Ragnar Relay

Somehow, I got tricked into running the Ragnar Relay (the Wasatch Back - the Utah Relay).  It was a 191 mile relay from Logan, Utah to Park City, Utah.  It took our team 28 hours to complete.  We had 12 members on our team (2 vans with 6 member in each van).  It was quite the stinky, smelly, tired journey!

Our team name was DON'T PUNCH MY CAR (check out the video to understand the craziness:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80entLldZOg        )

Someone has to go to the Mediterranean, I'll take one for the team!

Tim won an Eastern Mediterranean Cruise from work!  Hard work....I know!  Someone has to do it though!

We went in May and flew to Rome, Italy.

Sicily

Every time we were trying to take pictures in Sicily, "Bobby" always happened to be in the background.  He became our Sicily buddy!

We were at a dance recital at home and guess who we saw.....our American Fork version of "Bobby".

A cannoli in Sicily...yummmmmm

A few funnies during this spring

Our 3 year old learned how to play Angry Birds on the Iphone.  She's good too!

We had to get a new toilet and let the kids smash the old one.  Great entertainment!

Annie takes her turn at the toilet!

In addition to our regular garden at home, I decided to get a spot at our church garden.  Yep, we totally need 2 gardens!  This garden only has corn, watermelon, pumpkins, cantelope and cucumber.  Big things that need space to grow!

Getting ice cream after a hard day working in the gardens.

At the starting line of the Utah Valley Half Marathon.  It was 4:00am....too early to be running.

A super Saturday getting a pedicure with my big girls!
