My Baby Turns 7

How did such a thing happen?

It seems that just yesterday this little one came into our lives.

We made her a yellow cake with rainbow sprinkle frosting, as requested.

She got a new scooter from Grandpa and Grandma Carter.

She was very excited to ride it to school.

For over a year, Clara has been asking for an orange ukulele. She first saw one while we were buying Jared new strings for his guitar.  I figured she was too young last year and would forget about it, but not so!  She was patient and was so excited to get it for her birthday this year.

Cedar City Half Marathon 2017

A couple of my friends had run the Cedar City Half Marathon the past few years and have really liked it.  So I decided to give it a go this year.

The morning of the run started out very rainy and I was a little worried that we would be running the whole half in the rain.  Sha and I huddled under a shared garbage bag at the start-line.

Just as the sun started coming up, the rain let off a little.  Anna, Sha and I were ready to go.

Sha and I coming into the finish line.

hahaha!  We are not very coordinated while we run!

All done!

This was a fantastic race.  Very well organized and a beautiful course. I'll definitely consider it again.
