Easter 2010

We spent Easter this year in St. George. We went to the Egg hunt at the park just down the street from my parents home then we came to my parents home and had a egg hunt of our own for the grandkids.

Hunting at the park

The Easter Bunny was their to pass out candy as well.

Friday night we went to my parents home and colored eggs with Julianna's kids and Will and Jamie's.

Evil look on her face.

her concentration scares me

We went to Sam and Lara's to color with them earlier on Friday.

Check out her hands?

The only time she was quiet.

SUU Safety Fair

The Girls were asked to perform at the Southern Utah University Safety Fair. Mckenna was asked to perform her solo routine and she was a little stressed because she hadn't practiced it in a while. She did well, and so did Ellyce.

Little miss light on her feet
OUCH!!!

Isn't she so cute?

Such a poser

OUCH again!

I would break in half if I tried this.

Here McKenna is doing her solo.

Look at the air she gets on this.

A final OUCH!

My neck would hurt for a week after this.

The Principal and the Pea

Ellyce was in her school play. She worked so hard to get in it and to learn her part. She was so cute and had a great time. It was called "the Principal and the pea". this is a picture of her and her mentor. It was so nice of her to come, I think it was more important that she come than Carolyn and I.

McKenna did her hair for her and it turned out so cute. Glory hallalooya (SP?) I didn't have to do it!

Spectrum 10K

Last Saturday was the Spectrum 10K. It was from Snow Canyon to Ivins park. Carolyn didn't get the camera turned on when I came across the finish line, so she had me run in front of my Parents home so that she could take a picture.

She also took a picture of me in front of the finish line. So lame. Anyway, the run was fun and I was able to do it in a 8:46 min. mile. I felt pretty good about that. I reduced my pace by 1 min. since January.

Mendy also ran the 10K. She did awesome! She has reduced her mile pace to just under 11 min. in January when we ran the half marathon her pace was a 14 min. mile.

Lake to Lake 50 mile team Relay.

Saturday, march 6th, Mendy and I got together a team to run the lake to lake 50 mile team relay. It was amazing. Our team consisted of Mendy, Myself, Tim Roberts (my neighbor), Kemille (From Salt Lake), Jaimie (Kemille's Friend from St. George). We started out at Gunlock resivoir and ran to Sand Hallow Resivoir.

This is the first hand of from Jaime to Tim. Two miles into Tim's run, his back froze up and he landed on the pavement. Lucky for us Kemille's cousin Sean had come and was able to fill in for Tim.

Here is kemille handing off to Sean.

Mendy did legs 5 and 6 consecutively. She did awesome!

Then it went to Jaime, He left after his run to go to a family baptism.

Then to Kemille for leg #8

I then did the last two legs. It was brutal! Up hill on dirt/sand roads and the wind was blowing sand directly at me.

Here we are at the end. what a fun / challenging run. Can't wait for next year.

Southern Utah Performing Arts festival

Last weekend we took the girls to St. George to perform at the Southern Utah Performing Arts Festival. They both performed with the team and were judged for thier dance. It was done to help them prepare for the upcoming competitions. Here is Ellyce with her class.

Then McKenna performed with her class. OUCH!!look at those splits.

McKenna was also asked to perform a solo. This is her first time performing it and she did so well. She scored an excellent. My Mom made her costume and it was so perfect for the song. She Danced to the song, "Head Strong".
