Ryan turns 40

Ryan turned 40 this year. It's crazy to me that we are getting that old. I totally remember my parents turning 40 and thinking they were old. Now that Ryan is 40 and I'm close it's really not that old. We had a good day. I tried to get someone to take the kids for us for no such luck so we sent the kids to school and took them out early to tour the Phoenix Temple. I love being able to take my kids to tour temples before they are dedicated. I hope and pray that they feel the spirit a little bit.
But back to Ryan's birthday. I love this man of mine. I am blessed to have him as a husband and as a father to my kids. He is such a great man. He loves his family, works hard and enjoys life. He really does live life to the fullest and is a great example to me on how I should live each day.

Happy Birthday Ryan!!!!

Snowflake

We love going up to Snowflake/Show Low/Pinetop to watch football and play in the pumpkin patch. We went up to watch Rhett play Blue Ridge. Unfortunately Show Low lost, dang yellow jackets. But that didn't dampen our Saturday. We had a great time at the pumpkin patch and even ran into some other Mesa people.

Carlsbad

We are had blast in Carlsbad, CA. There were about seven other families all from Mesa so the kids and adults all had someone to hang out with. Which makes for a great time at the beach. But really any time at the beach is a great time. 

 

 

 

 

St. George Marathon

St. George Marathon

 

I am so amazed at my husband's ability to run a marathon so fast. He ran St. George in 3:11:42 a 7:18 mile pace. Crazy fast and another Boston qualifying time. He works so hard and always thinks he's not as fast as he is. I love my crazy fast running husband.

 

Ryan, almost to the finish line. It was so fun to cheer him on at the end of the race.
