The 4th of July weekend!

The weekend of the 4th of July we went up beautiful Brighton Canyon and spent some time at the Johnson's cabin (ski lodge). It was gorgeous, from the mountains to the lakes to the meadows. We thoroughly enjoyed nature, starting with a hike up to Lake Mary (2 miles round trip). And then canoeing, and of course eating all day long! So much fun, and what an amazing place to make memories with an amazing family. And of course...ending the day with s'mores :)

The 24th of July!

Some pictures of the 24th of July with our wonderful family. We had a blast lighting off fireworks in the backyard. Top off the night with s'mores and you've got a pretty perfect celebration!

May 8, 2010

It was a great day. So many friends and family showed up to run or walk for my team. Thanks to all of you for your support. And thanks to those of you who couldn't be there, but donated $ in my name. I love you all. The race was awesome, as you can see. Over 17,000 participants! The weather was perfect and everyone had a good time. I was able to be in the survivors parade this year and stand on the steps for the annual picture. It was quite inspiring to be there among so many survivors. After the race the family gathered at Shannon's home for a yummy birthday brunch, hanging out, and then birthday cake and ice cream. Later that evening the adults went to a movie and dinner while the girls danced and played under the supervision of Emrey, Haley and Liv. We sure miss Tay and Susie (and kids) at times like this. But it was wonderful, and I'm really grateful for my many and wonderful blessings.

RACE FOR THE CURE!

The Salt Lake City RACE FOR THE CURE will be held on my birthday, May 8th. I want to invite everyone to join my team "Shirlene's Shufflers" and run/walk the 5K or 1 mile. This is a really great event to save lives and end breast cancer forever. Up to 75% of the funds raised from this race remain in our community to support local grants for breast cancer screening, treatment and awareness programs. The remining 25% is sent to the Komen headquarters in Dallas to help fund research grants programs. Last year there were over 17,000 participants and it was awesome to be a part of the "pink sea" of runners. Thanks to those of you who have already signed up! I'll be looking for you in front of Dicks at the Gateway prior to the start of the race. Thanks for being on my "team" whether you run or not. Your "cheering me on" from the sidelines with your love and prayers is the greatest blessing of my life.
