Weekend news

We had a fun weekend, it started at Natalie's Cross Country race at Murray Park on Friday afternoon.  It was a rainy, wet day but we had lots of fun cheering her on at her race. She did fantastic at her race and came in 2nd place out of a  few hundred  runners.  
Way to go Natalie!!!!

Natalie is an amazing runner! 
I forced her to run in the early summer mornings, over two years ago, while we were living at my parent's house.  She was a good sport to run with me but she didn't really like it.   She would tell me all the "Harry Potter" books as wek ran to keep her going. 

Then she joined the East High Cross Country team and BAM, she turned into a great runner!  She has a lot of dedication and self motivation.  She run a crazy amount everyday and runs 60+ miles a week.  Sometimes she even runs multiple times in a day to get her mileage.  We discovered this week that Natalie runs more in a week than Danny drives his car in a week! Ha Ha!! 

We are so proud of her accomplishments!!! 

We met all the family at the race and then had pizza and cake after to celebrate Mary's 6th Birthday.

Elizabeth looked so cute in her bonnet and sweater made by great Grandma Lamb.  She was grumpy at the race and finally fell asleep in her stroller. 



Then on Saturday we went to Taylor's soccer game.  Taylor played great and scored one goal.  They have a  good team this year, and all the boys play together really well. 


Go Taylor!

Last night we watched the BYU vs. Utah football game.  WOW, what a blowout! 
 We finally turned off the game, because we couldn't watch BYU lose anymore. 

Our family is pretty neutral on the BYU/Uof U rivalry, we just like to see a good game. 
But we are big BSU fans!  We loved Boise State Football while we lived in Boise.  They have a great team, and they are so fun to watch play. 

So here's to Fall Football- GO BSU!!!
