First Day of School

I can't believe both my kids are in school.  Kylee started Kindergarten this year and although I was sure she was totally ready for it academically (she is already reading), I was super nervous for her socially.  She is such a sweet little shy girl that she gets super anxious about the strangest stuff.  She did great in pre-school, but it did take a few weeks.  The first day of Kindergarten was pretty much the same.  She was super excited and all ready to go, until we actually got there and she saw all the kids (and parents) in her class.  She freaked...cried...and begged me not to leave her.  It broke my heart.  

I left her and hoped that things would be ok.  She struggled the first week but is now going every day with no problems.  She rocks her homework and is such a great little student.  I can't believe how fast she is growing up.  

Cannon started pre-school at Kiddie Kollege.  He had no worries whatsoever and walks right into class everyday.  It is so fun to watch him grow.  He is getting just as smart as Kylee and since they are both in afternoon classes, it makes it easy on Mom as well.  

I love these two SO much!  

Rivarly Relay

At last minute, a couple of my co-workers needed someone to fill in on their team for the Rivalry Relay.  It starts at the University of Utah and ends in Provo by BYU.  Each person on the team takes turns running a leg of the race, with each leg being a different distance and elevation.  It was AWESOME!!!  I ended up running a total of 10.5 miles and with my longest leg being just shy of 5 miles.  It was a gorgeous run and a ton of fun.  

My team placed 16th out of 80 overall and 7th in the mixed gender category.  Seeing how we had a 12 year-old, a 14 year-old, and then a bunch of old 30+ folks...we did pretty awesome.  

The only pic I got.  I'm running on Highland Drive in the Holladay area. I used to live close to here a long time ago, so it was really fun to think of those memories while I ran.  

It was a great race and one that I highly recommend.  

Summer 2012

Woah...it's been forever since I posted.  Time is just flying by way too quickly and someone needs to slow it down.  In an effort to get quickly caught up - here is a post to sum up summer of 2012.  It was great.  Full of lots of trips to the Zoo, Lagoon, hiking, golfing, parades, fireworks, parties, swimming, visits to the Aerospace Museum, and tons and tons of fun.
