The 'Real' Real Housewives

In October I ran in the Las Vegas Ragnar Relay. We had a blast and I can't believe that I actually did it! I was recruited by my bestie Holly and in turn recruited my sis-in-law Stephanie. Our team was full of other people that I didn't know but soon became really close with, that happens after spending 32 hours in a Suburban together! Our team did awesome and though I didn't love it while I was running, I was stoked after it was over and I hope I can do it again!

This was our team name, after my fave TV series!

Van #1 minus Kim who was running her leg!

Steph running her first leg of the relay, about 7 miles! (we each had three legs we had to run)

Two "hot" moms! I use that phrase loosely! Alright,we know we weren't that hot but we had matching sunglasses, okay!

Our whole team after crossing the finish line! We finished in 32 hrs 14 min which placed us 14th in our division! Not bad for a bunch of moms and Ragnar rookies!

What a cool experience! I was so glad I got to do this with Holly and Steph! Thanks girls!

Jackson River Trip June '09

This post is a little late, but we went on the funnest trip in June to Jackson Hole. We go every year with my family and it is such a blast. Travis and I decided to leave the girls home with grandparents this year so we were kidless! Not something that happens very often so we sure enjoyed ourselves, although we missed them tons! We camp in the canyon right next to the river and we float down the Snake at least once a day. My family has a raft and my stepdad and brother are really experienced oarmen. We hang around the campfire at night and roast hotdogs and marshmallows. This year a few of Shad's friends came up and kept the party going! Since we didn't have our kids with us, we thought that we would take our two dogs and they loved it. They don't get out much lately so they had a good time in the great outdoors. It turns out that everyone that came this year had their dogs. We had quite the canine camp! We can't wait to do this again next summer.

The famous "Antler Arch" in downtown Jackson. We had really full bellies from eating at Bubba's BBQ- our favorite!

Shad and Stormy. Amanda couldn't make it this year and we were sad! It would have been even more FUN with her there!

Dave and Buddy. 120 lbs of yellow fur! (Buddy, not Dave:)

This isn't our boat but just look how BIG the river was this year!

Us and our mutts. They aren't showing their best side. They are actually quite cute from the front!
