Over Load... In Pictures

Well July and has come and gone and August is half way over as well! I can't believe it. July is always one of my favorite months because there are always events going on left and right! I love all of the fireworks, time spent with family, and anything else that happens. But for the sake of your sanity and mine I will just post about the high-lights.
July 24th I ran the 10K. I won't lie, I did not feel well going into the race and it wasn't one of my favorites but I can smile for the camera. Also, as I started the race I realized I had forgot my race number and my race chip, so my official time was never recorded. Oops.

Also, it was kind of funny because I was the only one in my family who ran the 10k while everybody else ran the 5k and they all got medals. It made us laugh and I thought it was great.

After the race my sister in-law and I took my 93 yr old grandpa to the parade. Every time a Model A car passed by he would tell us how he used to own one and how his brother Dawn has one still today. It was awesome. It amazes how much history he knows. :)

July 25th we went down to St. George to enjoy some fun in the sun. This was our first night right after we got there enjoying dinner.
Our plans changed the first night because it was down pouring so we played DDR with 4 dance pads. Also, Brighton bought me DDR High School Musical Version and the music was awesome! If anybody ever wants to sing and dance at the same time, come on over!!!
The next day we went on some hikes in Snow Canyon. Here is my sister Steph conquering the mountains.
This is my Dad, Brighton, and my brother Nelson at the top of one of our climbs. Check out that back ground. It was so gorgeous!
Here is my sister Michelle, Me, and my sister Steph.

Brighton doing what I love most about him.
One of the hikes lead us to some caves. It was amazing how cold it was in the caves compared to the 100 degree temperatures out side of the caves.
At the place we stayed we had one of the pools all to ourselves. I think we had the pool all to ourselves because we chased all of the other families away.We played a game of spoons where we had all of the spoons thrown in the pool. We were all hard core with our goggles if you couldn't tell. I won the first game of spoons but we played ultimate frisbee after that and my team did not win. Sorry guys.
The next day we hiked the narrows.
My sister in-law Heather, Me, and my sister Steph.
We found some sweet rocks to jump off of.
And most of my family.

There are still more photos and things to post about but I will have to postpone those until another day. July was so fun but it went so quickly!!! Where has time gone. However, life is great and things are going well. And best of all, I am off to bed. :)
Here is a little video for your/my entertainment. (We aren't pros.)
