Slow Sunday stuff.

Hey everyone.  Church was cancelled again this morning cause it snowed for an hour and we got a 1/2” of snow.  Pretty hilarious to all of you Utahns I’m sure, but we take all we can get up here.  So, due to the fact that I’m up and have nothing to do, I figured I’d put a few things on here.

Here is Meags at a race last weekend.  It was a 15 mile trail run in the Olympic Natn’l forest.  She ran for a while with a woman who finds it difficult to train because she has a daughter.  A daughter, as in one daughter.  As soon as Meags mentions she has four kids the conversation turns to the weather.

These races are great.  Runners are freaky people on the whole, but trail runners are pretty cool.  No matter what time of day it is they always look like they just crawled out of bed. Their pre-race food consists of Red-Bull, carrots, and a ham sandwich, while their post-race food consists of a can of Monster, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and a bag of chips.  And they never stretch.  For the first time ever, I actually find this sport somewhat attractive.

Work is a little slow right now, so I’ve been able to spend more time with the kids, especially Wil and Hazel, and that’s fantastic.  We went to the river the other morning.  It was fun til Wil’s boot got stuck in the mud, which caused him to fall over and fill the other with water.  He was not happy with that at all.

Man we’ve had GREAT weather up here lately.  Aside from the bit of snow today, its been pretty sunny.  Here are a few shots from when we had G&D’s kids while they were off in Hawaii.  We went to the Ft. Vancouver-ish area of town.  Hence the barrack-style buildings in the background. So historical.

So that’s a lot of pictures.  Hopefully it’ll post.  Hope everyone is well.  Looks like you had a pretty good party Lyd.  You look extremely at home on that saddle.
