Tour de St. George

On Saturday, March 28th was the Tour de St. George bike ride. This was my first ride and Trent's second. Mark, Teresa's husband, his friend Richard and wife, Billy Jo also rode with us. I ended up riding the 30 mile ride, Trent did the 65 mile ride and everyone else did the century (100 miles).

It was a great time! Turns out I was the first female to finish the 30 mile ride which was pretty cool. Trent was able to complete the 65 in about 5 hours and everyone else was about 7 and a half.

It was so fun to start with such a huge crowd of people. It was close to about 300 riders. These rides are definitly addicting, so there will be many more to come.

Taran's Soccer Games

This past weekend, Trent's nephew, Taran, was in St. George for some pre-season soccer games with his team. (Bingham High School). We were able to go and watch his game against Snow Canyon High School and Dixie High School.

He has really become a great 'keeper'! Trent is definitly a proud uncle.

Trent's First Ride

So in the past 9 months or so, Trent and I have really gotten in to road biking. I never thought that I would be into it, neither did he. However we have both really enjoyed it.

On Saturday February 28th Trent entered into his first road race. He decided to sign up for the 50 mile ride. The day of the race I drove him to the start location and sent him on his way. It was amazing to see so many riders in one location. There was every kind of rider possible as well - first timers, weekend warriors, pro and semi-pro.

After about 2 hours, I met up with him at what I thought would have been the half way point. Once I was able to find him and give him some more water and energy bars. He then headed his way back to finish out the ride.

Trent's parents and myself met him at the finish line to cheer him on. After he was done, he looked at his GPS and realized that he didn't go 50 miles...he went 58. Turns out the course was not marked well at all and he ended up passing his designated turn around point. I thought 50 miles was impressive, never mind 58!

Overall it was great to see him participate in such a fun event! PS, If his photo looks like he was in some pain...he was. He was a bit sore.

Monkey Quilt

I wanted to share some pictures of my latest quilt that I made for my dear friend Kelly. She just had her third baby - Beck Robert Patrick Healey - and I wanted to make something for her that represented her style, yet would be something that Baby Beck could use past his baby years. I had a great time making this quilt! It turned out better than I expected.

Holiday 2008

Season's Greetings!

Halloween 2008

This Halloween, I decided to make Missy Lou a costume. Earlier this year, the movie Underdog came out. When I saw the movie, I knew that I had to make the costume for Missy.

She was a pretty good sport about it. She let me take it on and off her alot when I was making it. She even didn't mind the cape that was attached.

On Halloween we took her over to Trent's parents house so they could see Underdog. They loved the costume.

See, I don't need a kid - I have a dog!
