 AS YOU CAN TELL BY OUR PEOPLE WE WERE SHORT THREE RUNNERS, SO RYAN, ME, LIZ, DAN AND CHRIS RAN EXTRA LEGS TO MAKE UP FOR OUR MISSING RUNNERS

I HAVE A WHOLE NEW APPRECIATION FOR THE ULTRA TEAMS!!!

OUR SET UP

I loved having the mattress in the back. 

It made sleeping and stretching so much easier.

RACE OVER, HAIR GONE

PHEW!!!

WE DID IT!!!

THE FINISH LINE

Maximus "Greatest"

Ryan gave Max to me the first Christmas after we were married.

Max was the ultimate "Marley and Me" Dog. 

We nicknamed him "HOODINI" because he could escape any tie, lock, fence or pen.

We had to bail him out from the pound more than our share of times.

Just recently we recieved a call from the A.F. rec center to come and get Max

because he had decided to go to swim lessons.

Max loved to play.  We could put sticks in the tree and he would climb the tree to fetch them

He loved fetching sticks from the lake too.  When he would get tired of swimming out to get the stick he would try and hide it somewhere we couldn't find it, because he knew if we threw it out there he would not be able to resist going and getting it again.

Max loved to go rollerblading with me.  When I would get ready to go he would get so excited to go with us.

So I would leash him to the stroller and he would help me pull the kids along.

Max was a goer. He never stopped enjoying fun.  He loved to Hike, Swim, Rollerblade, Fetch, and Play.

I will always remember

how much love one little boy had for his dog.

I am having a hard time believing he is not with us.

Maximus,

 you trully were THE GREATEST and we will miss you.

I will always remember you.



Hi my name is Lisa and I am a picture FOOL! - click on older post to see more pics of Moab.

Ryan went to work in Moab for two weeks, so the kids and I thought it would be fun to take the trailer down and have some fun.

The first day we had to wait for Ryan to finish working before we could go to the RV park so we played at a skate park. Carter thought they were giant slides all over the place. Caroline tried to save him, but he didn't want to be saved.

The next day, we went to Hole N The Rock.




THE REDNECK LAWNMOWER
(looks like a good idea to me)







Kaitlyn was totally disgusted by the bulls undercarriage. LOL!

THE PETTING ZOO

KENS LAKE


I saw these two and thought, "oh dear, my kids don't know how to have any fun."

So I had to get really creative......



It started by throwing sticks in the water to Max.

I took pictures and they realized they could look pretty silly....

And then they started jumping and posing

and the rest is history........

Carter decided to sit in the chair and watch the show.......

and then we discovered what makes Ken's Lake so super cool........

Ryan came by after he was done working. We were glad he could play with us for a little while.

All worn out and ready for bed.

FUN AT THE POOL

I didn't know Bridger could do front and back flips...AHHH!

On Sunday, Ryan had the day off and I have never been to Lake Powell so we decided to take a road trip to check it out.

We found this pretty field of sunflowers by Monticello.

and I just had to get some pictures.

THE FERRY BOAT TO BULLFROG

Carter wanted to play and jump into the water. So we had to restrain him.

THE BEACH

Kaitlyn and Carter waiting to be dunked in the Lake before getting back in the truck.

Bridger and Kaitlyn both lost a tooth in Moab.

This is Bridger's first tooth lost.

and

Kaitlyn's sixth (I think)

Funny video of Bridger trying to stay on a beach ball in the hot tub.
