All Is Right With The World....

(For those of you who don't know who this is... shame on you. But it is Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. The couple from "The Notebook," dating in REAL LIFE!! I'm happy.)

A Night at the Airport

When Jason and I were dating we used to love to go to the airport and watch the planes come in. That was back in the day before 911 and we could literally sit right under the planes as they came in. It was a really fun thing to do.
We haven't been out there since 911 (or shortly after) and so we decided to go the other night with Jack. We were sad to see that they have demolished our old viewing area and even have the parking lot locked up, but we were able to find a nice spot of grass at the golf course and we still had a pretty good view. Jack loved it! We will have to go back again soon.

Park City

We have had a fun week, this past week. My friend Kari invited us to come and enjoy her timeshare in Park City with her family. We went up last Sunday and stayed until Thursday. Jason took Monday off, but commuted the rest of the week. We had a great time swimming, running, shopping and eating out. Jack loved being around the other kids. It is so fun to watch him develop socially. We took him on the Alpine slide and he loved it. We had a barbeque and had many hours of fun at the pool. I read two books, one being "Breaking Dawn," which was great!
It was a much needed break. Thanks to the Slade's for allowing us to join in!

PS: The pic of Jack in his slippers is just a random one but so cute I had to include it.

Lu's First Half Marathon!

I know that all you guys are probably sick of hearing me talk about running... (what can I say? I love love love it!). Anyway, this post is not about me, but about my wonderful sister Lu (Lauren). She is not a runner by any stretch of the imagination and she has always watched me and Kris compete with no real desire to ever join in. About a month ago, she changed her mind and so we all made the goal to run the Provo Half Marathon yesterday. She trained pretty well, but still didn't have a lot of time to train so we weren't sure how she would feel come race day. I promised to run with her and give her a push if needed. She did awesome!! I couldn't have been more proud of her. The last three miles were tough... as she said..."Satan entered my very soul... I felt like I was being sent down to hell..." among other things. The runners around us were probably very entertained listening to her rant and to me urging her along. We crossed the line in 2hrs 25min, not bad at all. I'm so very proud of her! I love my Lu.

PS: Kristin also did great. She was a bit ahead of us the whole way and came in at 2hr 12min. I love both my sisters!
