This past weekend I discovered something new about myself. I realized that I have never been first at anything. Well yes, sterling scholar.....nope....I was runner-up. I have experienced the sense of accomplishment that comes from being first at something. I ran a 4th of July 5k and placed #1 in my age division 20-29. It's amazing the extra power and motivation you feel when you've succeeded.
It's funny because I was just going to be done with races after this one but when I finished I commited to trying a 10k in 2 weeks. WHAT? I've never even considered it....ever! I guess I was caught up in my moment of glory. I want everyone to know that the power of your mind, believing in yourself, and being confident is more powerful than all the work you put into things. You can be 1st too!
We had a reunion in Blanding this weekend. This is Kaylee looking for money in the saw dust. She would only pick up one at a time. It was funny because Adam couldn't just watch, he had to help. She has since been carrying her cup of money around and counting it over and over. We had her pay tithing for the first time and she wasn't very thrilled about that but we helped her buy a necklace with some of it.
Adam loved the scenery. He even almost ran into a buck with his four-wheeler.
The kids loved to camp. They woke up in a super silly mood.
Yah! Spencer has gone potty for a whole week. He is 18 months and mommy is thrilled. Despite all the negative comments I've gotten about potty training boys early we have finally succeeded. So we took the potty camping. It was pretty cute.
Me playing a Minute to Win It game called bottoms up. There was a yo-yo tied to the back of my pants and had to knock off 4 pop bottles in 60 seconds.
We stopped at Wilson's Arch. I think that people thought we were crazy to take the kids but they really liked it.
