Night of the Running Dead

Nick and I both participated in the Night of the Running Dead 5k, with my sister-in-law Shelly, my sister Lori and her friend Megan. It was a fund-raiser for the Huntsman Cancer Center. We had fun dressing up like Zombies! There were some incredible costume jobs there and some who just came as humans. These are our before pictures:And our after picture: (when we really felt half-dead!)

School Choir

Sadie has joined the school choir this year, and they had their first performance yesterday. They sang at the school district's 100 birthday celebration.Way to go Sadie!!! You did great!

Tree House Museum

Sadie's class had a fabulous field trip to the Tree House Museum in Ogden. They have so much wonderful stuff to see and do! One of the best parts was the opportunity for the kids to act out a play: Cinderella. Sadie got to be one of the wicked step-sisters! Her favorite part was dancing with the prince. :o)

Sister Time

I had a wonderful trip back to North Carolina to visit my sweet sister, her hubby and my adorable new nephew! We had fun shopping, painting pumpkins, painting toenails, baking, scrapbooking, playing with baby, walking and of course, talking.Thanks for putting up with all the giggles and messes Ryan!

First Day of School

This year is my first year with all the kids in school all day long; Sadie in first grade, Brandon in fourth, and Nate in Junior High (yikes!) How did I suddenly become old enough to have children this age?

The kids are loving school, though Nate's not exactly thrilled about all the geometry homework. :o) I'm proud of each of them and so glad to be their mom.

Shakespeare Festival

Yes, I am just barely getting around to posting about this... As usual, I'm a bit behind. :o)
We saw all six plays! My personal favorite, and Nick's too, was definitely Midsummer Nights Dream. Though Romeo and Juliet is always good, and Richard III was surprisingly entertaining. (I must admit I tend to not expect much from the histories.) We also loved the Music Man and laughed like crazy through Noises Off. Glass Menagerie was definitely more somber, but very moving.
If you've never been before, it's so worth the trip! They do such a professional job; costumes and sets included. It's truly a magical experience... and the cream cheese tarts are scrumptious!

Special thanks to my Mother-In-Law for the tickets!!!
