Bear Lake Classic

This summer we went to good old Garden City for the annual Bear Lake Classic Triathlon.

Once we got there I got right to setting up camp. Well, putting stuff in the tent at least.

Ky sitting back directing where things should go.

Once everything was done we went on out on the lake for a little boat ride.

Ky loved being on the boat . There was just so much to look at!

Uncle Austin even let Ky sit on his bulletbike. That look on her face is trouble!

Race Day!

Ben getting in the zone and ready for the swim. Go #3135!

Done with the swim and headed up the beach to the transition area.

Starting the bike portion. Um, I think that bike might be a little too small. He's gonna get a workout, especially since it's a mountain bike!

Done biking, now on to the run!

The finishers! Nice job guys!

Looks like someone is ready to be a little triathlete! Like Daddy like Daughter!

Run for Reading

Kaysville City Rotary Club held their annual July 4th Run for Reading 10k to kick off the festivities that day.


We started at the Davis High track.


Me and my little running partner.

Not too far from the finish!

Ky just kickin' back enjoying the ride. She even got in a pretty good nap. Her new jogging stroller must be pretty comfy.

Crossing the finish line!

I'm An Iron Girl!

For my first Mother's Day I decided it would be fun to spend it at the beautiful Lowe's resort at Lake Las Vegas. We just had to squeeze in my first triathlon while we were there too!

Ky's first road trip! She did SO good the whole time in the car.

She even talked Ben into letting her drive when he got tired.

The Lowe's Lake Las Vegas Resort!
That night we went swimming at the resort. Ky even loved being in the water for the first time.

She's a natural!

Swimmin' with Dad.

Race Day!

Here's the swim start on the beach. It was SO beautiful and the weather was perfect!

Into the lake!!

Just Keep Swimming! Just Keep Swimming!

Done swimming and on to the bike!

I have to say the bike was my favorite part. The course was so pretty!

Comin' down the home stretch!

My first triathlon medal!

Ky was pretty pooped after our fun fulled weekend and took a few naps on the way home.

This Time Goin' Solo

This was Ben's second year doing the XTERRA race, but this time he did it all by himself. I thought about it earlier in the year, but quickly changed my mind when I realized I couldn't race with a bun in the oven!

He's in here somewhere among the sea of swimmers!


Comin' up out of the water to get on his biking gear.

Headed off to ride the mountain trails. Go #801!

Parking his bike and getting on his running shoes.

He did it again!

Now that the race is done, time to relax!

The support team!

Moab Run

We decided to do the Canyonlands Half Marathon in Moab with each other and some of the gals I work with. It happened to fall on the same weekend as our 2nd anniversary so we made a trip out of it.

We stayed just outside of the main part of Moab at Arches Campground.


We had one of the cutest little cabbins and they were super cheap! I'll definately stay there again.








Saturday morning we woke up bright and early and headed down to the elementary school.

This is where they shuttled the runners up the canyon to the race starts. I have to say the bus ride seemed like it took forever! When the bus stopped they came on the speaker and said it was where all the 5k runners got off. We were running the half marathon so we had to go even further up the canyon!

Once we got off the bus we had to walk a 1/4 mile or so to get to the race start.

Here's everyone getting ready to run. We made our way towards the back of the group and if you look WAY ahead you can see the yellow start banner. There were TONS of people!

Starting the race!

Still have a smile on my face.

Just under half way there. The miles were actually going by pretty quick.

Me and my running partner! It made it so much fun doing it together.

Almost out of the canyon! It was so beautiful the entire time.

Mile 12! Just over one mile left to go!

Turning off the main road and headed toward the finish.

We did it! I was pretty pooped by the end, but it was worth it!

Of course later that night we just HAD to go to Zax! It was our anniversary afterall!
