Halloween!!!

 For my moms annual Halloween dinner 

party, I was a cowgirl, Aspen was

the queen of hearts, Raider was a

ninja turtle and Trent was a party pooper

( he never dresses up). 

 Since it was suppose to be cold on Halloween day,

I decided to dress up as a warm werewolf.

Well, it ended up being hot... too hot to wear the 

costume, I was dying while I took the

kids around. I hate being hot.

Two of my siblings, Lacey=baseball player

Hyrum= Dora the explore.

Garth Brooks.........Best Night Ever!!!

 Trent and I 

 Me, Hyrum and Courtney 

 Garth Brooks was so good, he put

on one heck of a show. Trisha Yearwood

also came out on stage. They both

sang every song I wanted to hear. 

Trent and I. Hyrum and Courtney went to see 

Garth Brooks. It was amazing!! For real. the high

light of my year, I love love love this era of

country music. I am so so grateful that Trent 

took me on this wonderful date. This

is something I would totally do again, 

Halloween, almost

 My mother and I took my kids and

Zoey and Darcy to a pumpkin patch. They had

a mini corn maze, petting zoo, play ground,

a non-spooky spook ally and lots of pumpkins.

 Gardner Village to see the witches. 

This is the perfect picture of Aspen telling 

me one of her many stories/ideas and 

me listening ever so intensely.   

This is serious. When either one of my 

children talk to me, I have to stop, and look

at them or they get extremely frustrated. 

Fall Randomness

 Trent painting Aspens nails...cute

 When I don't work, we actually get

to go to church 

Its a really rare occasion that we take the kids

to a movie, especially at night.  

We went and saw Hotel Transylvania....

Of course they were showered and

ready for bed before we went. That's how we roll...

The Race......

 Kim and I got up early so we could have a spot by the fire

as everyone waits for the race to start.

I took Gu and water at miles nine, fifteen,

nineteen and twenty-three. Towards the end, I even ate a 

few slices of oranges. Oranges always taste better when I'm running. 

my goal was 3:45:00, I kept faster then that pace till mile fifteen and then I 

started to slow down. I did not pace myself very well. I ran the first 

half of the marathon faster then the second half, it should have

been the other way around. By mile twenty-one I was 

going much slower then planned. Next time...I will

run smarter, not faster or stronger...just smarter.

 Holy cow, it felt so amazing to cross that finish line!!! 

All the Turners were there cheering me on, it felt good.

St. George Marathon

 The whole Turner family came to watch me run

the St. George Marathon. In between planning and

packing for the trip I was worried that I might leave

some of my running stuff at home, so, I

laid out all my stuff days before.

 The first stop... The Convection center to pick up

my bib number, and timing chip

The kids made posters for me, I loved it!!! (Seriously,

it helps seeing a sign just for you in the last few miles)

Football

Raider played Itty Bitty Football

this year!!! It was so fun to watch

him learn the very basics of football. 

To say he loved it, would be an understatement.
