A fall day
Nothing too new to report here. Mom and dad have been on a cruise to New England this past week. They got to spend time in one of my favorite cities! New York!
It was so nice having a fall break. We didn't do too much, but it was just nice to hang out and enjoy each others company. Thursday we had fun playing with the Harris', then Friday we spent the day with the horses riding and stuff. We have been renting movies from Red Box a lot since there is one at the new gas station close to our house. I loved Australia. it was long, but i really liked it.
Yesterday I spent the day cleaning while Brian and the older girls went horsin' again. Then we took a drive up the canyon for pictures and shooting practice. Which reminds me, being deer season and all, last week I went outside with phoebe and it was dark, about 9:30 and there in my backyard was this big buck. He scared me because I didnt' expect him to be there. We just stood and looked at each other a bit. They are always in our yard in winter and stuff, but I've never seen a buck that size so close up. I told him to run and hide. Well, I guess that is it. Nothing too exciting. I always have to fight sadness on Sunday nights because Brian has to leave for work the next day and the girls have school. However, I am so grateful they have work and are healthy enough for school and stuff, but I sure do miss them. Oh ya, So I am trying to decide what to do about New Moon. I waited too long to get tickets for a normal time of day. ( i get them at theaters with reserved seating so we dont' have to wait in line for 3 hours). So now the only time Brian and I could sit together, is at 3:30 am. As far as Shelby is concerned, that would be the best time to go since she would be asleep. Easy on the babysitter. We just might do it. I told him we need to be wild and crazy and adventurous again like in our dating days. Why not? I better get tickets ordered if we are going to do it. I am excited. I love those books. Fun and entertaining to me.

Race
I am so dumb because of all things to forget to take to St. George last weekend, i forgot what I wanted to take most. My camera. So I relied on Jenn and my mom do take some for me. I took some at the race with my phone, but haven't emailed them to myself or anything but they are on my facebook if you want to see them.
The marathon went so great! Brian, Casey and Carl all got a personal record. Brian's time was 2:55. Caseys was 2:53, and Carl's was 3:22. It was so exciting to watch. We stayed and Kim and Carls this time while Casey and Jenn stayed at mom and dads. we had a lot of fun. We got down there Thursday night and just kind of hung out friday morning until Carl got done then we all went over to the fitness expo to pick up race packets. Friday night we all went to mom and dads and Casey and mom fixed us a wonderful carb filled dinner.
Then we went back to kim and carls and Brian got ready and went to bed about 8:30, 9 while the kids and I watched a movie. Lauren came over and with us for a slumber party because Jenn, Grandpa, Megan and Rachel went to Tuachan to see Annie. Brian and Carl had to get up at 3:45 to get ready and leave to catch the bus up to the start. Brian was pleasantly suprised to be lumped in with the "elite" runners. Casey was an elite too. The Elite group had their own fires and porta potties to enjoy until the gun went off. It was really exciting to see them come in so fast. Brian didn't feel too well when he got done and got the chills really bad, but after a poscicle or two, they all perked back up. Then Casey and Brian got to go to Green Valley spa for a massage and Carl got to coach a soccer game. I dropped Brian off at the spa then Casey and I drove over to the soccer games then we all met and went to dinner at Brick OVen. ON the way home Sunday, our truck kind of broke down and we had to leave it there and SHelby and I hitched a ride home with some people from Genola who drove past and luckily Casey and Jenn were behind us to get Brian and the other girls home. Brians parents just took Brian back down to Beaver last night to pick it up. Brian bribed Kenni with treats to go with him. Anyway, it was a great weekend.
