Our second dirty dash! Probably would do more, if it weren’t so expensive. The kids had a blast. Nate did the full 10K. Me, Wade, Erica, and TJ did the 5K. I actually got sick, like I was going to throw up. The kids went ahead and finished before I did.

Escalante-Kodochrome-Bryce
The tough part of a weekend getaway like this is sorting through all the amazing pictures! 2 weeks ago, we decided to take one last hiking trip before winter, and go to the Escalante/Bryce Canyon area. I decided Bryce was my top spot as the most beautiful landscape in Utah! Really, I wish I could …
Bryce Canyon Race and Hiking
A few months ago, Eliece and I decided to sign up for a half marathon in Bryce Canyon. We heard it was a gorgeous race- plus it was a 2000 foot descent (bonus), and I’ve been wanting to run a race that we got to travel for! Unfortunately, deciding so late, there were very few …
Alpine Sliding Rock with Kids
We tried to go to Alpine Sliding Rock last weekend, when we were stopped at the gate to the trail by a cop. He told us we couldn’t slide on the rock that day because they were filming a movie! He also said there was someone “very famous” up at the waterfall, and hopefully they …
Snowboarding!!
When all your kids are school age, and your husband works an un-traditional schedule, you can do fun things, like go snowboarding on a weekday! We signed up for a snowboarding lesson through Park City. It was a gorgeous day, probably 40 degrees and blue skies. We had 5 people in our class. We learned …
Arches and Halloween
We spent Thursday in Arche’s National Park! We had a fabulous tour of The Fiery Furnace, guided by a park ranger. We also did our own hike up to Delicate Arch. This year for Halloween we had an inmate, a baby, and a Star Wars Clone.
Lake Tahoe
We just got back from 4 days at Lake Tahoe! What a gorgeous city! We stayed at Kings Beach on the North side of the lake. We had a cabin with 4 bedrooms, several decks, a loft, on a golf course (perfect for night games), and walking distance from the beach. Day 1: BEACH Day …
The Irrigation Pond
The best part about living in our house is the pond and field behind our house. The kids were super bored today, so Wade blew up the rafts and took them to the water. It was super cold in the water, but they liked it.
Alpine Slides
Courtesy of the good folks at a blogging conference, Wade and the kids came up to park city for a BBQ dinner (sponsored by Busch’s Beans) and riding the Alpine Slides! We had so much fun. We rode the lift to the top of the mountain, which was gorgeous. Then raced down the mountain on …
California Vacation!
We had so much fun last week. We drove on Monday, May 10th from Lehi to Newport Beach. We made amazing time and got in around 2pm. We stayed with Grandma Farrell, who was as gracious as a hostess could be. The first day, the kids ran down to the bay to check out the …
