Last Saturday me and a bunch of friends ran the Zion 10K Fun Run! It was BEAUTIFUL!!!! And the run was awesome! I made my goal of under an hour, and I was pumped about that! It made it great to have so many great friends there, and my sweet husband and kids were there at the finish line!
Shanette and I drove up to Zions that morning, ya we left at 6:00 AM! And we picked up Matty and Tami on the way. We thought we needed to be there early to catch the shuttle to take us up, but we really didn't need to be there so early! We waited up the canyon for over an hour before the race started, and it was FREEZING! Luckily the sun came out, and the weather was beautiful!
The course was great, and I couldn't have asked for more beautiful scenery! It really was fun!
My sweet family was there for me at the finish line, cheering me on! What a great family I have!
Shanette and I ran the race together, which made it a lot easier!
Leilani, Shanette, and I
Great friends from Cedar! I really do have some awesome friends! Thanks guys for such a fun day!
As many of you know, McKinlee loves to dance! Well this time, dancing got a little out of control! She had some of her friends over, and they were dancing, and I was in the other room. Suddenly I heard this big THUD, and a HUGE SCREAM!! Of course being the good mom that I am, my first reaction was "McKinlee don't wake up Hunter...." until I looked at her face, blood streaming down it! And of course I FREAKED! And by me FREAKING, McKinlee's poor friends got a little wigged out! Apparently she hit her forehead on the latch corner of our entertainment center. And boy did that thing bleed! 
To make a long story short, my sweet friend Michelle came over and watched Hunter, and I picked Jordan up from work and we went to the doctor to get our first set of stitches. It was a crazy cut, and hard for them to stitch. She got 4 stitches. And I am so worried about scaring on her beautiful face! The worst part was putting the shot in to numb it, that was horrible for McKinlee and mom! It was seriously so hard to see my daughter in pain, know that there was nothing I could do to make it all better! 
And to make things even worse, the next day one of the stitches came apart! So we had to go back in, but this time they did the "super glue" with a suture band aid. McKinlee was quite relieved! But she was so tough, I was so proud of her! 
This was our first experience with stitches, and I'm sure not our last!
