More From My Crazy Weekend



So after some face book hunting I found all the pictures Brittney took from our crazy weekend. Enjoy!!!

My Weekend Full of Fun

So this weekend was way crazy, plus this week. On Friday night I had a ward BBQ which can be described as highly entertaining. You have all been in the singles ward seen so you can picture it. If not just think of the movie "The Singles Ward"

On Saturday morning I ran the Farmington Days 10k. And I guess I dont know my own name. I did not see it on the list of top three finishers per age group so I left for another commitment. Well come to find out I got third. My time was 52 min and 27 sec.

After the race I spent the day at Lagoon with some friends.




Just chilling!!!!






Us on the Log Flume. No I am not dating Adam though I have a crush on him!!

Dont ask but a brownie sounded way good for lunch.


After Lagoon I went to Brittney's BBQ birthday party. We all had to do a funny jump off the diving board.

Prince Family 4th of July BBQ


As we do every year, I have only missed a few times, we got together for a big Prince family BBQ. Heidi and Derek and the Brockbank family we greatly missed you. I wanted to take random snap shots the entire time but my battery died. The pictures I got are from our fun playing with day time fireworks. The BBQ was so much fun. We had to deal with a little bit of weather issues. It kept threatening to thunderstorm on us. But a side from a little wind and some rain it was fun. The best part was watching Jared try and do Snapits

Stain Glass in Progress







So I have been working hard on making my stain glass windows. I have completed a few things so far. Oh yea the one to the side is what I cut my self on and had to get sitches. I was cutting the little pieces for the wheat.



This one is a actually a part of bigger piece. But I
can only fit so much glass on the soldering board
at a time. As this piece grows I will post more.
Please dont ask what is going to be or what its
for its a secret.

This is the second item I completed. Its a jewlery box. (Ha Ha I couldnt tell until that I had left the glue bottle in the box) Again this one is a surprise.

Happy 4th

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. There are 5 days in the year that I look forward to so much every year that the days approaching it seem to drag on and on. I think that I am worse then a little kid. Ask my family about Christmas and they will agree. If you where wondering here is my list of days (and in order):

- Christmas/Christmas Eve

-My Birthday

- The Fourth

- Thanks Giving

- Halloween


I love the 4th for a few reasons. First being what it represents. I love to wake up each fourth knowing that thanks to the sacrifices of our forfathers and others we are free to live the life we choose. We are free to make the best of ourselves. To choose our own religion, career, etc. I love knowing that. I love knowing that we also live free from fear. And second I love all the fun traditions. Ha thats the key if your where wondering I love any holiday or day with family traditions tied to it.


Ever sense I started running in High School I have run in the Kaysville City Rotary 4th of July 5/10k race. I have always run the 5k but this year I thought whey not do the 10k. Its a normal workout for me any ways. I got 5th in my age group and 18th over all in womens. I was a little sad but I did PR. My time was 52 min and 42 sec.
Here are some picture my parents took.
