I cannot believe I have not updated this blog since January! We have had such a busy 11 months and I will try to catch up on our lives a little bit....
February-May: 2010 Dance Competition season was amazing! Ultimate Dance placed well at every competition, I couldn't be prouder! At Nationals we took 42 Number and came home with 42 1st places along with 6 overall High Points, 2 Overall Best Dance studio and Director of the Year! Again!
May: We took a fun little trip to California. We spent 2 days at Lego Land 1 day at the Beach and 1 Day at Disneyland! We met up with our good friends the Woottons at Disneyland and had such a great time! The boys are at such a fun age and we enjoyed every minute of it.
June: Rich and I took a little trip to the east coast. We flew to Boston attended the red Sox game with a tour of Fenway Park. We then took the train to New York and stayed on Broadway where we attended the musical "Promises, Promises". Kristen Chenowyth is amazing!! We then took the Mega bus for $1 to Philly where we ended our trip with a phillies game! I just love going on trips and spending time with Rich we had so much fun! Thanks to the inlaws for watching the boys!
July: My dance studio performed at the Stadium of Fire with Carrie Underwood
July-November: This summer I have taken up a new hobby.... Running! I wasn't happy with how my body was looking and I was frustrated from trying to have another baby without sucess. So I decided to do something to make me feel better. I started walking with a really good friend and then as time went by we started to run a little. For those who know me well you know that I love competition. So we decided to start challenging ourselves in doing a 5k. After doing three 5k's we decided to push ourselves a little more and do a 10K. After doing the 10K I saw that there was a 1/2 marathon in St.George on my birthday in Novemeber. I figured I wasnt getting any younger so why not?! My Friend and I trained ourselves for a few weeks and on my 32nd Birthday I ran My first 1/2 Marathon in 1 hour and 55 minutes!! It was such an accomplishment and it was fun to share it with my Mother and sister in laws, Rich and the boys and one of my Best buds Karen. The boys also ran a race 200M it was so cute! I was the most sore I have ever been in my whole life, it took a week to recover and I only lost 1 toe nail! I was so exhausted after running 13.1 miles as you can see by the pic.
August: Rich had his 34th Birthday while I was at a Dance Camp in Idaho. My Studio won best overall Team! What a supportive husband to let me go away over his birthday!
September: Our little sweet Graydin turned the big 3!!! He is so much fun and is a huge part of our family!
October: Rich's Work treated us to st. Petersburg Florida for 3 days! He won MR of the year for the 3rd year in a row! We had such a great time at the Awards banquet as well as a day in universal studios. I am so proud of Rich for all of his hard work and for all that he does for our family!
Also in October, We moved into our new house! We sold our home in September and moved into our newly built home 1 1/2 miles south. We love it. We got our new yard in right away along with shutters and thats about it. We are not decorators so it is taking a while to get stuff up on the wall!
We are now on our way into the holiday's which I always love. I really hope it wont take me another 11 months to update my blog. I do have to say that I feel very blessed with all I have and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful supportive husband and kids. I am also very blessed with great in-laws as well as my own family. I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends that encourage me to be great and push me when I want to give up!
My computer is having a hard time uploading pics so I will get more up as soon as possible!
