We have been running since we had our kids - in every way! Life is like a marathon - full of uphills and downhills, water stops, taking the time to stretch, beautiful views, fast sprints, slow walks, and yes, sore muscles. But we are thankful for all of it because when we reach the finish line at the end of each day we know that it was all worth it!

Happy 4th of July!

This day is always a full day but it is always so much fun!  It starts with the Murray 5k race and then we're off to Great Grandma Erickson's for a big pancake and egg breakfast in her backyard. From there we go over to Kevin's parent's house for swimming at the clubhouse and a barbeque.  This year we decided to go to the Sandy parade (around 5 pm) to see the float that I designed for our stake.  It was so fun to see how it all came together!  After that we ran back over to Great Grandma's house for homemade icecream and fireworks.  We sit on her neighbor's front lawn for a perfect view of the Murray park fireworks show.  This year my girls got to try sparklers for the first time.  (I know, where have we been?)  Lucie especially enjoyed the ride on the toy motorcycle with her cousin Annika.  As usual, Lucie is taking control...
