Fun Run!

So this is the family!  All of us in the picture ran in the Ralph Robertson Memorial Fun Run!  This is the first year that Jacob got a medal.  He got third in his age group for the mile run.  Mark won the mile this year!  Woo Hoo for him!  I ran the 5K for the first time in a loooooong time.  It hurt.  I have been doing this low carb thing for so long that I forgot that I would need them for the race.  I felt like I was all out of energy about half way through besides wishing I could stop for a potty break.  All I could think of for the last half of the race was. " I am burning fat, I am burning fat, I am burning fat."  It didn't feel good but I finished with a time of 28.46.  My goal was to do it under 30 minutes so I was happy for that.  There weren't as many people there for the race as there usually is.  I am not sure why, I was just glad that the TV cameras for the Polyg show didn't show up.

Mustang Days!

 Rachael, Eli and Eve came home for Mustang Days this past week.  Somehow or other the only picture I got was of Eve.  She is a beautiful baby.  I can truly say that she looks just like her mother did when she was a baby.  She is such a little fat rabbit.  She feels so good to hug.

 Mark was on the Seminary Float in the parade.  He spent many hours helping Mrs. Crosby to build it too.  It was all about Service, hence, the yellow helping hands T-shirts.  Mark looks like he was working really hard leaning on that shovel.

Jacob got to be on a float also.  Their team didn't win very many games this year but their coach was very nice and got a float together for them to ride on.  I enjoyed the parade very much.

Another big event of the week was that Jacob got to be in the follies singing with other kids in his grade singing some cowboy songs.  They did a great job and I think he enjoyed himself very much. Here is my thoughts for the follies for next year.  Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be in charge but I miss the melodrama! WE have lots of people who are very talented in Lovell so....

Tuesday should be "Lovell's got talent".  Have three judges and before hand let the people tell them if they are just a joke or a real talent.  Give all the real talent people all the points possible and then they all tie and no feelings are hurt.  The people who are joking can have some great dialogue with the judges and there can be audience participation with card prompting helpers.

Wednesday and Thursday can be the Melodrama with the two traditional dance groups, the Dollies and the Rockettes.  I think this idea will actually get more people to come and watch and be involved.  Some people love watching the talent show that the show has become and others really miss the melodrama.  This way everyone can be happy!
