Fromms in Tremonton

 Heidi, Shelby and her friend McKayla drive their pick up truck to Las Vegas with all of Sydney's 'stuff' - bed, boxes of books, etc.  We met them in Tremonton Tuesday morning on their way back to Wenatchee.

 Aren't they pretty?  The girls has fun Las Vegas tee shirts - so cute.

 Heidi said Stefan packed like a jig saw puzzle and got everything in the back - they actually bought this truck online from Sandy City - it is an old fire truck and they have really enjoyed having it...and they got home safely - yay!!

Southern Utah Half Marathon - 13.1

 The wind was blowing hard - but we wanted a picture with this lovely English Teacher!!

 Waiting at the 9 mile mark to cheer on the runners - especially Lindsey.

 Here she comes!  Don't know why the picture is turned - Lindsey has a white hat, blue shirt and black pants.

 Olivia was so happy and wanted to give her a high five!

 She did it!

 Finish strong!  Lindsey wanted to run around 2 hours - and ended up 1 hour 54 minutes or so!!  great job!

 Next year Jennie and Heather are planning on running - and maybe Sydney!  What a great group!

Happy Race is over!!  We left to drive back to Pocatello,  the rest stayed and played some more.  The house has a swimming pool - and it was around 80 - 85 degrees!

More St. George Fun!

Sydney came up from Las Vegas after she finished teaching school - we all headed to Pizza Pie Cafe for a yummy dinner.

 The Cafe was in the Mall - so we had people looking at us the whole time - and we looked at them!!

 So much fun!

 These are our good friends - Fred and Laurel Leavitt - they lived in our ward in CA and moved to St. George after retiring...sweet wonderful people.  They are serving a Church Service mission helping transients that come through St. George - they have them work at D.I. to earn some help!!

 There was a game room - this air hockey table, a Pool table and Fooseball!  kids had fun!

The kitchen Saturday morning - Lindsey left really early to run - we are just getting breakfast and then we'll go down and cheer for her!!!

St. George Fun!

This is the great view of St. George from the balcony of the house that Dan's friend let them use.  See the temple in the middle of the valley?  Beautiful!

 Jumping on the Trampoline - different kind - sideways spring things.

 Fun to play with grandkids ... Keenyn told me:  "I accidently threw a rock at Briella."  - I asked: Did she cry?  Yes he said and we talked about NOT doing that again!

 Play ground - the kids kept calling it a Park.

 Gas firepit in the yard.. I guess you can roast marshmallows?

 Basketball court and tennis - plus shuffleboard and Hop Scotch!!  Glass backboards on the BBall court.
