Okay, this is a start. I have more pictures I want to post but am out of time for now. We are headed into The Lakes next weekend to finish out our summer fun and I hope I can get some posts up along with the rest of the summer pictures.
On the 24th of July we got to visit my family in Monticello. I love Monticello and have so many good memories with my cousin Sidney. I ran in the 5K and got 3rd place in my age group. It was a higher elevation, about 8,000 feet so it was a little challenging but good training for the 10K I did the following weekend at 10,000 feet. I thought I got 3rd place again but when the paper came out it turns out I got 1st place in my age group 26-39. Yeah!! I was so excited. I have to tell my friends Rachel and Bekah that that was for them because I didn't commit to the Marathon this year but I am trying to stay in shape so maybe someday........

Tim and Sid took us out on their awesome new boat. Thanks so much Tim, it was a fast trip but it was so fun. I even did a little cliff jumping again...he he. Matt said he hasn't seen my legs shake that bad since I rode the 500 up Sand Mountain.
Me and my favorite cousin Sidney. Our girls are the same age and it was so fun to see them together, it brought back lots of memories for us.


In July we had fun with friends at Fish Lake, fishing, boating, 4-wheelers and fireworks. The kids didn't like trolling as much as I did, I love to relax in the water but they got a little antsy. Our friend Doug was so nice to let us use his boat.

Time Flys when your having fun. In June we had a little reunion with Matt's family. The kids had so much fun swimming and playing with cousins. Aunt Julia was in from New York and heading to Colorodo. It was fun to see her. This is Matt's whole family minus Jabin, Dallas, and Yates who were still in the stream/mud.
Our summer vacation with the girls. I got to take my girls down to Cedar again to visit my good friend and her girls from Vegas. It was so fun to catch up and of course I got some great tips and recipes including yummy tempura vegtables. We got to see Comedy of Errors and Secret Garden the musical which was so beautiful. Thanks again for the great weekend Lynn and Berry! Love ya Jessica and girls!

Wow 1st and 3rd you are a animal=) I can barely run to the corner! Love the pictures. Your next trip is to idaho right right=)
Fabulous post! Kara's right - you are an ANIMAL! I'm proud of you, though. You did great!
The pictures of the kids are cute. I can't believe how much they've changed and that school starts on Monday. So sad.
Way to go on the running. I told Bekah and Rachel maybe I should take up running just so I can see them more often. It looks like you guys had a busy, but fun summer. Your family looks great as always.
Wow Ralaina you guys have been really busy. No wonder you haven't had time to blog. I miss you so much and our times/talks at the NFR. I'm glad that your family is doing well. Your kids are getting so big, and they are so cute (just like their MOM).
Awesome! Thanks for sharing those pictures.
I glad your stil alive lol Looks like a fun summer..Congrads on the running bet it help catch kids lol
CONGRATULATIONS! There must be a bug in the air....everyone in Altamont has started running, my sister-in-laws on both sides of the family are running too. I would have to agree with Kara....I would never be able to keep up! That is AWESOME, way to go. I love the picture of your family in the arch....very cool. My cousin Nathan is officially in Monticello. They just moved up by the Temple some place.
Crazy story....Nathan's insurance didn't transfer on their move, they had a pre-existing condition issue. They decided to have a Midwife help them through this pregnancy. The midwife ended up having to deliver a baby for someone who was having their first child, so Nathan got to deliver their baby at their house (which at the time was a trialer in a trailor park). His sister was there working for him during the summer and so she got to take the baby and deal with it while Nathan took care of his wife. AHHHHHH I would probably want to just pay out of pocket. Anyway, funny story. So if your cousin hears about a crazy man delivering a baby in a trailor park....it was Nathan. His brother says no one will want to go to him to clean their teeth after that, plus he rides his bike to work. He is a character. I am glad that you have had a fun summer. Can't wait for the rest of the updates.
Sorry, long comment.
Love the pictures! Congratulations on the running...very impressive. Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog.
