Salt Lake City 1/2

It was such a nice day on Saturday to go for a run! I really liked the corse- it felt like I was in a parade the whole time, so many supporters along the way it was amazing. The race supports the Huntsman Cancer Institute. There were 10,000 runners and some had lost family members, others had cancer survivors, and (like me) some just wanted to run. I saw a cute little boy in a wheelchair holding up a sign that read, "THANK YOU!" It was emotional.
At mile 11 I was EXHAUSTED! I couldn't make my legs move any more so I told Brooke to go on ahead. I walked for a minute and then my "Eye of the Tiger" motivational song came on and it gave me a jolt to get a MOVIN! I was having many conversations with myself along the way (crazy?) and one was- "This is really hard. Maybe I should just walk the rest of the way. Why is this so hard? Duh Britt! It's not supposed to be easy- it IS hard. But it's hard for everyone else here too! Run!! So I did, when a girl with one leg passed me as I was walking, and I was like "Buck up! She has one leg"! So I ran the rest of the way with a little more speed than I started with and frantically searched for my family at the end, and they were there of coarse with big smiles cheering me on! That was awesome.
My sister Brooke ran with me and she did AMAZING! It was so fun to share this experience with her. And my cute family who babysits/supports, thank you SO MUCH!

Easter Sunday

This was a General Conference Message, but my friend Camille playing it in YW on Sunday. I loved it so much and wanted to share it with those of you hadn't seen it. I know I am NOT alone, and I will strive to be a better example "at all times, and in all things , and in all places." I feel very blessed, I love Jesus Christ SO much for the example and life he gave for us. I am so happy to know we will be with those we have lost and those we hold dear now. I am grateful for Easter and the teaching moments it allows me with my kids.

We had a crazy weekend, here are my kids looking rather lovely in their Easter dressy clothes:

Bragging Rights

Kasidee had her first drama debut on Tuesday in a play called "Keelboat Annie" and she played the roll of Annie. I was so proud of her, she memorized all of her parts, which was a lot, playing the leading role and all. And then yesterday she recieved a Star Student Award for having exceptional handwriting and being a very detailed artist. It was a proud mom week :)

I guess when you think "Annie" you think red. So she wore a red wig.


Here she is with the principal recieving her award.




Dillon is still LOVING Karate. He gives me the thumbs up after every move/kick/chop he does. I am definently his #1 fan!
