Mother's Day at the park

Here are picture of some silly kids!!

They sure have a lot of FUN!!

Lexie, Clark and Landon are really good friends and cousins and are 12 years old.

"Mothers Day" at our Mother's Day Park.

We have been going to this park for the last three years. Not many people go there and so we plenty of room.

All the kids were there except Blake and Kim's family. Maybe next year, since they are moving to Logan.

Race for the Cure Race

This is our third Spring going to "Race For The Cure" at

Gateway in SL.

It is always sooooo……FUN.

This was the best year yet, all the kids that did not race had fun at the FREE booths that was in the parking lot. Eating Free ice cream, yogurt, apple slices and playing the games and winning prizes. All FREE. They each had about four stuffed animals, some games, puzzels, toys and lots of flavored water they took home. Each one had their face painted

The race is a three mile race, Treena, MinDee, Crystal, KaeLee

and Megan ran the three miles.

There was about 20.000 people that ran.

It was a beautiful sunny day.

Lexie, Tara, Grace and Landon were in prize heaven!!
