A great day for a race!

Our neighbor took these two AWESOME pictures...cameras really do make a difference!


The kids are very dedicated to cheering their sisters on for the 3 hour meets...(As long as they have friends to help keep them entertained.) The wonderful thing about today was that it was WARM and SUNNY! Sit out in the sun for 3 hours? NO PROBLEM!




Lehi was ON FIRE today! They seriously dominated the other team! Jac and Kenzie were the only Lehi runners in the 800 and they had a HUGE lead on the other girls. They were so close we thought they would start holding hands as they crossed the finish line! Kenzie won by .14th of a second. The end result was that they both came in at 2:54, beating their time from last week by almost 10 seconds!


Jac came in 1st place in the 1600 for the 7th grade, improving her time by 2 seconds! She led the pack for the first 3 laps; until an 8th grader was finally able to pass her on the last stretch coming in 1st overall just by 3 seconds.


It is so fun to watch her run...I guess she got it from her dad because I am no speedster! She got her LOVE for running from me though:)


Stay tuned for Thursdays meet...Emily and Thomas are SOO excited!

Jac is made up of the best of both her mom and dad, and that makes for a pretty fabulous girl, I'm sure she got most of her techniques from her grandma, in the running dept. It was soooo fun to watch. AWESOME

I want to go for a run with you!!! Of course it would be your "take a break day"!! You ALWAYS look like you are having soooo much fun with your friends. What great memories you will have.

p.s. don't you dare let your mom pretend she is slow!!! WHEN she is not INJURED, it's embarrassing how she kicks my butoosca. Really embarassing.

That was fun again! Rylie and Camrie have been counting down the days until the next track meet so they can play with Emily. Mason even wants to go so he can see Thomas.

Demanding friend here that is going to ask for some of your pictures. The ones you have of the relay team are so much better than mine. Will you send them to me? And the picture of Mason and Thomas with the muscles? And of course any other pictures you think I might like. :) Make this rain stop and I'll see you at the meet...
