The 5k Race...

Okay, so after the race we were trying to all jump up in the air and sadly....this was the best one we had, notice how high up we all are! We all had soooo very much fun! The weather was perfect and we all did great. Us girls almost didn't make it up the mountain in time to start but luckily Bridget and Megan crushed on some guys who gave us a ride to the starting line. Janet ran it pregnant, I admire her so much!!! What to go chicka! You are my hero!

I'm the winner!!!??? After the race, Taylor and I were listening to my Ipod shuffle (step up) when all of the sudden everyone turned to look at me...I thought that maybe I was singing too loudly but then they said that I was the fastest female for 20-29 year olds. It was a small race, especially to win with my time...but I ran it in 22:20, I was excited. I had never won anything except for when I cheated that one time in a CC race:) I got a pair of socks for it and everything! Not bad for a girl coming from sea level to 7000 ft. Hee hee, listen to me brag!

My mom, chilled with all the crazies while we ran, Thank you Mom!!!

Ahh, the cute supporters! I love them!

Wyoming adventures...

Cold Lake Palisades by Grandma's house...Tay didn't mind!

Halle did, she was just fine with the pretty pink towel of Grandma's on the rocky beach.

Okay, this was taken in my parents back yard. We saw it back there and I wanted a picture and so my mom and I ran out and a made the best moose sound I could and then it turned and looked at me and I seriously felt chills roll down my spine....I didn't zoom in if that tells you anything. I was scared.

Cousins!!

Silly! We miss you guys!

Grandma Dustin filled this big tub with sand and put it on the back patio, the kids absolutely loved it!!

Ah, how Tay and Halle love Grandma Dustin! We had so much fun, Thank You for such a fun time!

The girls had so much fun getting reaquanted with all their cousins! Travie it was so fun getting to know your personality!

The trampoline was such a big hit, as it always is! We had such an awesome trip!

S'mores In WY with Grandma and Grandpa Dustin!

Travis, you are tooo cute little man!!

Evie!! We miss you!

We had the best time eating outside in the nice Mountain fresh air. We almost got all the little ones in the smore picture...Danny where are you? Camille, are you sleeping?

Tay is not a huge chocolate fan, I dont even think she ate much of this one but I am pretty sure I finished it up for her.

Halle weeze, the true sweet tooth....so cute, what else says summer!!

Yeah! Summertime

This was at the Indianapolis Zoo at the new splash park...We couldn't get enough of the water.

Mmm, is there anything better than a hot summer day at the zoo and yummy PB &J in the shade?

Need I say more?

1, 2, 3 JUMP! Thank goodness for Daddys....they are so very good at being kids!!!

Oh, Halle Weeze, too cute and too fun, she totally came out of her little shell this summer, we all had the best summer of our lives!

Summer Work!

Sweet summertime, its a perfect time to make some sweet moolah (is that how you spell it Kip?) Tay and Halle had a ton of fun having a cookie and lemonade stand at our Garage sale, I think they made more money than I did. Thanks Emy for letting us use your house to host the Garage sale, what a hot, sticky day that was! And so fun...Miss you!

Halle, doing some chores around the house...is that a fake smile? I cant tell.

Crazy Tay! Water monkey, Kids are awesome, give them a sink with water and soap and dirty dishes and they will be happy forever! Until they grow up and then I hear that they dont like chores so much!

Hard at work! If mom doesn't work, somebody has to...right Tay!!

A few highlights from this summer

Swim lessons!!We had so much fun at the Y pool this summer. Sweet Tay! She completely learned to swim this summer and loved every second of it! It was her all time favorite activity all summer!

Halle did awesome and loved the water, her confidence grew so much and we saw a ton of improvement. Cute silly Halle! Her favorite part was swimming after the duckies, of course.

Two cute bathing beauties! Sweet!!

Summer storms! This was a picture we took from our back yard of a storm moving in, Blue skies on one side and black on the other. We were totally waiting for the wicked witch of the west to go flying by on her broom.....even though we know Elphaba really isnt like that!

We finally retired our old Teal Honda and sold it for 150.00 to a good highschool student we know....Greg loves his new used Honda Accord Hybrid and used it all summer to commute to Richmond...150 miles per day..pretty, pretty gas prices!

Taylor turns 5!

We had so much fun with our friends that came to Tay's Birthday Party!

So pretty! All the little girls had pedicures and facials and got all dressed up and danced to Hannah Montana. It was so fun!

Taylor getsto share her birthday party with her Grandma Ingram because their birthdays are just a day apart...Happy Birthday to both of you!!

We had a Cupcake Icecream cake, it was perfect for that hot day!

How did this happen so fast!? This is the dress that Taylor picked out from the money from Grandma and Grandpa Dustin gave her for her Birthday! Thank you!!

We are alive!

Hello, we have finally surfaced...Our move to Richmond has been great and each day we find out something new about our town that make it feel more and more like home. For those of you who were worried...we have signed on at a local gym called the Health Connection and they even let me run outside while Halle is in the childcare. There is this awesome place called the Hayes Arboretium and it is just trails and trails that wind through pretty trees and hills behind this local gym....perfect! Except for the fact that it is closed to the public November through February because they let hunters in....So I think, Im not sure,that I will have to find another place to run for the next few months, being that I am not so sly at dodging bullets and I look awful in those orange vests..although that could be an option! Oh, and by the way, Who needs Target!!!?? I dont! They have this amazing place called Wal-Mart here and it is fancy, let me tell you! It has everything I need! (Im sorry Target, I had to say it, I promise I will come and visit you whenever I get the chance.) Anyway, I have a ton of pictures to get to, I think I will just do a summary for you of our summer, and fall-SAD!

Im a loser Blogger I know!!

Ok, so we all have noticed that I kind of havent been blogging lately, its because Im lame! But this too shall pass, the lameness I mean. We are moving this weekend to Richmond, IN so that we can see Greg a couple more hours a day and because we want to see if Stephanie will snap without a target or YMCA!?
So with this move, I Stephanie do hereby pledge to be a better blogger because I really do have much to blog about and because I will be left a lone woman in the wilderness (well not wilderness because that would mean that I were in the mountains or something and that would be my happy place) and will need desperatly to communicate with all of my dear friends and family and because if any of you ever stopped blogging and updating me on your lives I would be mad as.....I would be livid. Grr, moving is so hard!

Ps. I really have made peace with Richmond, and Indiana, and (gulp) not living by mountains for the rest of my existence. Can you tell?!!! Hee hee
