Memorial Day Weekend in Colorado

For Memorial Day Weekend, I went to Colorado for a "Girls Weekend" with my mom and sisters. Every year we run the Bolder Boulder 10K on Memorial Day, but the last two we have missed out due to our wedding two years ago and conflicting schedules last year. It's one of my favorite races and I am so glad I got to go home for it! (Todd wasn't too sad, he got to golf with his dad and brothers for two days.)

My mom is awesome because she got us all matching running outfits for the race! Such a fun weekend with my family, Colorado is my favorite place to visit!

I love my siblings and my cute niece. It's always fun to be home.

Colorado sunrises and sunsets are the best. You have to find the beauty when you are waking up at 5 a.m. to run!

All of the girls in our matching outfits, thanks mom!

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day Weekend!

From Colorado to North Carolina

September was a a blur for us, we had so much going on and had an amazing month. We went on our first camping trip as a family. It was a spur of the moment after we found out that Todd didn't have to work. Our neighbors invited us to go so we brought the dogs and despite a deflating mattress, had a great time!

Next trip, we headed to Colorado for Ragnar number two! Despite the altitude change, a little rain and another night of getting sick, we loved this race! Less teams meant more space at exchange points, more places to rest and shower and more flushing toilets instead of porta potties. Plus, the views were amazing! I ran 10 miles down Vail Pass for one of my legs and the view was amazing! I could barely walk after the race, but it was so fun!

Finally, at the end of the month we headed to North Carolina for Todd's best friend's wedding. We were able to visit family and attend the wedding. I am now OBSESSED with the east coast even more so than before. We toured UNC and Duke's campuses. All of the trees and lakes are breath taking, and I didn't want to leave! We even tried some delicious southern food (sweet potato tater totes are amazing!).

It was a fun month, but we are ready to settle back into our routine and I am sure our pets are ready for us to be home for a while. Here are some of my favorite pictures from September:

Summer Update

It's been a busy couple of months since my last post, but we have had a great summer so far! So far since school ended for Todd, we took Sheridan to the MTC to start her mission in Milan, ran the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay, celebrated our first anniversary and spent the Fourth of July in Newport Beach.

Here's a little photo recap (not featured, we spent our first anniversary in Park City!).


Last time seeing Sheridan for 18 months before she entered the MTC. 


 We survived Ragnar Relay... just a couple severe cases of dehydration, no big deal.


Our amazing team!


The medals were so cool that we decided we needed another one. Here we come Colorado Ragnar!


Spent an amazing few days on Newport Beach for the Fourth with our family. We were tan and pros at boogie boarding by the end. Take us back!
