The Wasatch Back/Ragnar relay

I love, Love, Love this man. Matt is such a great support to me. He just gives me the boost I need every time I see him at a race. Not to mention the amazing food he had pre-peard for me when I got to stop in at home and being a single parent for two days. He totally rocked it!

This was after my second run. I got to run 3.9 miles through Mountain Green. It was a short run but hot. I loved knowing I would get to see my family about 2 miles into it.It was so much fun to see my family. My Grandparent have always been such great support throughout my life. I loved getting to see my kids. Matt and my mom worked so hard to keep the ship in shape while I was gone.

This is a photo taken just before the race at the starting line. Our team started at 6:50 a.m. on friday morning. We left Mountain Green at 4:30 a.m. THis is not a time I am used to. I was really nervous about how my body was going to respond to no sleep and lots of running.

Surprisingly I did okay. I actually felt really great. I think the adrenalin kicked in and I felt like I could have run even more that I was suppose to.

Our team was called The Damn Soles in Distress. I was in van one with my good friends Angie and Amber, Amber's dad, Roger, her collage roommate, Stacie and her friend Shawna. We had such a blast. I don't think any of us slept in the car. We were to busy cheering for our runner or laughing with each other. I think Angie gets the best cheerleader award. She is so much fun to be with.

This is a photo of our whole team. Van one and Van two, all twelve of us at the finish line.

My first run was through Nibbly. It was a beautiful 6.7 miles. I loved watching wall the van's pass. There were some funny teams. The van's, my team cheering me on and the awesome views keep me very entertained.

I just love Ang!!

The finish line was at the Canyons in Park City. This photo is on the gondola ride up to the finish line.

I got to see my cute cousin Ashlee at the finish line. She ran the race with my uncle Russ in a different team. It was fun to see her. It made me excited to do the Spud man with a lot of our Baird family.

I think the giant medals make us feel like winners. Even though this is not a race to see how can finish first, It felt awesome to finish. When we got to Park City, I thought, I have just spent 24 hours in the car with 5 other people, run 14 miles and driven 188 miles going 20miles per hour. WOW!!!

3 boys

My sisters and I were sitting out on my driveway visiting and enjoying the sun. The boys were out with us. Walt has this thing with pillows. He loves to take the pillows from our bench inside and trow them all down the stairs. If we are outside he takes the pillows of the porch swing and throws them of the porch. This day the boys decided to lay down in the grass with them. It was so funny to watch. I think Hyrum was the first one to lay down and them Walt, because he likes to copy everything his brothers do. Eli didn't want to be left out so he joyend in to. We have four pillows and three boys. This was posing as a problem. Who gets to have the fourth pillow???? They were fighting over it for a while until Hyrum wanted it so bad, he was willing to loose his shorts over it the other boys let him have it!

Taylor's Birdie Shower

A little birdie told me a baby boy is on the way.

My sister Kali and I threw a baby shower for our sister Taylor last week. We had such a blast putting it all together, spending time with each other and cooing over cute baby things.

This is our good friend Darlene and my mom, Sydney.

Merredith and Kali

We had fabric, iron-on, buttons, embroidery floss and onsies. Look what cute things people came up with!

I love this photo of Mom, Taylor, Me and Kali. We love being together.

Tammy, Jill, Carly, Mckenzie, Kathy, Sissy and Angie

Merredith and Austin

I love this photo, it make's me happy. I just love my Grandma Baird so much. She is such a neat lady. I am thankful for our relationship.

I think kail's hand almost fell off piping all the little birdies on the cupcakes. They turned out supper cute!

We had really yummy salads, fruit, bread and lemonade. I was so excited to use the birdie plater.

We sent our guests home with a little nest full of gum balls. It always great to get together with friend and family to celebrate a new baby. We are getting excited for Taylor's sweet little bundle of joy to arrive.

Jane's New Hair Cut

Kali came to visit this week and we took advantage of her awesome haircutting skills. the last time Jane had her hair short was in kindergarten. She decided she was ready for a change and went short again.

What would we do without aunt Kali? She loves her new hair cut.

Graduation Time

Congratulations Dallen!!! I got to go to Dallen's graduation a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun to be with Taylor and Seth. I am always so grateful for my friendship with my siblings. I hope my kids enjoy being around each other as much as my siblings and I do.

Some times it is so weird to me that my little brothers are so tall and grown up.

Congratulations Eli!!! Eli graduated from pre-school at the end of May. He was so cute. The night before it was really warm outside and we had a hard time coming in. We went to bed a little to late. Eli was yawning through his whole program. He got to play some little bag pipes in the program. They learned about different states and countries. Eli was representing Scotland. I can't believe he is all done with pre-school. Time don't seem to be slowing down. I am excited for him to go to kindergarten. I think he is going to do great!
