First Day of School and I love to see the Temple

Yesterday was our first day of school.  We were running a little late so the kids really didn't want me to take a picture but nevertheless I got a quick pictures.  I can't believe I have three going for a full day.  I love that they are all at the same school, it makes it so nice and Traeden is a big help to get them together after school.  
 In front of our school, Thomas Edison Charter School.
 This is our family plus our neighbor at the Brigham City Temple Open House.  Our primary took all the kids.  We had over 200 people from the ward there yesterday.  It was a beautiful temple and it was neat to answer many questions my oldest had about the temple.
Here is the whole primary group minus the parents and teachers at the front of the temple.  If you don't have tickets or can't get them they do not turn anyone away.  You can get tickets here.  Or you can just go, they have parking at the old Kmart parking lot on Main Street (next to Burger King).  They shuttle you over in a bus and bring you back.  I believe the hours are 7:30 am - 8:00 pm.

Epic 2012

 Morgan with her Gallon Jug of Water!  This was her first relay and she did fantastic!

 We are in Niter, ID.  This was my second leg.

 Morgan stretching out and getting ready to run
 Some of the team, MRSA (Medics Running somewhere anywhere)  A few of us were not medics but they still claimed us.
 Vehicle 1 Rocks!  Just got showered and got a bite to eat after our 3 legs and we are feeling good
The whole team at the finish line in Jackson, WY

This race started in Smithfield, UT and ended in Jackson WY.  It was about 200 miles.  We had 12 team members although we had one runner who could only do one of her legs so she could be with her Grandmother who was recently in a car accident.  So we took turns running between 3-8 miles at a time.  This race only had about 90 teams which was so nice because it wasn't crowded.  The race was well put together and it sure felt good to accomplish this with an amazing group of people.  Races for me help me have a goal to reach for and keeps me motivated to keep in shape and continue my exercise goals.  It's a lot of fun too!   Just for the record it took us 33 hours 12 minutes and 21 secs to run this course.  We came in at 25th of 51 teams in our division  and 41 out of 87 teams overall.
