Snow Canyon Half Marathon (my one year anniversary run)

This was my one year anniversary run. My first race a year ago was the Snow Canyon Half marathon, so I had to run it again this year. Over the past year of running I have completed six half marathon's and two full marathon's. One 50 mile relay and two ragnar relay's and the red rock relay. I also have run several 10k's and several 5k's. It has been a very rewarding year. I could not have done this with out the love and support of Carolyn and the girl's. I know it has not been easy for them to share me with running. Anyway, here are some pictures of the Snow Canyon Half this year. This is the finish line.
Here I come in, didn't think it would ever happen. I really struggeled this with the second half.



Glory hal-la-ula! the finsh line.



Here is Mendy.



Kamille Garvin came down to run this too. It was her first Half Marathon. I finished in one hour 54 min. Not great, but close to me best time.









Halloween 2010

This year Halloween was on Sunday, so we celebrated it on Saturday. Mckenna went as a Clown. Grandma Stucki made her costume. Ellyce went as a fairy. So Saturday afternoon we started getting ready. I painted thier faces and then we were off to the Trunk or Treat at the Stake Center.

While we were painting faces, Lynette and her kids came by.
Back to painting the face. McKenna's mouth kept getting bigger and bigger, because she was moving to see what was going on. Not that her mouth isn't big already. :)

McKenna and her MOM





Ellyce with her MOM too.






Then off to Grandpa Bess's. Mendy and Abby joined us as they were on thier way home from the Provo Halloween half marathon that Mendy ran.

Then we went out to ConRoy's to see him. Then we went to a few other places and then home.















Carving Pumpkin's

For Family night one night before Halloween we carved pumpkin's. We invited grandpa up and the girls dove in to the pumkin's. they did a great job as you can see.
Ellyce was so proud of hers.

So was McKenna


We love Grandpa

Grandpa and McKenna











look at that concentration!






OOOH, this is gross dad.








"Dad, will you carve it for me if I draw it on?"







Daggers from Ellyce to McKenna. I don't know what for, probably telling Mckenna not to mother her.












Las Vegas Ragnar 2010

One week before the Las Vegas Ragnar I got a call from Shon Spevak inviting me to come join thier team for the Ragnar. I was thrilled to do it. So I figured out how I could do it. It was amazing. We had a great team! Part of us were the same as the Wasatch Back team. So I loaded up and we headed to Valley of Fire to the starting line.
