~Lazy Dogs~

Lazy Dog 1 and 2, have come up with a new habit since the kids and I have started back at school! Shelby and Lady lay on this otoman (?) that sits in front of the window in Shawns office and stare out it all day. Shawn thinks they are watching for us to come home, Shelby, she loves the kids so much. We're thinking she is more of the kids dog instead of Shawns' and I's. She spends a lot more time with them then us. Maybe that explains while she is so crazy. She gets it from the kids!

Top of Utah Half Marathon

Well, I did it! I was hoping for a faster time but I finished it and am very proud of myself. I am still thinking about doing the Ogden Marathon in May of next year. If you are like me at all, I want to do another half marathon just to beat my time from last time. I know, Shawn says I'm crazy but I met so many fun people while running the Top of Utah that the experience alone there is way worth it.

~I'm ready~

Ok, I am officially ready for school to start! School shopping done! Went through all of the kids clothes and their rooms. We did a little rearranging at the time also. Classroom ready, went and bought me a few shirts for school. I think we have done it all! Oh wait! House Clean!! Now I'm ready!!

~Anxiety Update~

Ok, so the ward split was crazy! We went from the largest ward to the smallest. Now I don't have a calling so I feel a little lost! Now that that is over hopefully I can concentrate on everything else!

~Anxiety~

So it is the 2nd of August and there is way to much on my plate right now! 1. Ward split this sunday. 2. Being released from my calling. 3. School starts in 16 days! 4. Running Top of Utah 1/2 marathon on August 28th. AHHHH!! Number 1 and 2 are very emotional number 3 don't want to even think about yet!! Number 4 this is my first and maybe my last we'll see. So what else could be handed to me? I don't know but I feel it coming!

So we planned a last minute camping trip with our friends the Merritt's! We decided to just go up Logan Canyon. We stayed at Wood camp. Beautiful. We had shade the whole time but we ran into a little problem. As the kids and dad's went on a hike, Tami and I decided to hang back and read our books. About ten minutes later Joel came running back to camp yelling " We found a rattlesnake" It scared me. Lucky they had taken their BB guns, and Pellet guns with them on the hike. When we got up there this what we found!

It is still alive but bloody so this is what Shawn decided to do!

The kids each took their turns holding the snake!
