It's spring which means time to start mowing the lawn again.
Can you spot Ragnar?
There she is!
Magic!
The Dino Half.
Under trained but still had fun!
Time to catch the bus!
Kent was a halfer with me this year! Both our first time doing this half!
I knew I wasn't going to get the time I wanted so I stopped at all the cows and face timed Shaunee them.
Mom did the 5k
Our Dino gang.
Mom, me, Kent and Wendy Whiting, and Rendi Freimuth.
Our neighbors decided it was a good idea to set the cotton in their yard on fire.. which set our yard on fire. Thankfully Derek was home to put his "dance dance revolution" skills to use and prevent our house catching on fire, because our neighbors weren't doing anything to put it out. Derek had to call 911.
Of course this cute face.
Derek re-discovered his magic cards and have gotten the Clegg kids into playing it
Watching Taz for my parents. We had to spend most of our time at their house because Taz's eyes would get so full of green gunk it was sad. Something in my yard was getting his allergies going.
Running with 2 dogs is a lot easier than running with 2 dogs.
Ragnar got sprayed by a skunk on an adventure with Derek and his metal detecting..
So we tried a trick from Austin and put pb on the wall.. it worked for like a minute.

The girls wanted to take grandpa treasure hunting, and luckily there were a few along the trail we were able to find on a pre-dinner walk.
Enjoy.
May 11/12
Lunch stop on our way out to Vernal.
Since we left early in the day this year, we took a drive up Dry Fork Canyon to McKonkie Ranch.
It was too rough for my mom but my dad came with.
Race day.
I had to defer my half entry to next year since that good ol' pneumonia basically killed all my training. I had to stop to breathe 5 times and each time someone would try to encourage me. I know they didn't know I'm still fighting a lung infection that kills people, but in any run I participate in, it bugs me. That's why I never say anything to people I pass unless I ask where they got a certain running item because I also want it.
Anyways, somehow it only took me a half hour. I was sure it was going to take me longer with how often I had to stop. Even with more and more people doing this run each year, somehow I still placed in my age group.. I must not know how to tell people's ages because I was pretty sure a lot of 30-35 year old's passed me.
Post race geocaching! The Field House Museum was free that day as apart of a whole festival deal. Bonus!
I wanted to do some hot air balloon rides but the weather was not kind.
May 14
I made a deal with a student that if he worked more on being an advocate for himself, I would take him to see this mural in Ogden at the end of the class. He has some strange fascination with the Mona Lisa... he says it scares him, but he's all about seeing it. Here he's high-5-ing her face..
Mallory and I.
May 16
Jaxson's play. He was a wickersham brother in Seussical the Musical Jr.
Remember that shed Derek made last year? Well, while cleaning up some of the extra wood ends, we now have an outdoor Jenga game (yes I know it's 3 per layer but when I was cleaning up this is how it got stacked).
May 17/18
State Track
We had 13 kids in 10 different events. The best showing at state since my first year. And 10 of those kids are underclassman. They brought home lots of medals, numerous top 15 places, and one new school record in the women's 800m.
It's a great time to be a Laker.
May 19
Royals game with Kymmber and Blake.
Elise was all about hanging out with Kymmber who is her new best friend FYI. Like seriously.. she talks about our "big cousin" all the time.
After the win Elise booked it to the bottom to get signatures. She was all about getting them and didn't want to wait for us.
Monday May 21 Graduation (side note, still waiting on pics with other kiddos because this one with my eyes closed will not do)
Tuesday May 22 Track Banquet
Wednesday May 23Jordan got an award for his GPA, but we had to stay entertained.
