Summer Happenings

Grandma and Grandpa Pitcher came to visit us. We attended the Castle Valley Pagent and a parade. Our lucky children were able to attend 3 town parades this summer. We're definitley stashed with potty treats for a while. Us at the pagent. I was humming along to the songs of the program and Adam turned to me and said, " You know this song?" Well only because it's exactly the same every year. Except I'm more apt to crying and getting teary now that I've got children.Adam has been keeping busy with yard and house projects. He says that he just wants to get them off the list but I say as soon as he finishes one project he adds two more. So what's the hurry? Kaylee and Spencer love to help. Kaylee and her friend made cardboard cars. It was so cute to see them walk around the block in them. You all might be sick of hearing about my running but I'll post for my record. I ran my first 10k in Huntington and took first place. I couldn't believe it when I started out as the first girl and wondered if I was taking it too fast and wouldn't have enough for the end. I learned a lot from that race and very glad I attempted a 10k.
The picture above was a 5k race in Helper this past weekend. As I crossed the swinging bridge I saw my parent, brother and sisters, Adam and my kids. They surprised me by coming to watch and for the rest of the race I was emotional and extremely grateful. Thanks MOM and DAD for supporting me.
My goal was to get under 24.00 mins and wha-whoo! My time was 23.23. I never would have thought I could do so well. That's 3 minutes faster than my original goal at the begining of the summer.
