Race for the Cure 5k - SLC

I headed up to SLC early this morning with some

friends to walk the Komen 5k breast cancer race

Gorgeous day for me and my 14,000 bff's to wear pink and 

stroll the streets of Salt Lake City

Me, Stacy Douglas and Jennifer Yeo

Pink tutu's rock!

We walked for Stacy's two sister-in-laws

that have had breast cancer.

Spring at the Cabin

A little work... a little play.

I cut down over a hundred aspen saplings in the backyard.

Robert chopped out a huge root.

Greg worked on the weeds.

I obviously did most of the work.

slackers.

Look how gorgeous it looks - 

next we are going to move the propane tank so the

backyard will be more open.

Then it was time to play...

Moab with Braden

Shea is in Mexico and Robert has to work, so Braden and I flew down to Moab yesterday to do a little hiking.  Great fun!

Biking my 50 miles in Nevada

We spent two days down in Nevada during Robert's spring break.  It was in the high 90's and my out-of-shape fanny got a work out.

We stayed in Henderson and did this great loop by Lake Mead

and Lake Las Vegas.  We thought it was 30 miles, but much to 

out dismay, it turned out to be 35 miles.  The last 10 miles was 

so very, very hard.  Up hill and hot, hot, hot.

The trail head was at a casino, so we went in there to change before

heading over to Hoover Dam.  I sat down in a soft chair in the lobby

and truly wondered if I could ever get up again.

but I did.

 Hoover Dam was very cool.

actually it was hot there too, but you know what I mean.

 50 miles in Nevada!!

We did the last 15 miles the next morning in Mesquite. 

It was a very nice ride, except for the torture of sitting again on my bruised be-hind.

Bowling!

Spring break with Jaxson!!

Kayla, Tyson and Jaxson spent half of their spring break with us.  So much fun!!

Sunday walk.

I will always and forever be grateful for Lois and all that she gave to me throughout the years.  For 27 wonderful years I have been blessed with the most amazing mother-in-law and my children have had such a special grandmother.

She will be missed.
