Looks like we have a new family member for 10 days.  I don’t love dogs, but I do love this picture I took with my new awesome camera!

We had a Dorothy this year (made by my mom!) And we had two zombie/ pirate/ monsters: Nate went trick-or treating with his friend, Adam.  He came home with 150 pieces of candy.  The other two stayed with Wade.  They had over 100 still. We also had a fun night at the legacy Center Halloween …

I just read that a giraffe needs less than 2 hours of sleep a day! What does a giraffe need 22 waking hours for?  Giraffe’s get to graze and meditate in the warm sun all day.  I’m the one who needs 22 hours a day!  If only I could be a giraffe. Then: I could …

I ran 10 miles yesterday with my friends (Eleice and Katie).  I can’t believe I used to prefer running alone. Don’t get me wrong, I still love going alone. But 10 miles is just so much more enjoyable with friends.

Wade and I had a great time yesterday. The kids were all in school.  We drove down to Provo to hike up to the Y.  That hike used to seem so much longer than I remember.  It was probably less than a mile one way. We made it up in about 30 minutes.  It was …

It’s official. We have snow, and its still October.

I’ve run the same 5.5 mile loop three days this week. The first time I finished in 1 hr. 8 minutes, second time 1 hour 5, and this morning, 1 hour!  A whole 8 minutes off my time! I’m way excited about that.  Something that may have helped the run this morning was music.  The …

Worried that I was too late in the season to take my kids to pick our own apples, we tried anyway.  And yesterday was the best weather yet! So I’m glad we waited.  Armed with baskets and bags, the kids had a great time finding just the right apples. They couldn’t even wait till we …

We haven’t given much thought to Halloween costumes yet. But Nate and Erica were invited to a Halloween party tonight. They both dug through the costume box and came up with these: Very creative indeed!
