{Unfortunately Kurt missed it because he was still up at Moroni's Camp with the Young Men in our ward.}
Biggest news of the day: Emma Lynn RAN!
{And placed 5th}
This is SO huge for her. Every year she has just watched. She was very timid and dainty in her running. I stood at the finish line so she just had to run to me. By the time she finished the race she was pretty overwhelmed with the emotion of it all and was near tears. I scooped her up in a big hug with lots of positive encouragement and we bypassed any drama. I am so proud of her!
Rooster was super cute and so happy to run.
She was the top placer for our family that day and got 4th.
Spencer and Braxton were comical. There might be some competition going on there. {grin} Braxton ran with his arm stretched out across Spencer so he couldn't pass him. Spencer was getting frustrated with it so the last 10 feet he grabbed onto Braxton's shirt and was pulling on it. In the end they both finished the same and we had a good laugh.
Austin was obedient. He didn't worry about winning and just had fun. I love this running face.
We tried to get a picture of the cousins afterwards (everyone was there except Molly). It is what it is.
{Kenzie is our family favorite in this picture!}
We went to lunch with the Rufs and Huntsmans at Wingers afterwards. The kids and I checked out the Kids Fair after lunch. The kids had a good time. These were the biggest hit.
There has been a lot of play and talk about hunting since then. nice.
Good weather, Good company, Good day. Thanks everyone.

Thank YOU and your fam for the awesome day. The race was a blast (we're hoping that it's not the BEST talent of the extended family but one of MANY) and for going to lunch. I love that we all do stuff together...mostly...occassionally...this once...
Glad you caught the pushing and shirt pulling on camera!
How wonderful! Emma we are so proud of you! Congratulations girl! Everyone looks great! Lovin those antlers! What did your daddy say when he saw all those anthlers?
I just read your blog again for the first time in forever! It was fun to catch up on what you've been doing! You are so good to document your family's life. You will never regret doing it. As I was reading back over some of the posts, my heart was touched when I read about your release from YW's. I especially loved what your mom said about how easy it is for your identity to get wrapped up in callings, etc. and yet we should already know that being a daughter of God is already an amazing identity all by itself. Now I see where you get all of your wisdom. I'm glad that you had such an awesome birthday, too. What a great gift to yourself and to so many others. And thanks again for making the special trip over last Sunday...I'm still bummed that we missed you guys! Love you! Tami
Love the pictures (as always). My favorite is Ruth with her ribbon. SO proud! It was so fun to hang out with you and the kids!! Thanks for a un day. We shall do it again soon!
