End of Year Recital

We just had our end of year recital a few weeks ago. The girls did really well. As you can tell they loved the flowers at the end, well at least Ellce did. It was held at Cedar High School this year.

here is McKenna with her flowers at the end.
Mckenna is so good at her splits, she hopes to be able to move up to the performance team #2 this fall.

Ellyce has so much fun when it comes to performing. She really is a ham.

This is my favorite costume that McKenna had this year.

This was McKenna's hip hop routine. I think she really loved it.

McKenna started the night with her Solo routine. She forgot her gloves and her leg warmers. She did really well though.

We Ran the "Hell Hole"

Saturday we went to Wasington to run the "Hell Hole" as they call it. It was named correctly. It started across the intersection of Washington Parkway and Telegraph road. Carolyn and Kimball and Abby ran/walked the 5k and Mendy and I ran the 10k. Carolyn took 2nd in her catagory and Mendy took 1st in hers. Abby took 2nd in hers and I took 1st in the costume competition.

Here is Kimball, my Nephew, this was his first race. I was a little worried that he wouldn't like it, but he did. we are all going to do the upcomming midnight run in as couple of weeks.

Weekend at Provo

This past weekend we went to Provo to attend a dance competition. Friday night McKenna competed in a solo competition and she did very well. She placed as First attendant. She missed Queen by half a point. There were three judges and two of them ranked her Queen, but the third judge ranked her as first attendant. the points were totaled and she came in as first attendant. She is our queen, and she danced amazing. Saturday morning I found the Provo city half marathon to run in, so at 8:00 I was running to Utah Lake and back to center street and University Ave. It was raining and snowing and hailing and sleeting on me the whole run, but I beat my personal record by 7 min. according to me Garmin. I finished in one hour 55 minutes. I was thrilled. Saturday afternoon we went back to Provo Hight so that the girls could compete with their classes. McKenna's class took to first place and one third. Ellyce's class took two second place rankings.

Hurrican Half Marathon

My sister Michele took pictures of this race because my girls were in paraowan.

This past Saturday I went to Hurricane and ran their half marathon. It was great! I finished in 2 hours 2 minutes. My neighbor and I were trying to beat the 2 hour mark, but just barely missed it. It didn't help that the course was .15 of a mile too long. Either way I was able to set a personal record, so I shouldn't complain. The girls and Carolyn were at Parowan at a dance competition, so there are no pictures. Michelle and her boys were there and they took pictures and i will post them when I get them. Mendy also ran the half and she also set a personal record of 2 hour 47 minutes. what a fun run. There was a killer hill at mile marker 5 to 6, but we survived. pictures to come later.
