"THE CHALLENGE"

The challenge I gave MYSELF that is. So on Thursday I saw a sign for a 2 mile Fun Run, the run was on Saturday. I knew Sophie was coming up for the weekend and she has been working out too so I decided to text her and see if she was up for the challenge also. She was!! So I thought to myself, Why not push myself a little harder than I usually do and see how good I could do? Well I was talking to Lacey on Friday night and she wanted to run too. So we decided to meet @ the park for registration at 6:30am. (Yeah on a Saturday and we paid to enter!) Well we got registered and then posed for pictures of course, while everyone else warmed up. You can tell all the pictures before the race cause my face isn't RED! Anyways we lined up for our race about 7:30am. Well not to brag, but I am very proud of myself. I was the first women to finish the race!!! I think I came in overall in 5th. But for some reason they put me in my sisters age division and I got 1st place!! Sophie was so mad cause she got second and Lacey got third. I didn't care cause I would have got first no matter what. Sorry Soph. But what a fun and crazy morning. We got done with the awards at 9:30 and had to be to a parade with all the kids by 10:00.






















So here are some pictures of the parade. Logan thought he was having the best day of his life! The little fire truck came right up to him, and he liked it up until that point. The picture is right when he's running away. haha Also someone came and gave him a stuffed animal. He threw it back at them. It was so funny. Then we got to have a family council with Everyone up on Sunday. Not really a fun subject but we knew we had to pull together. And that is exactly what we are doing!! I love all of you. (We can also use prayers right now, if anybody wants to pray for us.) Anyways here are all the Sherwood cousins. What a hectic weekend. But it was definately nice to end it with my family all here together! Families can be Together Forever

Hi! I'm a friend of Summer's (from her ward) and I noticed your name on her links. I grew up in Joseph City with your husband and haven't seen him in almost 15 years (or something)! Tell him HI for me, will you?

Cute family!
