I am getting really excited to do this so here it goes. So now we are in 2013. It has been a crazy year with alot of fun and busy things going on. It seems that the year has gone fast and has been a fun year. My siblings and I are out of school. As all of you know, I graduated from high school. It was very sad for me because I will not be able to go to school and I love school! But it was nice to graduate from high school. Right before graduation I got my braces off. It was the day when I had graduation practice. I was so happy that I got my braces off and now I am enjoying it. Now on to Travis - Travis is going to be a 12 grader. Crazy right? He is looking for a job and hope that he finds one. He is now 17 years old and he is a good brother to me, also to Courtney. Courtney is going to high school for the first time. She went to girls camp as a 3rd year and said she had a good time up at camp. Finally on to Jared. Jared is going to be a fifth grader next school year. I think he will have fun being a fifth grader. He loves to play pretend school being a PE teacher and enjoying every minute of it. Now that was the update on me and my siblings. now it is time for my parents. My mom had a brithday this month. It was a good birthday. We ended up celebrating on Monday because Courtney was going to Girls Camp the next day which was on my mom's brithday. My mom is doing good and she is a good mom to be with. My dad is doing good. He has been working hard at his job and he has been a busy man but has time for his family. Hope to see you guys soon- Ashley Richards<br />

He has been wanting to have a party where they get to make their own pizzas. The thought of having 10 kids make pizzas in our kitchen didn't sound like much fun to me. My aunt told me that my cousin had a party at a pizza place where the kids made their own pizzas. It sounded just perfect!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0uPcM5FTlzNdFp7xdJ0JDs7vbPO48qtUOQAJtpcb9mrkhXTk-OMfLIYqjNTUA4oUqgmAZHw1fFSQhx5AJvSX-2v8nsfQhzgqlIDrsBlUH3kcXEit9gvrsiTatQVdVRxJgjPujlhWfeDCB/s1600/100_2589.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572945653444998354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0uPcM5FTlzNdFp7xdJ0JDs7vbPO48qtUOQAJtpcb9mrkhXTk-OMfLIYqjNTUA4oUqgmAZHw1fFSQhx5AJvSX-2v8nsfQhzgqlIDrsBlUH3kcXEit9gvrsiTatQVdVRxJgjPujlhWfeDCB/s320/100_2589.JPG" /></a>Here is Jared carefully placing his cheese on his pizza<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCASxNqEcOu4JNOJo9npS1fgNekcVZC3DnsB0mfIq5BoCfVE-dkNKSya-Oz3L7rXFei87tpoamBTeUq5oBhudLL2X5CRBPIof4Fc-jeIUcGmvAZu-0tBHs3QkC4k5GgqET8z8vvJbm7CqX/s1600/100_2590.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572945572218859362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCASxNqEcOu4JNOJo9npS1fgNekcVZC3DnsB0mfIq5BoCfVE-dkNKSya-Oz3L7rXFei87tpoamBTeUq5oBhudLL2X5CRBPIof4Fc-jeIUcGmvAZu-0tBHs3QkC4k5GgqET8z8vvJbm7CqX/s320/100_2590.JPG" /></a>The whole gang busy at work<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZhIL1s96qqh5iwhYKh3MOjV3kS7rp3shDI-F0qq7zxBMW3IOTYDl_8HGO5BJmAqnyy19JcfA-nmopAiG7hGmoCpjuk3QGFOuQWyN6isI_dLpb3D6rio74mS0S9fnAUPdrcuK_TDP3A05c/s1600/100_2594.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572945389172682866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZhIL1s96qqh5iwhYKh3MOjV3kS7rp3shDI-F0qq7zxBMW3IOTYDl_8HGO5BJmAqnyy19JcfA-nmopAiG7hGmoCpjuk3QGFOuQWyN6isI_dLpb3D6rio74mS0S9fnAUPdrcuK_TDP3A05c/s320/100_2594.JPG" /></a>Jared's finished product<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxRn_dKghgztGNzOSgLQIEK2g9brOy6vQqvMD4G3V8GucVZZbz4p11mxJ2uLh19EaoDrfBCE1cYW4pFxgWJMeGDcGvSmMylospYI2y20W3tKkj3iqwuctcWwk4EIlP1xwkecYMCQKp_cxJ/s1600/DSC09929.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572945194455700514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxRn_dKghgztGNzOSgLQIEK2g9brOy6vQqvMD4G3V8GucVZZbz4p11mxJ2uLh19EaoDrfBCE1cYW4pFxgWJMeGDcGvSmMylospYI2y20W3tKkj3iqwuctcWwk4EIlP1xwkecYMCQKp_cxJ/s320/DSC09929.JPG" /></a> Everyone enjoying their cake and ice cream <div></div></div></div><br /></div>Sylviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18043000885099234534noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6452995526823059675.post-50390675655212282492011-02-04T13:10:00.001-08:002011-02-04T13:43:34.508-08:00Courtney's 12th BirthdayIt's hard to believe that our little girl is now 12! It just seems like a year or two ago when she was born. Where does the time go? She is so happy and lets me know daily that she is no longer a little girl. She is excited to be in Young Women's at church and be with the older girls. It is fun to see the transition.<br /><br />We had our typical pizza dinner with strawberry cake and rainbow sherbet ice cream. She was so excited to get the Wheel of Fortune wii game. She LOVES Wheel of Fortune!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjNsAadrajbF4MIWtxqtYUlacRE_ykpnV-SociSImFzm-V0Hr_dB2uXNGPB-J8mM6p1f7L6GSTcNfZC91nUw5Q4L6soU2kboLRHBsYrrJ7TOkc_6vygOuKwgXmW6Gr9xo1JyFTPoH_6tH2/s1600/DSC09839.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569945145117930450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjNsAadrajbF4MIWtxqtYUlacRE_ykpnV-SociSImFzm-V0Hr_dB2uXNGPB-J8mM6p1f7L6GSTcNfZC91nUw5Q4L6soU2kboLRHBsYrrJ7TOkc_6vygOuKwgXmW6Gr9xo1JyFTPoH_6tH2/s320/DSC09839.jpg" /></a><br />12 things about Courtney<br /><br />1 - She loves to laugh!<br />2 - She is very structured.

On the 17th we met up with our friends and went to the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Concert with David Archuletta. It was so much better than I expected it to be. I loved it but not near as much as Ashley did. She is a true David Achuletta fan! Thanks to the Mortensen's for getting us tickets again. And thanks to my brother-in-law and sister for watching Courtney and Jared. They had a great time at your house!<br /><br />On the 18th, Randy's brother and sister-in-law planned a Richards Christmas part in their clubhouse. It was alot of fun. Jared got to play out in the snow, which was the one thing he wanted to do while we were in Utah.<br /><br />After we were all full from all the great food, all the kids put on the nativity play. Jared loved being Joseph with Libby playing Mary.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpUVBF7x0tKywMYq8ba3kv9M7PEg-DC9h-R4odRA63hvBo1GoyY2Sy4VAQi-J_ZOyQtNi1vO1nP-_vdNRWXZUGuZuUIe4yiyaZY9xlaSbL1r8CFe-v8fr9tMpeJpnsXVL1uw5q7tqNbHMs/s1600/DSC09593.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557331818141241586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpUVBF7x0tKywMYq8ba3kv9M7PEg-DC9h-R4odRA63hvBo1GoyY2Sy4VAQi-J_ZOyQtNi1vO1nP-_vdNRWXZUGuZuUIe4yiyaZY9xlaSbL1r8CFe-v8fr9tMpeJpnsXVL1uw5q7tqNbHMs/s320/DSC09593.jpg" /></a> Jared & Libby<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheeGUFFqV0I3DqiY_mVcwfIVQewsJ84sL6xwtcdr5Gq5JTax31ffFhWJ8-YniwetMGfUnCOTyQ45kMpKWfXbMLIjAE6WYcBBgcdK5NTwgLtF4VST6iQghz4IoaPKcrVUbQprDZLixo2haB/s1600/DSC09596.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557331702532492210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheeGUFFqV0I3DqiY_mVcwfIVQewsJ84sL6xwtcdr5Gq5JTax31ffFhWJ8-YniwetMGfUnCOTyQ45kMpKWfXbMLIjAE6WYcBBgcdK5NTwgLtF4VST6iQghz4IoaPKcrVUbQprDZLixo2haB/s320/DSC09596.jpg" /></a>Joseph leading his donkey, Nick, with Mary on his back all the way to Bethlehem.

We decided to wake up early and drive down to Disneyland for the day. The kids have been asking when we would get to use our free "Give A Day - Get A Day tickets. They were so EXCITED when we told them we were actually going. We had a good time being together. Ashley and Travis were pretty good sports doing alot of what Courtney and Jared wanted to do. A few times Randy took Travis on some of the fun rides for a 13 year year while the rest of us did Dumbo and other rides more enjoyable for the younger kids. All in all it was a fun day to be together.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiibxNi2c7hJnCGM3p6oVz1ZmuX0-kOdgU0KKX6NPnwSSgzKrwgSjoTU322QNebhIRFeiL0eVBMiksoRyrZCUb0vxKd77UMJKjvZWn5z4VoVQF2DFPV_blX-bD2fM4MzE0ww4Ml0jLli3yI/s1600/100_1834.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465642089691476770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiibxNi2c7hJnCGM3p6oVz1ZmuX0-kOdgU0KKX6NPnwSSgzKrwgSjoTU322QNebhIRFeiL0eVBMiksoRyrZCUb0vxKd77UMJKjvZWn5z4VoVQF2DFPV_blX-bD2fM4MzE0ww4Ml0jLli3yI/s320/100_1834.JPG" /></a> Courtney, Jared and Randy riding the tram to get to Disneyland</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeMm2sPgKZrj9B3keFbxzCgefJSK1FExyTTNn89uM6YFntYBoTtzcDFGrDWohFEqsCO8mViayfcBlZYVO577nAhQH2kH0l8YCo3i7rIbYruQz9zbPyGXg_WwNk7h7qWVdIc32LXJJAfrXt/s1600/100_1836.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465641996197716418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeMm2sPgKZrj9B3keFbxzCgefJSK1FExyTTNn89uM6YFntYBoTtzcDFGrDWohFEqsCO8mViayfcBlZYVO577nAhQH2kH0l8YCo3i7rIbYruQz9zbPyGXg_WwNk7h7qWVdIc32LXJJAfrXt/s320/100_1836.JPG" /></a> Travis and Ashley<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5OCzSzPkzVeZ6Fvfvv4rMdpFnpmQwAq4GGo9M2_1RFIl6WL-sqiJsTgGPylRXOyF3fiblUhT98iaVjeWQPOYE5Lg9yjukSq98gRbVimGJzgyyQtqa4nPJFUXkUxOYsGT3T0aCodNDiB_Y/s1600/DSC00195.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 252px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465641901735863282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5OCzSzPkzVeZ6Fvfvv4rMdpFnpmQwAq4GGo9M2_1RFIl6WL-sqiJsTgGPylRXOyF3fiblUhT98iaVjeWQPOYE5Lg9yjukSq98gRbVimGJzgyyQtqa4nPJFUXkUxOYsGT3T0aCodNDiB_Y/s320/DSC00195.JPG" /></a>Courtney and Jared<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1lWlEzzMRIjfmdNcwYXZqSK7kTRwdA7KGPxWe5EJW1zSEdhCSyHn3m2_RsKeiYr_kGgG2x09ZoR1zhYU38rNO-aGuCw7w-Tj_1e_VPfudrhtOk53ibl5W5jf0od56zD2dJT4h2zXpaxyz/s1600/DSC00196.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 306px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465641664734613410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1lWlEzzMRIjfmdNcwYXZqSK7kTRwdA7KGPxWe5EJW1zSEdhCSyHn3m2_RsKeiYr_kGgG2x09ZoR1zhYU38rNO-aGuCw7w-Tj_1e_VPfudrhtOk53ibl5W5jf0od56zD2dJT4h2zXpaxyz/s320/DSC00196.JPG" /></a>Enjoying the Teacups<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYk157jAdjVziWZ8EZ3b8KqYLGBJII4eOi3uFVvW3aFp3VmegW-kYnjw4n1i4Qn1UsyNyjzPRY96Gg7zs4LWfeOL3syYcP7sTz4ta92lmcJF_Zahv56L06E0QD5fABl9O2gab9x0frAQAU/s1600/DSC00214.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 227px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465641533930023570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYk157jAdjVziWZ8EZ3b8KqYLGBJII4eOi3uFVvW3aFp3VmegW-kYnjw4n1i4Qn1UsyNyjzPRY96Gg7zs4LWfeOL3syYcP7sTz4ta92lmcJF_Zahv56L06E0QD5fABl9O2gab9x0frAQAU/s320/DSC00214.JPG" /></a>As we were leaving Disneyland after a long, fun day<br /><br /></div><div align="left">On March 27th was the Opening Ceremonies for baseball.

I know that I am WAY behind in my blogging but I thought I better catch up on February and March because Ashley is all over me to blog her birthday. I just can't skip over the two months and blog April so first here is February in a nutshell.</div><br />We made a quick trip up to Utah for our nieces' wedding on February 12th. There was still some snow on the ground, which the kids loved, but the weather was great for traveling. Casey and Nick were sealed in the Bountiful Temple. It was such a great sealing. We were very happy we were able to go. They make such a cute couple.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdR6a7kjSaKJsF07RB1tmYPZyEtkqDe0NJH0bHr0M9EI-_MQYQGI-Hf62644q-GqucUi9mqVOSWrR0EKSl8M4NikRb_EyFyyEen2fx7ZcKK2hUgusxM6O0yxlDP1wiLCYJLj8SbG7FAHVG/s1600/DSC07675.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 221px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464928858336325938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdR6a7kjSaKJsF07RB1tmYPZyEtkqDe0NJH0bHr0M9EI-_MQYQGI-Hf62644q-GqucUi9mqVOSWrR0EKSl8M4NikRb_EyFyyEen2fx7ZcKK2hUgusxM6O0yxlDP1wiLCYJLj8SbG7FAHVG/s320/DSC07675.JPG" /></a> Nick and Casey coming out of the temple </div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidslXYdDUhyphenhyphenf7X_eZZkHTb9EGzF0j5OeGcQnt-PLVrlu-HdooqtFIyxtAJM4W10Pm8Y_r1tlBgzStmE6sVsFRUJl1RtB5wrixFPm9P_jZeNz25HU47C3hlW_88lQFKitogwK2_RaTg7Tpx/s1600/100_1736.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 275px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464928774522236754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidslXYdDUhyphenhyphenf7X_eZZkHTb9EGzF0j5OeGcQnt-PLVrlu-HdooqtFIyxtAJM4W10Pm8Y_r1tlBgzStmE6sVsFRUJl1RtB5wrixFPm9P_jZeNz25HU47C3hlW_88lQFKitogwK2_RaTg7Tpx/s320/100_1736.JPG" /></a> Casey with all the girl cousins<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdro36QshhUaMobOdjoCg1hvraJZmrHHIVrgR5JuDTPZO5jhWRQ2CzfvG10QPzC0aQaFoAgtUaBcZO1JfN04qnOfmQCWVgC2E7lN9GQ5SEKeLPiLe7C6egmUWfFpB09TCmpeZzK6_BMfEl/s1600/100_1737.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 312px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464928706493588898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdro36QshhUaMobOdjoCg1hvraJZmrHHIVrgR5JuDTPZO5jhWRQ2CzfvG10QPzC0aQaFoAgtUaBcZO1JfN04qnOfmQCWVgC2E7lN9GQ5SEKeLPiLe7C6egmUWfFpB09TCmpeZzK6_BMfEl/s320/100_1737.JPG" /></a>Casey with the boy cousins<br /><br /></div><div align="left">After the wedding reception we drove up to stay with my dad.

Ashley reminds me of that weekly, if not daily. I told myself I would do better come January. I even got a small camera for Christmas to help me take more pictures so I would have something to blog. The camera isn't very good but I now realize that isn't the true problem. I am just lazy about getting on and posting something. So, sorry for the LONG post. I am going to do a quick catch up here and hopefully do better in February.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij9Y41wxXPR1pL5rzjn2qYUq22HAYpTJB1UiMvcaEEi2N7vF1rhg6uQqCxoyF4AAB2OSFMtWFj_6irlEzgyHroI8MNgUeJevQzAlb4UNR9i5-uwA4c9NJCZV7tAbLFCFSMyCh84Dmo79-Y/s1600-h/DSC00005.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 301px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433751896041023026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij9Y41wxXPR1pL5rzjn2qYUq22HAYpTJB1UiMvcaEEi2N7vF1rhg6uQqCxoyF4AAB2OSFMtWFj_6irlEzgyHroI8MNgUeJevQzAlb4UNR9i5-uwA4c9NJCZV7tAbLFCFSMyCh84Dmo79-Y/s320/DSC00005.JPG" /></a> Travis won a free deli tray in a raffle when he participated in the Northern Exposure 10K run<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglrB56PCxWbsoGYuQ57TKRUwFoUDr0KqjeMoGr_ysFrx3LcP3btCOhWXyNNMryL9etOTgIDa8TMm9CMVzffYxbd83uwDR2fekYV5OrUBX3gQuRIFHusdOGJ8lkPigsa7dZ9p6Q2vD-rHlR/s1600-h/DSC00011.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 277px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433751821053635298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglrB56PCxWbsoGYuQ57TKRUwFoUDr0KqjeMoGr_ysFrx3LcP3btCOhWXyNNMryL9etOTgIDa8TMm9CMVzffYxbd83uwDR2fekYV5OrUBX3gQuRIFHusdOGJ8lkPigsa7dZ9p6Q2vD-rHlR/s320/DSC00011.JPG" /></a> Here he is with the yummy prize.

Randy has run the 10K the last few years and Travis ran the 2 mile run last year. Well, this year Jared wanted to get involved and Travis wanted to try the 10K. Since we couldn't let Jared run on his own, Randy decided to do the 2 mile run with him, while Travis attempted the 10K. I was a little nervous for them since neither one had run very much to get ready for this event. The race started at 7:30am, so we headed down there about 6:50am to get parked and situated. At 7:20 Travis went down to the starting line to get ready for the big run. There was some problems along the course so they ended up waiting down there until 8:15 when the race finally started. I felt bad for all the runners just standing there waiting. The 2 mile run started on time at 8:00. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ9aolC0-mZxCN6ysd4UnNjuHKX-rV1_3m0wfz4BblPBmdbyXBRISeMEPWozpEyfWTnl4bVEdLsbm9Don_qNHbcHnRteEySx_FIZPX-iI4PLA5tU9zO0S6_OTkVZdUJCEv2HxQ8cAfuyBB/s1600/100_1662.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 189px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404562161447569522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ9aolC0-mZxCN6ysd4UnNjuHKX-rV1_3m0wfz4BblPBmdbyXBRISeMEPWozpEyfWTnl4bVEdLsbm9Don_qNHbcHnRteEySx_FIZPX-iI4PLA5tU9zO0S6_OTkVZdUJCEv2HxQ8cAfuyBB/s320/100_1662.JPG" /></a> Here is Travis waiting for the 10K to begin<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_i0tfDKiUPkfNXJn7hJAUFg2SOs5qS3njeLF6X_Dye8QWlsvoueJKepKXXB6USJOULGulZBeX47w6HEhJ-0OnlE8881oyz7NT8FNQsreaLQ0qxoSR6kDEBfH7oP5V-BwxVytsIbVeq_fE/s1600/100_1663.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404562099574542706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_i0tfDKiUPkfNXJn7hJAUFg2SOs5qS3njeLF6X_Dye8QWlsvoueJKepKXXB6USJOULGulZBeX47w6HEhJ-0OnlE8881oyz7NT8FNQsreaLQ0qxoSR6kDEBfH7oP5V-BwxVytsIbVeq_fE/s320/100_1663.JPG" /></a> Jared and Randy before their 2 mile run<br /><br /><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn3nAJgx1J7ELNZRidB-9W-K3aSNZGZeWoQ1tgrH5-N8q4UkXsGkuQ-8ft7rzZc3ecQS9pv46OchLfnuDAO6wT8WAS0WZ7Z154dsYGgpCE4E1Thnm6inlNcroeFKkfsHUTNxTfgLvFsj9w/s1600/100_1664.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 247px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404561990168554354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn3nAJgx1J7ELNZRidB-9W-K3aSNZGZeWoQ1tgrH5-N8q4UkXsGkuQ-8ft7rzZc3ecQS9pv46OchLfnuDAO6wT8WAS0WZ7Z154dsYGgpCE4E1Thnm6inlNcroeFKkfsHUTNxTfgLvFsj9w/s320/100_1664.JPG" /></a> Here is Randy and Jared running in after their 2 mile run.

We thought best case senario he would take about 1 hour 15 minutes. But since he has never ran that distance I thought it would be closer to 1 1/2 hours if not longer. Travis surprised us when he came in at 1 hour 5 minutes. The timer in the upper right corner has it at 1:05:47 right before he crossed the finish line. He said he ran the ENTIRE way. He did such a great job. He wants to run again next year and try to break an hour.<br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNGoqbiNAEgYgLVJo7G4p1GdPVlQeu6c3eL1FS2mZD01uDM5DqsM8XZXkj0Nw2rxVEowNb_uw-d1lJKNZgdH8_tx7Bf0mnBgyNTiaErfIF36fIcalChoJW0HqfPEfpBTAcTQszW3a33go/s1600/100_1667.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 261px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404561724154999058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivNGoqbiNAEgYgLVJo7G4p1GdPVlQeu6c3eL1FS2mZD01uDM5DqsM8XZXkj0Nw2rxVEowNb_uw-d1lJKNZgdH8_tx7Bf0mnBgyNTiaErfIF36fIcalChoJW0HqfPEfpBTAcTQszW3a33go/s320/100_1667.JPG" /></a> Travis, Jared and Randy after the race</div></div></div><br /></div>Sylviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18043000885099234534noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6452995526823059675.post-92110480236071198842009-08-07T14:15:00.000-07:002009-08-07T14:26:04.417-07:00Moving on Up CeremonyToday was finally our last day of school for Courtney and Jared.

Ashley lets me know everyday that I have been a lazy blogger. I kept thinking I needed to catch up, but I have decided to just start current. Since we just got back from our vacation, it is a good place to start.<br /><br />We left early Saturday morning, June 27<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span>, to head out to Northern California. Back to where I grew up and where Randy and I met. When we arrived in Concord, it was 106 degrees. Hotter than it was in Vegas. We went to our favorite place to eat, Mexican Burritos for dinner. They did not have air <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">conditioning</span> so by the time we were done eating we were melted. We thought the movie <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">theater</span> would be nice and cool so we went and saw Up. It was a cute movie and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">definitely</span> cooled us down.<br /><br />Sunday we went to church at the ward I grew up in, and where Randy and I went for a few years. It is always fun to see and visit with old friends.<br /><br />Monday morning we went into San Francisco.

On the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Internet</span> it said a one hour pass was $3.00. When we got there, they didn't sell one hour passes. Just one way tickets for $5.00 or a $10.00 round trip ticket. This was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">a lot</span> more than we budgeted for so we told the kids we wouldn't be taking a ride. They were all <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">disappointed</span>. As we did all of our other <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">activities</span> we decided Randy would take the kids on the cable car for about a 20 minute ride, get off and walk back to the start. This was a big hit. It's hard to go all the way to San Francisco and not ride a cable car.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_RW1OH3y8ZePVJHsrazAn3g6GuCase53EZGQLir4e4J3cMxdrY0BHbgwxutEB71VyYp3_osSrbuUzc4hYlManCJmMtcgZx91kgkfR9LtGxwDtEBH6FDKTbxAEOk9SVsgweXmQlqsKFjzL/s1600-h/100_1326.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356195562898228562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_RW1OH3y8ZePVJHsrazAn3g6GuCase53EZGQLir4e4J3cMxdrY0BHbgwxutEB71VyYp3_osSrbuUzc4hYlManCJmMtcgZx91kgkfR9LtGxwDtEBH6FDKTbxAEOk9SVsgweXmQlqsKFjzL/s320/100_1326.jpg" border="0" /></a> We then went <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">to Fisherman's</span> Wharf.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnCadf9tuTHhz6bUYAygx2xakK3SSf03zH5wEF83JqN5YyiE7xdPNIADceFMk5zAWmSDXbD_d8MNV99PXWn8vj6V6h7Vn665cuIcWIEWbBA5vhAU4-gvWnh6fT-CNWgWpSpYOv6wMwhW3z/s1600-h/100_1327.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356195169762948802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnCadf9tuTHhz6bUYAygx2xakK3SSf03zH5wEF83JqN5YyiE7xdPNIADceFMk5zAWmSDXbD_d8MNV99PXWn8vj6V6h7Vn665cuIcWIEWbBA5vhAU4-gvWnh6fT-CNWgWpSpYOv6wMwhW3z/s320/100_1327.jpg" border="0" /></a> We had <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">lunch</span> at Pier 39.

It was an enjoyable book for me because the first part of the book I felt like I was reading about my dad. To me, my dad and Elinor are one and the same. On page 64 Meggie asks Elinor, "Why is it so dark everywhere here?" Elinor's answer, "Because I'd rather spend my money on books than unnecessary electricity". Here are a couple of pictures to prove my theory.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOWTNUHsZrFpZ7ptWDUlgqLwppSqYl0dU74WCCs9fjs_-3gw64VNST8faVgy4GzjxnDsFa8KD6UqhSYQ3Cy_EeVJjRlrKPWhDRqUC_LAvFN04YJ-jIEfgsRea1i-ewyrKgCAeESTkqjrSD/s1600-h/100_1158.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326836404424815042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOWTNUHsZrFpZ7ptWDUlgqLwppSqYl0dU74WCCs9fjs_-3gw64VNST8faVgy4GzjxnDsFa8KD6UqhSYQ3Cy_EeVJjRlrKPWhDRqUC_LAvFN04YJ-jIEfgsRea1i-ewyrKgCAeESTkqjrSD/s320/100_1158.jpg" border="0" /></a> My dad in front of a few of his books in his family room. Notice he is wearing his hat and coat. This is normal for him to wear in his house since he won't turn up the heat. His house is usually in the 40's during the winter months. He does use a space heater in his den to keep warm while he's reading, but when he goes to the rest of the house he puts on a coat.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc3GjiY1oWseHkmOKt8Tv7My4H5hm5LlEktIm3Gxsq_5_UxsTcRSsyTBxKW83jHJTjMpc4lTCaY0TEqc08VD285fsw5R735yZIrC7-PScqZvJZgAWlKe3LwV0h0KB1H9tlxwoNhM8MrcTo/s1600-h/100_1161.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326836239038230194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc3GjiY1oWseHkmOKt8Tv7My4H5hm5LlEktIm3Gxsq_5_UxsTcRSsyTBxKW83jHJTjMpc4lTCaY0TEqc08VD285fsw5R735yZIrC7-PScqZvJZgAWlKe3LwV0h0KB1H9tlxwoNhM8MrcTo/s320/100_1161.jpg" border="0" /></a> These two pictures are of the guest bedroom where we slept while we were there last week.

Randy was able to go golfing with his dad, two brothers and his brother-in-law. It was suppose to rain all day but the weather was great until about a half hour after they got home, then it poured. Perfect timing. While the men were golfing the kids got to play with 4 of their cousins. This was the first time we got to meet Avery. She was born right after the last time we saw them, which was 9 months ago. Ashley had a blast taking her picture over and over. After golf, we had a great dinner and were able to visit for a couple more hours.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzjRt3wienb3GELQbWm9c0v569aGrZXBykeZwK60pOlBAoG1agrDJOCN7fvB9C1yFcxogi89Uml_DZHEw7PHvO9VHLYau57cz6iJRXY5u1Smrs8NurvxerqZi3sqsVIghRXoaVedflidFC/s1600-h/DSC04772.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326824360150588594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzjRt3wienb3GELQbWm9c0v569aGrZXBykeZwK60pOlBAoG1agrDJOCN7fvB9C1yFcxogi89Uml_DZHEw7PHvO9VHLYau57cz6iJRXY5u1Smrs8NurvxerqZi3sqsVIghRXoaVedflidFC/s320/DSC04772.jpg" border="0" /></a> We then drove down to Randy's sisters' home.
