Ragnar 2011

Clint joined the Ragnar - Wasatch Back Race this year. He trained for months and was very prepared. The race was June 17 and 18th.


Here's a short description of the race: 
Wasatch Back?

Think of it as a 192-mile party with 12 friends. Teams of 12 will rock out to live bands, enjoy the wacky participant costumes, and make life-long friends with teammates and competitors. Teams will party along the backside of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains from Logan (85 miles north of Salt Lake City) to Park City, Utah (15 miles east of Salt Lake City).

Van 2 runners.

Girls Camp Care Packages

We did it! 
Our Top Secret service project was a complete success.

As a Relief Society service project we created care packages to send to our Young Women at girls camp. We had many wonderful sisters that helped with the care packages. We had SO MANY yummy treats, beautiful love letters and loving hands that tied each and every bow. Each young woman received a bag full of treats and then another bag with their hearts, love letters and inspirational quotes. We kept the entire project a secret from the girls and their leaders.

Their camp theme was Be Beautiful to Him

Loving hands put each bag together.

Each girl received these precious hand-made hearts. 

Each heart had a little message for the girls.

Bright bows and tags adorned each bag.

We had two big boxes FULL of love!

At 2:45 pm the girls received their care package. After a rainy night (with a tent that leaked), just a few hours of sleep and a long morning hike the girls were enjoying ward time and soaking their feet. When the girls saw their gift from the Relief Society, you could see their eyes light-up. They were so touched, grateful and thankful for the gift. Girls Camp always has a sweet spirit and you could definitely feel it. The Lord took our efforts and they were magnified... It was neat.

One young woman grabbed me as I was leaving and said, 

"Thank you. No one has ever done anything like that before... for us."

I'm so grateful the girls KNOW they are loved by their RS sisters.

Fun with Grandpa Dennis

We've had Grandpa Dennis staying with us for the past two days. It's been so fun to have Grandpa here. My dad made a tailgate out of a piece of wood to replace a missing tailgate on the boy's truck. Derek kept saying, "Grandpa is so smart!!" Derek also loved playing "hunt animals" downstairs with Grandpa. It was a real treat to have him here with us.

Grandpa was able to see our water-system at work.

Caleb started using pieces of wood to make bridges.

Some Old Photos

I had these old photos in some archives I'm sorting through. It's so fun to look at old photographs.

I LOVE this photo of me on the lamb.
