Sunrise 10K

Last weekend Mom and I got to do a 10k race with our running group. It was hot, humid, and hilly. In other words it was a miserable race. I hated every minute of it. It was my worst 10k race ever. I started to doubt my ability to do the half marathon in San Fransisco. Mom did fantastic! She walked a faster time than last year by quite a bit. She held a 15 minute pace! She finished second in her age group! Way to go Mom!! I found pictures on line of the race of myself, but there were none of mom. I need to start bringing my camera to these events.

P90X

I started the P90X fitness program. I had to take before pictures and then I work out everyday except Sunday for 30 days and then I take another picture. Then I take another at 60 days and then again at 90 days. I really want to stick with this program so I decided if I posted my pictures every thirty days I would have to. You guys will have to let me know if you see any improvement. I am hoping to look really tone by the time 90 days are up. Wish me luck!! Emily is going to be doing this program with me also. She is the one who took these pictures. I have ones of her also, but thought she may not appreciate me posting them. Good Luck Emily with the program. I hope you have already gotten to start. I have been doing it for 2 weeks. I dont know if I look different but I definately feel a little stronger!!

Tori is A Sophmore!

I cant believe Tori is in the 10th grade! She was really excited to go back to school and see her friends. She has a very busy schedule this year. She has Seminary at 6 am then she goes to swim practice at 7:15. Then off to school at 9:20. She does not get home until 5:15pm and then it is homework. She has quite a few difficult classes this year. She is taking pre calculus, chemistry, world history, multimedia 2, spanish 2 and English. She seems to like all her classes so far, but it has only been a week. Here is a picture of Tori on the first day of school. I forgot to take the picture in the morning, so I suprised her with the camera when she arrived home after school. That is why she looks so tired. She has to wear glasses now, because she has a stigmatism. I think she looks so grown up in the glasses!

Idaho Trip

Tori and I had a lot of fun on our trip to Idaho. We were glad to get a chance to hang out with Emily, Scott and the kids. We got to ride horses, go huckleberry picking, sanddunes, and went hiking in a park(I forgot the parks name) But here are some of our photos from the trip.

New Hobby

I decided to take a quilting class. Tori told me I needed to find more things to do, because she was worried I would be bored while she was at school. So I joined a quilting class. We make one block a month for a whole year and at the end of the year, we will have a twin sized quilt. This is the first block I did. I was excited that everything lined up so well. I only had to rip out one seam. I was told we should leave one mistake like the amish do, because nothing but God is perfect. I liked that so I left one very obvious mistake. Can you spot it? I am very proud of my first block. I hope the others go together just as well.
