Look what I did last weekend!

Ever since I moved to California I have heard about this great Mud Run you could do at Camp Pendleton. You run through the mud and clime over and under obstacles. Well this year we signed up for a mud run in Orange County (we didn't make it in to the Pendleton mud run). You can sign up in teams of 4. Here we are with our team Crystal and Opy next to the very coordinated and red Worthington team. Notice Fred Flinstone in the background too, I think he wanted to be apart of our team. You could dress up for the mud run, and we saw some crazy costumes.



On your marks . . . get set . . . GO!



Go red team go!


Here we are after the race. Just a little muddy.


I learned a couple of things from this race.


1. I don't like to get dirty (So why did I do a mud run?)
2. Just because I could run 1/2 marathon a year ago doesn't mean I can run 3 miles now.
(Joyce I have a lot of work to do if we are going to run the St. George Marathon.
2. I am not as agile as I used to be.
(throwing myself down on the rocky muddy ground is not going to feel good.)


However, that being said, I am defiantly going to sign up for the Camp Pendleton mud run next year.

Lots and Lots of Family

This last month has been lots of fun. We have been spoiled by visits with family. First My mom and dad came into town on their way to Hawaii. We enjoyed spending time with them, and Sienna was excited Mimi came back to her room.


We hiked to Vernal pools, a seasonal pond.


There were beautiful wild flowers and cacti along the way.


Someone was happy to be with her Mimi and Papa.



Then a week later my sister Joyce, her husband Mike and their boys came for a visit. We enjoyed swimming in the pool, playing Wii, going to the beach and the Wild Animal Park.


Sienna loves her cousins Caleb and Dallin and "Baby Blake."


We were able to have dinner at the fire station with Steve. We rode in the Firetruck,



Had a photo shoot,




and slid down the fire slide.





For Easter we were able to go up to Grandma Judy and Grandpa Donnie's house and enjoy Easter dinner with Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.


Then a couple weeks later. . .

Surprise!

My sister Gretchen surprised me with a visit!


Sienna and Kapri were friends right away. Doesn't my girl look so grown up holding her cousin's hand and showing her around.


We also went to the Wild Animal Park.


We saw lots of animals.


and some baby birds too.






To avoid traffic we stopped at a nearby mall to have dinner and take a train ride.


We were even lucky enough to enjoy a dinner with Heath in Downtown San Diego.

We are exhausted, but we loved playing with family and would do it again anytime!

Another visit to the Dairy

Yesterday we went back to the Dairy for a tour. When we went a couple of weeks ago, Sienna was able to feed the goats and sheep, but not the cows.
