After getting into Courmayeur we planned a run. Since the race did not enter into Italy we thought that we should go run part of the trail. I am so glad we did. It was incredible. The views amazing. It wasn't until seeing this side of the mountain range that I was super bummed that race stayed in France. Luke would have been getting into this area around sunrise and we would have had amazing views....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After running this section, it was determined that we would go back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Any friends willing to join us and Hike the TMB trail?</div>

After we came down from the first tram you could hike a trail that went over to anther glacier area. It was approx 5 miles or so across. I had taken several iphone photos from the views on the run, but the sun distorted most of the photos and they didn't turn out. This whole area was carved out by a massive glacier and is rapidly melting. We hiked down to the glacier and you could actually walk through the glacier because they have drilled a hole running through it that you can walk through. Slightly Sketchy, but interesting. The saddest part of the day was when you walked down they had different signs of where the glacier was located over the past several decades. It was crazy to see how just in the past 5 years how rapidly it is melting away. </div>

The girls and I headed down to Philmont again...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brynlee was very excited because she thought we would be staying for </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the whole summer like we did last year, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so she was a little sad when I explained that we would </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
only by staying for 10 days, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and that daddy would not be coming with us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luke has been on a traveling frenzy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and needed to stay home to get hours in at work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the girls and I headed to SLC and Jumped on a plane to Denver. Chlöe did</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
great on her first flight ever, I know those</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
around us were worried, but it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was only a one hour flight and she had plenty</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to keep her busy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grandpa picked us up and we headed down the road to New Mexico. (4 hour drive)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The girls were welcomed with new clothes...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks, they look adorable in their new</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
western outfits...Ready for ridding the ponies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
At the Ranch this year the girls were able to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
attend the programs that they offer for </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the children that come </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with their parents for training.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brynlee attended "Bandits" and Chlöe was at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Small Fry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brynlee was able to ride a bus and go</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hiking. She went on 2 one mile hikes...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after one hike she was awarded root beer </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the other hike ended at a T-Rex print.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brynlee made all sorts of items like a bug catcher,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a Lorax mask, a rubber band gun, and several</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
other fun things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But most importantly the girls</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
get to go ride ponies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brynlee was super excited to see her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
old friend Butterscotch, but</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chlöe would only touch this</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gentle friend. She wanted nothing to do with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It gave us so much time to celebrate....<br />
The past three years we have not been in Pocatello for the 4th, and the last two years Brynlee has not seen fireworks at all...so this year was a lot of fun because we did some of the more traditional things.<br />
Wednesday morning we headed to the parade route and enjoyed the 4th of July parade. It was hot outside, but the girls had a good time. I was glad we could honor those who have fought for our freedom and it was a good opportunity to teach Brynlee about it as well.<br />
Later that evening we went over to our friends house, the Schroeder's, and had a BBQ, which was awesome because we haven't done that for awhile. The kids had a great time as well because they were able to light off a bunch of "legal" fireworks. On a side note, When Luke and I bought some fire works, I think we only spent $10, but Luke told me that was the first time he had ever bought fireworks. I thought it was crazy, growing up with my 2 brothers....they were always lighting off fireworks and blowing stuff up... i guess there's always a first time, right.<br />

Thursday night we drove to Palisades and spent the rest of the weekend with my parents. It was great to get back into the mountains. I hadn't been up there since winter and I am always blown away by how gorgeous it is over there. On Friday and Saturday we went out on the lake. Growing up we spent a lot of time in the boat, so I am very happy that both girls love being in Papa's boat. Brynlee got behind the wheel for awhile. She did a great driving of steering, mostly straight, we were just glad that it is a big lake. </div>

This will mostly be a photo dump of our trip to California.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went down to San Diego so Luke could run the San Diego 100. It was up by Mount. Laguna...if you are familiar with the area. It was a nice area, but did not have the mountains and elevation gain that his other race have had. I won't go into a lot of details, but Luke was not able to finish the race and had to pull out around mile 60. He had a really bad respiratory infection and he couldn't breath....so sadly it was his first ever DNF. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So he started off looking like this...healthy...happy...</div>

Tuesday we headed north to Ventura Ca. We met up with George and Alison from Patagonia and they took us surfing. It was a lot of fun. Brynlee was excited to be in her wet suit, and she even didn't mind getting on the surf board, but she was not excited with the taste of the salt water.</div>

Brynlee started climbing. She was a little weary at first but quickly figured it out and surprised both Luke and I as she tried really hard and kept going up even after squishing fingers and bonking her head and legs. She has been quite a monkey lately and has also picked up a new talent for climbing trees. Chloe enjoyed wearing a make shift harness but did not want to get close to the rocks at all. She happily enjoyed playing in the dirt.</div>

Brynlee also finished another year of pre-school. Technically she graduated from Pre-School, but lucky for us she will not be enrolled in public school and will continue Kindergarten at the Montessori school she has attended. We LOVE her school. She is in a great learning environment and has an amazing teacher. She has grown and learned so much. I really wish she could attend this one room class room until she was in fifth grade. For some reason since the day Brynlee was born I have feared and dreaded the day she would enter public school. At least I can put it off for another year. For the final day of school they didn't have a fancy program or presentation, but they took a class field trip to Lady Bird Farms. A local organic farm. It was great to go out there and see the huge garden. We enjoyed learning about their farming techniques. The class memorized a poem about zucchini and presented it to Jessie the organic farmer. I learned a lot and we hope to get out there again and help volunteer.</div>

After sadly leaving Zion National Park and St. George at the beginning of the month, I was lucky enough to go back 2 weeks after leaving. I was invited by a friend to take a girls trip to Zion to go canyoneering and running. It was a great trip, so nice to get out...have "girl" conversations, and be active. We had a great balance of getting in a good work out, getting dirty, sweaty, and then eating amazing food and watching several chick flicks. </div>

Chloe is now 20 months old. She still isn't talking much but she has been trying...when she feels like it. She is a very funny girl, she has a huge smile that she shares with us constantlly. She has been living up to her nick name "Angry Bird," but for the most part has been good. She has been biting and scratching her older sister though, so we are trying to work through that...hopefully it doesn't last long. She is definitely more adventurous that her older sister. She doesn't seem to be afraid of anything or anyone, and really has no concept of the word no, which I find odd. She loves shoes and enjoys putting on all kinds of shoes no matter who's they are or what they are. Right now her favorites seem to be the one pair of heels that I own and a pair of vintage ski boots that are a decoration in the living room. She has to do everything that her older sister does and is a little shadow to Brynlee. Brynlee doesn't seem to mind at all and has been an amazing big sister to chloe. </div>

Brynlee has been taking Tap and Ballet at the community rec. center. She has enjoyed it and had her Spring Recital last night. It was so fun to watch her, plus she was so dang cute dressed up. She has grown up so quickly, I can't believe that she is old enough to be doing things like this. I think she enjoyed it, but didn't love it enough to try again. She mentioned she'd like to try tumbling and gymnastics so we might give that a try. I'm just so thankful that we live close to the rec. center and that they offer classes like this. </div>

Luke and I drove to Jackson wyoming over memorial day. As we were driving over the pass I remembered that it was ten years ago on memorial day weekend that we had gotten engaged. We stopped on the way home and took a photo. I can't believe it has been ten years! And yes, I would do it all over again.</div>

This past week we had the chance to go to Zion National Park in Southern Utah. Luke had an opportunity to be in a photo/video shoot for Patagonia. It was an awesome experience, we met some amazing people, had a great time, and we loved being in 85 Degree weather. We still can't believe the opportunity we had and will be anxiously waiting to see the results of the week.</div>

I took my camera, but only pulled it out once so we don't have many photos. The girls played in lots of sand, dirt, and rocks. We forgot to bring our hiking backpack so we didn't get out on any hikes this trip...I don't know how we missed that on the packing list, seriously. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am sure we'll be back again and we'll get out to explore more. We camped most of the time we were there and there was a great beach next to the river at our campground. We had fun playing by the shore. </div>

Luke also had the chance to run the Zion traverse trail. It's basically a trail that runs east to west in the park and covers 48 miles. He and<a href="http://www.krissymoehl.com/Krissy_Moehl/Welcome.html"> Krissy</a> ran it hoping to become the new male and female time record holders. I've included a few photos of the end of the run...Luke put all that he had into it and it shows. I'm not sure that I have ever seen him so wrecked before, but it was worth the push. He beat the record by 10 min, running 48 miles in 7:48. Krissy also did amazing and ran it in 9:09 also a new record!</div>

Brynlee also celebrated a birthday. She is 5 now! We didn't go all out like I did last year, thank goodness...it was more simple this year. We spread it out over several days so she had a lot of fun. She invited a friend to outer limits to play, we had family over for dinner, and then we had cake in Zion National Park. She has grown up so much lately, she is an amazing big sister, she is a great helper for me, and has a very sweet personality. We love you so Much Big Girl!!!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;">It was great to be back in Peru. The sights, sounds, and smells were all a vivid reminder of the past. It was hard to believe that it had been 8 years since Luke and I had been back to Peru together. Luke and I went down with three friends in the summer of 2004 and spent three months in Ecuador and Peru. We attended a Spanish immersion school and traveled and explored as much as we could. For the past three years Luke has gone back to Peru with Idaho Condor and I couldn't wait to be able to join them on an expedition. This year finally worked out for me and I joined Luke on the humanitarian trip that provided medical and dental services to the small villages outside of Cuzco Peru. The villages were chosen because of the lack of access to care these people face.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;">Overall the trip was amazing and unforgettable. Since Luke and I left South America in 2004, we always knew we wanted to go back and to find a way to help educate and provide services to this population. Looking back now it is interesting to see the progress we have made in our lives that help us have this opportunity. I am so thankful that we had the chance to do this and I hope to continue to do more in the future. I can't wait until Brynlee and Chloe have the chance to go down and help out and to realize how much they have and how bless we our. An experience like this really impacts your life, you really re-evaluate what is important and make you so thankful for the little things you have.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;">I love culture. I love people watching. I love watching little children play and seeing how it is no different than children in any other part of the world. I love mountains and breathtaking views.... Hence the following photos. I tried to do my best to capture these in my photos. I am still trying to figure out my camera, and am so far from being a very good photographer, but I hope you can get a feel for what we did and saw. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;">Cuzco city tour: These are a few of the sights and people in and around Cuzco. In Peru, it is getting to the end of their rainy season, so everything was so green...and there were flowers. It was beautiful to see, especially where we were coming from a brown and slightly snowy Idaho. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;">Our first village we visited... I will never forget. We were in a high mountain village, over 11,500 feet in elevation. It was breathtaking, and when we pulled into the village we were welcomed by the all of the people in the village. It instantly brought tears to my eyes. The women and men were all lined up in a large group and were dressed in their traditional clothing and welcomed us with flowers. We provided care in the community school rooms. They were not very large but we were able to get a lot done. Our police escort, Polito AKA Wilson, gave the children in the village toothbrushes that we brought. He was great to have around...he is amazing with the children and loves to educate them. He taught the kids how to brush there teeth and then gave them all a fluoride treatment. Besides medical and dental treatment, the villages are also provided with hair cuts, OBGYN care, and eye care. We also like to paint the little girls fingers with nail polish. There fingers are usually covered in dirt, but at least their nails look pretty when we are done. After we finished our clinics the village provided us with potatoes and corn, an offering of thanks. Then the village challenged us to a game of soccer before we left. It was fun to watch and we put up a good fight. We stayed in this village for most of the day so I have a lot of photos here... oh and before we left the village, luke ran down the mountain with a 2 boys from the village. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;">Throughout the week in Peru we went to other larger towns. We were really busy and I was not able to get as many photos but here is a collection of them. We provided a lot of care and education to the towns especially in the schools so I have a lot of photos of our dental education to kids.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;">We ended our last full day clinic in the Sacred Valley. The views to the village were AMAZING! It again was unforgettable and I tried to take so many photos of the landscape, but it just doesn't do it justice. I attached photos, but just image it 10x's more than what the photos show. Again we provided services in the village school. It is often the best place to provide care due to it being somewhat centrally located and it is typically the largest place we can all fit into. The people in this town were awesome. I loved it. I took a lot of photos of them here. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #333333;">Our trip was amazing. I know i've said it many times, but it really was. Our group as a whole worked so well together. I have a new level of respect and appreciation for those who came down with us. It was so fun to get to know everyone. I also wanted to thank Luke. He was the expedition coordinator. It is a huge job...and he put together an great trip. Also, thanks to Luke's mom for watching the girls while we were gone. </span></div>Tanae Nelsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09691805098939732157noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287752554134399623.post-39947874122124291982012-03-08T13:27:00.005-08:002012-03-08T13:46:34.131-08:00Good thing this isn't my day job<div style="text-align: left;">I am not sure that I am cut out for blogging, it's a good thing I am not doing this to make money or to show people how to do something.

Last year he was the second US finisher, third overall, but this year he was first overall! It was exciting, plus it was fun to have his parents there to see the race with us. This is the first skimo race they had seen, and it was great to have them around.</div><div style="text-align: left;">The race was held in Jackson Hole at Teton Village. The course climbed up 8000 vertical feet and then of course you have to come down 8000 feet as well.</div><div style="text-align: left;">He was strong this year and had no problem with his gear. It was fun to watch this year as well because I was able to go up the tram and see Luke reach the top . It was the first time I've been able to see him on the course.

It was good to be home with my brothers, parents, and niece and nephew. Christmas is getting better every year with Kids around. Christmas Eve we spend at my Grandma's house, looking back I wish I would have taken my camera because I did not realize that would be the last Christmas with her around. We had a nice dinner and it was great to be at my grandma's again, it brought back a lot of memories from when I was little.</div><div>When we got back to my parent's house the girls received the traditional PJ's and then they frosted ginger bread cookies for Santa.

Our ward had a trunk-or-treat on Saturday night so it gave us a nice opportunity to walk through our neighbor hood with the girls and visit with our neighbors. It wasn't too cold and the girls had a fun time. Chlöe was mostly entertained by a sucker for the night, and Brynlee was very brave and did a really good job of saying "trick-or-treat" and thank you. It's fun to see her grow up and change from year to year and to see her develop a relationship with her sister. </div></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74vRQrBx6UNToPOhOCDq-NnUcSZ1ceV5PmjYfx04v0ZqRcetmMAvU7DepSQHKI8ahJMz3_zGcPXHNmdWh9OFltasgHWt7zxQedzHIba5gJEZ-6Bk2eHqUt2ohzHvUlMeiu9dwu3SXEC_X/s320/IMG_3734.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670103348111100738" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqxaJu25KzvdRAzSwU9Mtweawod3jQOmT84NAg7m29ijXrUWhw4bGM-JRtNwEWt-bN9T-8X0FMcAg8pcItGufCsd9EDQl6d_EyHGF0WBrtLs-q_JQDB5yP4CGONw4UEMKww-0PnMeLRKEl/s320/IMG_3845.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670111694200339698" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></span></span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAvTgMQS_cgQ7B-j6oHM6w6ftRKMTsWIUxY9qLqeRZCcCOK7snS1g9EhtNvFUhpaf5zd9v8kYZBAh2mmheWjsSAPoCqI001iCTYU0pVjee1Dzz0m-gA0GUyH1MvsbD8wVjdpf03aedNQuL/s320/IMG_3844.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670111687719148370" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div>Tanae Nelsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09691805098939732157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287752554134399623.post-55222476093571150082011-10-26T06:33:00.000-07:002011-10-26T08:54:56.317-07:00Pumpkin Patch<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBAUf-bK5oHdhLgfYEj9fmC6BDI57fS_xQjmEJLGDp6QGrJZUdmF5GP9Osxssa5BbtL3PoxTWscTH3nOpA4v8N4nlqAqMYSEPbRyHhotCMLr_G8cXXn2AXsUZ9dyrYBV2Ew3SpeOcR2wQn/s1600/IMG_3675.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a>This week we went to a pumpkin patch out in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Chubbuck</span> to pick out pumpkins. I actually planned ahead this year, so we had a better experience buying pumpkins. Last year I kept putting it off and when Luke and I took the girls out to get pumpkins we check three different stores and ended up getting the last pumpkin available at Fred Meyers. There was a reason why it was the last pumpkin. It had no stem, was still a greenish color, and was very large and oddly shaped...but we had a pumpkin.<div>Keeping last year in mind, as I saw pumpkins around town I bought one early and then heard about the pumpkin patch at Swore farms. This is the place to get a pumpkin (if you didn't grow your own). It was a bit cold and the wind was blowing quite a bit, but we had a great time. Our friends joined us and we were able to get a lot of good photos with the kids.<div><br /></div><div><br /><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;

I have not had the best track record for updating this blog, so for the 3 of you who look at it, sorry. This past month has had it's ups and downs. It was harder than I thought adjusting to being home. It seems like we are only now feeling that we are adjusting to being back home and trying to find a rythem to our schedule. That might have something to do with our crazy busy Aug-Sep schedule of running, running, traveling, birthdays, weddings, school, and running...<div><br /><div>Let me explain.</div><div><br /></div><div>Our first stop, even before getting home to Pocatello was in Star Valley (Afton), Wy to run our favorite race the El Vaquero Loco (50K and 25K). Luke did awesome again, and was able to win the race for the 4th time in a row. I was glad that I also had the opportunity to run it this year, last year being pregnant kind of put a damper on running, but it made it all the more exciting this year to be back in the game. I felt much better and actually ran way more of the course than I had done previously, but I was kind of sad to see that my time was not that much better. Besides that it was great to be back in familiar territory, seeing northwestern mountains and good friends.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHaokjPzL9ZDF-xB3CVW2B_dtiIf_uHTdJ-RZtmbi6MrrDQqwkKObckhT41yuXVxwPVmZWvR4jPQnAfdFSalCTueMnp5ugsniAdzDO28rbkzgu0Dwt2iUI9hwA_81By07mS26SE3Ai7zPU/s320/P1040010_2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659802398300118386" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 320px; " /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0w5NuiVYBb6t6V9Dx-8ysVvuTctPb0Uw_4uB_GY3iDRXhHAH1OA3BjCHSGG4iNdeKD8z-6L8JqwsbGG-ZUpwENMg0Mfrqzdr0Bot6rw9WZxy2UcqqJpEepf_3kIWWFX_5JdQCRLTkBT1-/s320/P1040001.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659802385085896690" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 193px; " /></span></span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></span>Groups of friends ready to run the race</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirxouBnPWQLMIMOXPuT-6WzbCE_tNKakeLkqK16VxLIi4xGEcmQJ3earneeKwNKRgwn2tgiQRwDh5hu0CPQZdTsYIftO1UT-njjGOCutKJ0bOFh0P2Kd7HTbg-AUWrHEMYpmMyXPJEEVON/s320/P1040006.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659802393525113058" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></span>Jenny and I stopped for a photo, we really just wanted to rest from hiking up from the lake you see below.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBTRVFMUzCa6WIBX1pVOVNx1Bfyg9hSFQhfXSbc7T1cTO7RNMLnK08BSrRGAOmAGUu3cyYsu0kwr6hQjP4leM-ZLXuW7GvCQ82bxiSWFx7aCqvfdWSxQpF7XtH1QQ3ycwkGLU639CG5sqs/s320/IMG_2614.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659805572477797314" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">Celebrating my Birthday with a good ol' fashioned ride on the tube.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></span></div><div>After getting home we began setteling in, I unfortunately got a year older. We knew that summer would shortly come to an end so we hurried and tried to do a lot of the things that you do in Pocatello for summer, and then came more running. Luke has had a goal to run to the top of the Grand Teton for awhile now. Last year he ran to the top of Mt. Borah and set a running speed record there, so he hoped that he could have some success on the Grand. The day he ran the Grand was beautiful, he did an amazing job and set a time of 3:33:02! Yes, he ran to the top of the Grand and back down in 3 hours, 33 min, and .02 seconds. While it was an awesome effort, and the fastest time in the past 20 something years that we know of, the record was set 28 years ago with a time of 3:07. Now we'll have a new goal for next year.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEici3Nygs7DB1YL5uY2jui_8BHO3nuMX0CLKi5U8KeGW0oRkp7mgi2jGLZ3HlveEmbKWuL8BZW7G3ag7iIEPIXqrBXpUF9wKmJpeeOXI-fZmDi4CyJYhxwPHgCY4ZZGvfSMSO2LwPtk4vmJ/s320/IMG_0480.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659801271020379842" style="display: block;

Luke's parents were able to help out with the race while they were here, which made it so nice. We were all able to be there and cheer him on. With trail races you can only see the runners when they go into aid stations so there are usually several hour in between when you see the runners. Luke was at the front of the pack and moved between 2nd and 3rd position through the 100 mile race. Each time we saw him he looked great and was feeling great, 2 things which usually don't happen when most people run for 100 miles. Luke felt like he had run the perfect race, his training and nurtition were where they needed to be and he ended up finishing 2nd overall. He ran 100 miles in under 20 hours. A time for the Wasatch that is incredible. There have only been 6 people in 32 years to run the race in under 20 hours. We were really happy for him! Plus it was fun to watch him do so well.

This past weekend was the Bear 100, which starts in Logan, Ut and ends in Bear Lake. This time both Luke and I Paced runners that were running the course. It was the first time that I had the chance to pace a runner so I was a little nervous, but I think it turned out ok. I ran 17 miles, we'll hiked, from 8:30 pm to 4:15 am. It was dark the entire time so we used our headlamps and tried to have warm layers on because it got really dark. Overall it was a great learning experience on seeing what goes on at night in a 100 mile race, but it didn't convience me that it's for me.

We were really not ready to leave, but we needed to come back to work on the next stage of our life. I was sad to leave Philmont. We had a great time there. I am happy to be back in Pocatello, to shopping at Winco, Costco, Fred Meyers, TJ Maxx, and was surprised to see that we will soon be getting a Cafe Rio. But, I miss the quiet simple things we were able to do at the ranch together as a family. We were able to eat all of our meals together in the dining hall and were able to spend a lot of time together. It was great to have the girls be able to spend so much time with their grandparents.
<br />Now being back, I miss dirt roads. I miss being able to walk across the street and run for a long time without seeing anyone but deer, or elk, or antelope, or possibly buffalo in the fields. I also miss the afternoon thunderstorm that would roll in cooling us off from the heat of the day. I miss seeing all of the big trees and baby deer running through the fields.....
<br />But, We are back to enjoy the end of summer in Idaho and look forward to doing many more fun things. We have already gone to the cabin, been boating, went to the Pool, had snow cones (tigers blood of course), played in our yard, at the park, gone on wagon rides, and are planning a trip to the Zoo.
<br />Here are a few more photos of things on the ranch.

I can't even begin to describe how amazing the mountains area around this place. It is really breath taking, and kind of makes you want to live around the area. Luke and I were lucky enough to be in Silverton twice this summer. Once in May as we drove to New Mexico and then a few weeks ago for the Hard Rock 100. The snow was melted and it was gorgeous.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVl3SGttq5sIhaZHkRD_zlrOtDDkVwOEyTJzt_ILlIiqTkRPX8BUGKNjVuQt0WH60rU92qlaC_vX8_GC1Nqe3MVWnBQE1wEegzqYakIM9yWhyphenhyphenHYppUVFZxFD7kHBRbqTYQYo3226mrKf09/s320/P1030952.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634754867817008322" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>At Philmont there is lots of hiking to be done. Luke ventured out with Brynlee one day to hike the Iconic "tooth" at Philmont. (See photo below). They went up a very steep trail called the Stockade. Brynlee was a trooper and made it half way up to the top. It was a good practice run because a month later we hiked it for grandpa's birthday. Brynlee did great with all of us there and made it to the Tooth ridge and summited to the top! She got quite a welcome at the top by the other hikers that were on the ridge. They were very proud of her and so were we.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKWnkEcYEpYmRprIGP-Vxp8NTtM__RaQ1mpzf079l425jMxIUilcbNuPRbMFPd7-rojpR9ZJFj_paNfGYdzDRf7ZZepcOFZUPQ-eR7pcIpylXlb_RI6H7ov7U2ty8DHfzjvu9X0JMDHJH0/s1600/IMG_2280.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKWnkEcYEpYmRprIGP-Vxp8NTtM__RaQ1mpzf079l425jMxIUilcbNuPRbMFPd7-rojpR9ZJFj_paNfGYdzDRf7ZZepcOFZUPQ-eR7pcIpylXlb_RI6H7ov7U2ty8DHfzjvu9X0JMDHJH0/s320/IMG_2280.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634758706306143138" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjehdx-6rJ7gXYxaso3mvXyX8zQP9sX0_pdAYjKf-6oFzVuYMoCNw7qQwSofmZaCXGEj4TToA41236gUJFm_3jtmttvVh0lm_-U4nWqUBk-Z7u5CM89Ijg78w-Ke6AnQoWM_O-0LhidgzPY/s1600/IMG_2351.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjehdx-6rJ7gXYxaso3mvXyX8zQP9sX0_pdAYjKf-6oFzVuYMoCNw7qQwSofmZaCXGEj4TToA41236gUJFm_3jtmttvVh0lm_-U4nWqUBk-Z7u5CM89Ijg78w-Ke6AnQoWM_O-0LhidgzPY/s320/IMG_2351.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634758698430628626" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijTg0q2X5WSuJ4aoikaHvOVYCs5WyRDTdM4RmgrRXBIIp5MW9yYDWm0NHvHGg9RXMSL5vIrGeFOg5YFqYLFDfTidnfGbtauuYmjcvepyAygk4PRWbeWKw_BwurCHf0t1uEiu3Fwal4Mx9Q/s1600/IMG_2328.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijTg0q2X5WSuJ4aoikaHvOVYCs5WyRDTdM4RmgrRXBIIp5MW9yYDWm0NHvHGg9RXMSL5vIrGeFOg5YFqYLFDfTidnfGbtauuYmjcvepyAygk4PRWbeWKw_BwurCHf0t1uEiu3Fwal4Mx9Q/s320/IMG_2328.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634758695470953218" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCMR0ow4s64gH1t6Kg67zPCinNpSN2x_l15abJy_ttrTgwSp68w0lEB5Dl26Z7TgTtcEZfnr8qXZl0_Vh4f-c776M8ODxXhyphenhyphenidscV2uKFc_h2SrQnpXrwlcR5o-EB2NkdAwUk7L6ElSQ0r/s1600/IMG_2273.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCMR0ow4s64gH1t6Kg67zPCinNpSN2x_l15abJy_ttrTgwSp68w0lEB5Dl26Z7TgTtcEZfnr8qXZl0_Vh4f-c776M8ODxXhyphenhyphenidscV2uKFc_h2SrQnpXrwlcR5o-EB2NkdAwUk7L6ElSQ0r/s320/IMG_2273.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634757975598945378" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHAaSU8arh0RHMG1p7rCTQ4IgYXHPHALj2efNbrQZYghrLQ-cxf_jt9Q-IgouFvJfm7AE6mrQpKnWbvaXxsdSvMxK47Z0SsW6I3uN6SxIYxUNQn_jgQ-J9_qvacx1mOA1klY-ly_1enIOL/s1600/IMG_2315.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHAaSU8arh0RHMG1p7rCTQ4IgYXHPHALj2efNbrQZYghrLQ-cxf_jt9Q-IgouFvJfm7AE6mrQpKnWbvaXxsdSvMxK47Z0SsW6I3uN6SxIYxUNQn_jgQ-J9_qvacx1mOA1klY-ly_1enIOL/s320/IMG_2315.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634757969977712386" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl2Jqlj-epMd_cwTbW9AU1bgXxoqjgLxP00ITAxWvw1uFCJNJLfCPvjKD13qs3kuKe69M_x9KJZqs2K5-Gm0J4sg-K3opOQzn52u8BoKiwooRNn0nxY_Jer-6xxUGg1-vZ8s5UysPAeUwK/s1600/IMG_2275.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl2Jqlj-epMd_cwTbW9AU1bgXxoqjgLxP00ITAxWvw1uFCJNJLfCPvjKD13qs3kuKe69M_x9KJZqs2K5-Gm0J4sg-K3opOQzn52u8BoKiwooRNn0nxY_Jer-6xxUGg1-vZ8s5UysPAeUwK/s320/IMG_2275.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634757964462758050" /></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Besides Hiking we have been hanging out and playing.

She could hardly wait to be able to hold up four fingers and to catch up to her friends who were already 4. Early in the week Brynlee had asked me what a celebration was, I told her it was like a big party for a special event. She told me that she wanted a celebration for her birthday instead of a party. So, here are some details of her celebration. </div><div>Per her requested we celebrated her birthday Rapunzel style after the movie Tangled. I wasn't planning on doing much for her birthday and had only decided a week ago to have friends over, so I jumped online and found a few great ideas for her party. I usually don't make links to posts and mention much about what we do, but I would feel bad about not sharing the sites that I found information from, so here is some information. <a href="http://family.go.com/disney/pkg-disney-character-fun/pkg-everything-tangled/">Disney</a> had a whole website with activities and party ideas, even free invitations and a cake idea, I used most of them. I also found a few other <a href="http://www.supermommoments.com/2011/01/tangled-party-decor-food/">sites</a> that <a href="http://ohamanda.com/2011/01/11/rapunzels-golden-hair-birthday-party/">blogged</a> about their <a href="http://www.emiliehandmade.com/2011/02/disneys-tangled-birthday-party.html">parties</a> as well. They were a big help. I spent a lot of time decorating the house, but it didn't cost much. Brynlee liked it a lot...but in the long run I might have gone overboard a bit. The party was for 4 yr olds, and lasted an hour and a half- so, anyway...lots of work for a short party. We just might keep the decorations up for awhile or move the <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/how-to/tissue-paper-pom-poms-how-to">Martha Stewart pom poms</a> into the girls room for a bit. </div><div>Sorry the photos are so small. I was having problems uploading larger ones and I am not that good at taking photos so...we get what we get.</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></span></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgteXPTWw12EOhg444s3jVCR2EjyDPhNXMy6_9PNB6tIY-Y-DAG2k_Emxy6_QICkNov4BjS1ptTjxhXj3WP-lv2qDNqcs4fkWAhZEa4DPgNUKcv2haC7o5b8__CeQlGz9waXQWsalirU9Lf/s320/IMG_1172.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601973041710431602" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj82JJHGbebI77Ia0FxCYQiysNGd6eFx3M2CF9J-8_ZEDmg3gSARE_W2FFTBFPh3IxqKOmwfIJfo6GsWiAOUv5V19SXvGdUKPmWBJTGLa6-KXlZ4GtxoEY1ldGUbk41ZIQindBROZ1Xoq09/s320/IMG_1170.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601973040473012914" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></span><div><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFYn0FfNF72xBsGfT4UjAIUo55QqoT8Pk99uz6hhqRCPaQrlnt1P0lGt9Uf-GL8UYEjF-NcV3DsCnH3koRi0G5qUarX8neH4_EaQlfHpPvJhpd6d2egDoi2mXbyNvkSRXDgTNMMCBhDunS/s320/IMG_1174.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601973057207103330" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></span><div>When the kids came they colored on coloring sheets from the movie and then we had a contest to see who could draw the best Flynn Rider nose. The kids drew a nose on a wanted poster and then hung their wanted poster up in the room. Most of the noses would have looked better on a jack-o-lantern vs. Flynn Rider, but that's what you get when you have 4 yr old artists.</div><div>Next, they played pin the frying pan on Flynn Rider's face.

We lucked out on our Idaho weather and had sun shine which made it nice for a tug-of-war. One website had suggested braiding yellow rope and using it as Rapunzel's hair, but that sounded like way too much work so we used one of Luke's old climbing ropes instead. The kids had also never really played this before and it was funny watching them...they had a lot of fun and did a great job. At one point they all ended up on the ground pulling each other back and forth.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPO3WjpMMWA5W9b__7cs6YQ9YWaENO3_gQYgPJ-MEGUVxC67EsSRqOWFPBiQ0PApot7-WK8n_1RGIFXdIKIDLXU6AVdExfwGaJWWmHeUxpL7BROFpE_iOfSim-2Rm_eUTVCdx9JIGwkhG/s320/IMG_1189.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601982323620019650" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgrrRHE9ysxq50Ka2Aaeb8VIenVu-i1WxYajy9O739yLESIvQZg3A_e1t3Y5gkAmHWzFV871mVLow4iEHR3BG22KJN81pDer-htA6hEjbGmus4Fn_G2tjR9Izr3NPYNDsnzgo3eFFgCZxo/s320/IMG_1193.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601983640245601346" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></span></div><div>Next we headed to the pinata. We have a tradition in our family that on Birthday's and other get togethers we usually have a pinata. No party is complete without one at our house. Some of the kids had been at Brynlee's last years party where we had a pinata for her Dora Party, and they were all ready for it this year. They did a better job at it this time around, but we still stepped in and helped a little in order to get the candy out. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOkJRQC8wB8paIEEYXKtMvRtnNMuHBrrWp4L6qP-2A_qkiWLr-lh_vYtcgxQN0HQ7sJvO5fFsLeT3twUl0dAv7hydTRK7uuavPGdvxy4we39G6ekpmdpbtZ7efxmf9P3uqvJxjOsM53jds/s320/IMG_1197.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601983648947229602" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhetHv0oAUtdesclLEI7RDDFMBZB3U11RFumNN6vFPHyWV7A535x5OQnlm4keBERAVoWi0Ay5A7BdgtqmYg_4qzSrxsgIPqO3OxJbdZAIsrlPK_ZVS6zOa4uwh4ilmJAUb_NS9vROsx_Wp3/s320/IMG_1199.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601985169727571554" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhldb5VThKDPlTPeVkG8WwaOONu5erHuozt31HexoJ5aKwsp79WSX2Z5a4-VF3Cipp4NqFLVp2-Mz4Crfhh2lsgE9AKCAUpjPbvvcTUj6__DC0PKHukC-iz2N69JsvbKVMnP1onTTXuI_v6/s320/IMG_1220.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601985177219184274" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgewu5Zla9k8JPXh_B5q0XCif28qs8MoS6xs0MKnkFxDANRlLzd8UMWc2213nrH5lEzfRSnSnpP5AFCeuBeOIK-OgUQ4qcHgG64WyQwV4776fa-Dfxke3nGoQR3uOK7jc6AZBXu7b-ItO5X/s320/IMG_1245.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601986775257038834" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>(This was the poor pinata after the party)</div><div><br /></div><div>After all the "sugary candy" was picked up we headed inside for some healthy snacks.

I was shocked to see how long it had been since I had updated the blog. Sorry. <div>Since I last wrote anything, Luke has traveled to Italy to compete in the World Ski mountaineer Championships. He did well. He placed 19th overall against the other competitors and was the first US finisher in the events he competed in. Job well done Luke. He also competed at the Wasatch Powder Keg and won first place. Good job again, Luke.</div><div>After getting home from Italy, Luke then finished up preparations to go to Peru with Idaho Condor on a humanitarian trip. He spent time there over spring break with a large group that provided medical and dental services to remote villages around Cuzco, Peru.</div><div>Now that he is home, we are in training mode for running. Let's hope spring decides to come soon so it will be funner to run outside.</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5pkmEOPsXrcEDFeL2fbXDHzVbiXKOb-rxVTbT8GOM0JKtLK9Ss_zA0lROfB1hArPx1g9K-O0p9KZBnGfFteWFv2rWmqUIKWIi2XPUk8TDZZ_5k9xCZ27d6TvDxPvmN9ms8Ub0Uq7Yj6Q2/s320/IMG_0738_2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592241297784359698" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 320px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Brynlee took ski lessons this year. I was a little worried about her riding the lift without Luke or I but she was fine. It was fun watching her learn to ski. By the end of the lessons she was going all by herself and wanted to straight-line it for the bottom of the chairlift, from the top.

He has been racing in ski mountaineering for several years, but this year his fitness level and ski gear were in line and he was able to pull out a great race. He finished third overall, but was the second American to cross the finish. This race was also a qualifier for the US Skimo team. The first three American finishers would qualify to be on the national team that would compete in February in Italy. Luke is very excited and will be heading off to Italy next month! We are super excited for him, and even though I will not be going over...we will be supporting him from home base. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Here are a few photos of the end of the race.

It was nice having his family with us, especially where they live so far away. On Christmas Eve, we drove to Shelley and had dinner with Luke's grandparents and cousins. Santa made a special appearance at the end of the party and Brynlee and Chlöe were lucky enough to have Santa bring them gifts. They both did well on Santa's Lap. Brynlee told me that she wasn't going to be afraid of Santa this year.<div><br /></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5UToG6CPglrTM85PB1LvcdA3ElXqWZ8-zxiZ8Elj5yMuBMRzeUA1lG9gGhdLF3rsaN75zRnnGk2M3O0RGVk9FXFBuCpZmxAKzHVL9n4LAzVJmqL9r8MdxEeJ1k_xMBn-F1_jWu7XOsME/s1600/DSC_3469.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5UToG6CPglrTM85PB1LvcdA3ElXqWZ8-zxiZ8Elj5yMuBMRzeUA1lG9gGhdLF3rsaN75zRnnGk2M3O0RGVk9FXFBuCpZmxAKzHVL9n4LAzVJmqL9r8MdxEeJ1k_xMBn-F1_jWu7XOsME/s320/DSC_3469.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556910669335460962" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-2uOTjD1PUexTPa4S6LoGTML1JYlKnPfeVWI7X2lqZPB2NVpOcMnBjT7lpdzq8gqLstZIoP4LjJeXuHdWzxdRDcjEMGg3QVn7AcWHr4AIRwcyQhUk1-GF6N1fSDwsqfcU571WitcYYko/s200/DSC_3457.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556907967516632178" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVO97c0HiPuZEiM280aJRGxmOVsDSc3-kz73F4yy6RMxyzMp_33IK0XLEqZza9xYNWiOVk9vfv7S79SEOkmxJLahZGUJUHO-E3w3757s58BdssDkkg8WIbefU_yT4r9Sfi_Ev4NBeS_Zg/s200/DSC_3466.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556907972468715186" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px; " /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7G6R6npWAZJA-1yy2uTyzZIO1izrDY2T1J-pXkADjI_71LI6ivv7VdtsVmmYMAaCxU50HMHK6Diwx-wwVXJZFkAzSy21vl4fYRReoGMhM82Gn8qm5_XP1gM0XoSwdAfBLV5FgVwZG3KE/s1600/DSC_3512.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7G6R6npWAZJA-1yy2uTyzZIO1izrDY2T1J-pXkADjI_71LI6ivv7VdtsVmmYMAaCxU50HMHK6Diwx-wwVXJZFkAzSy21vl4fYRReoGMhM82Gn8qm5_XP1gM0XoSwdAfBLV5FgVwZG3KE/s320/DSC_3512.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556910665117269026" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a>Brynlee helped clean up after the festivities and had fun being pushed around on the broom.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8DM4P2TCynlQP_TOnlkc5vOCkpuA3NThd_I-cyHdJTuPh7Svc14TyXRYQz-3Q5bv8LIq8JdKQGxezPltMvm0QoEvk-QYp97hJ0EKpo2-8lVQsWyaf0W_kYjlmPqSwTPxCM5bZ-liAaaY/s1600/DSC_3516.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8DM4P2TCynlQP_TOnlkc5vOCkpuA3NThd_I-cyHdJTuPh7Svc14TyXRYQz-3Q5bv8LIq8JdKQGxezPltMvm0QoEvk-QYp97hJ0EKpo2-8lVQsWyaf0W_kYjlmPqSwTPxCM5bZ-liAaaY/s320/DSC_3516.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556910660508057586" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a>We had to hurry home so Luke and Brynlee could get ready for Santa.

We headed to Rigby to be with my family for the feast. We thought we were being smart by leaving early on Wednesday to my parents house, but apparently so did everyone else. I-15 was packed with traffic and we were all driving on bad roads. Most of the time we were only going 25-30 miles per hour due to the icy roads and because of all the traffic. We did have time to enjoy a good sunset as we were driving 5 miles an hour here. The total time to drive from Pocatello to Rigby was 3 HOURS! Thank goodness our little girls decided to take a good nap.</div><div><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeEwPOWJgUWDsZXmH8TQwv5TiS8aPHaIvgPfmM0udrq4Ppq-Ka2osuDPU3EoRQowi2givkvbsm1uVS4adOma0I7eCVpcNMXF8DJFOsdF1sfUlWzXcLrf-BbaLL96-MBI1S0AghYYzv5Sy9/s320/P1030295.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545364824906884722" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span><br /><div>When we arrived in Rigby we were surprised by the huge amount of snow that was there. My parents had large drifts everywhere and the cars were all snowed in. All of the snow was fun to play in and good for jumping off of. This drift went mid way to my dad's truck door and then covered the back as well. <div><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir9abA8o3zI-Y1F8PkTT0w_MrjyE8bH8nHdiS6AjUQ64iXLHmcDv85qxZKc0TopGkVpiVac_svy7AQhutL2Q1DW4w9dJ2mmlYpjOS859aBd_fX4LooBCP0OAnxgGrztN40L3f_IGctcK5I/s320/P1030327.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545364844227657218" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIoNWouRy8KfLpwLrDRFKj281nNURm48ufTokMZmkpyHRACE1UPkuw_6OTHg_RZNuqTnXk8Wpa-Zir-6icWrh-ocEaMdIePdi9nMA0ergxhAv8IztBE83Tn1uZcFm3ahYwc8k8ot4zAa90/s320/P1030324.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545364831682715666" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></span></span></div><div>Brynlee decided she wanted to go skiing out side.

We have had a lot of changes with a new baby, Luke's new job- well career actually, and with me staying home full time. I had always looked forward to the day when I did not have to work or have most of the responsibility to work but now finally being here has taken some adjustments. I have had to remember that it takes a long time to get things done and I have had to adjust my expectations.
