 My Mom had training in St. George for a few days, so us girls decided to go party with her.  My Awesome friend kept Taylee for me so McKell took Madilyn to keep her company.  It was great to not have to worry about naps!

 These girls loved to swim!  Most of the time we had to pool to ourselves.

 Day 2 we rode our bikes to the dollar store to get these awesome shooting things, they had a blast with them.
 Eating at the best pasta place in St. George the Pizza Factory.  We took our bikes with us this time so I drug my Mom on rides every night :0

 The girls were super excited to see the Temple, they jumped out of the stroller and wanted to tough it.
 So stinkin cute together
 Me and my girl
 McKells photography skills, haha
 This park was by far their favorite, they loved running through the water.  I am thinking Clinton needs to get one of these parks.

And Mckell won't stop long enough for a picture, so thanks Madi.
We couldn't have asked for better travelers they did Awesome!  They mostly played McKell was the Mom and madi was her Dog kept them entertained for hours.  I love listening to little kids interacting, so cute.  Thanks Mom for letting us come play while you sat inside all day.

Post Race fun




After the race you get 4 passes into the baby animal days at Thanksgiving Point.  Despite the kids being extremely tired (we had to wake them up at 5:20 a.m) they enjoyed the animals.  Then we all went over to the McMullin house and had the best Hamburger I had ever tasted (I was super super hungry) let the kids nap and they went to the Dinosaur Museum.  It was a good day.

Thanksgiving Point Half Marathon

I did it!  After months of running in complete pain the race day finally came.  I love ibuprofen :)  My brother-in-law told me there were only a few hills and they were quick so I thought it was going to be pretty easy.  I only train where its relatively flat.  Well I hit the first hill and thought wow if this is little and fast I am in a for a long run.  The run was really fun, it went through the gardens at Thanksgiving point so there were lots of twists and turns to keep it interesting.  Then it went all through the golf course, and the hills were enormous!!!!  My legs were burning by the time I got to the top I could barely keep running.  It was tough, then to find out at the end they had completely changed the course WOW!  I was really happy with my time considering the amount of hills there were.  I was shooting for 1:40 and ended up with 1:42:43 and found out later I got 3rd in my age group.  Sweet I have never placed in a Half Marathon before.  Good Race I would recommend it to anyone.

Its off!!

The 4 weeks flew by pretty fast, it was already time to remove the cast.  Since I got cut the only time the doctor cut my cast around my thumb I wasn't really wanting McKell to get it cut off.  To scar her for life :)  Even though I am sure it would have been fine, i had a creepy doctor.  So we just had Jeremy pull it off!  She didn't act any different that cast had just become a part of her and she used her had the same she did 4 weeks earlier.  Its nice to be done with that though.
