didn't train as hard this year.  I felt really good the entire race and it was fun having Kate there with me!  We had a great time and the weather was awesome.  Wish Brian could've been there to run it with me, but he was at work in Idaho.  Maybe next time ;)  My wonderful Mom was there to support me and I appreciate her for that.  She's the best!  We had to hurry out of there to make it to Daxon's state baseball game. 

State Champs!

Our 10U All-Star played North Sevier for the state championship in Richfield.  We won 22-2!!  Our boys played great and it was so fun watching them!!  We have some great coaches also!  Such a fun year of baseball!!

4th of July Weekend

4th of July Weekend

Since we had a long holiday weekend, we decided to go to our favorite camping spot on Betenson Flat.  We had a fun time camping.  The kids really had fun in the pre-made fort.  The weather was beautiful and we sure enjoyed the cool mountain air.

We had a wonderful 4th of July.  Destri was part of the Piute County Royalty again this year, so she rode the queen float in the Kingston and Circleville parades.  We decided to take part in Circleville's festivities.  The kids had a blast playing with their friends and racing.
