Eclipse Fun!

The Brophy's came for a great visit and it just happened to fall on the day Eclipse was released. We opted out of the midnight showing and went Wednesday night. We left to get to Pierre's a bit early, just in case it was busy (The midnight showing did in fact sell out).

Heidi and I heaing to the theater.

Heidi just happened to have 4 shirts (by mistake actually), but we thought it would be funny to have the guys slip the extras on for a picture. Jason added some 'extras' of his own.

Pierre's. After seeing the size of the theater, Heidi said she could understand why it sold out the night before. Hey, it may be small, but we love it! We used to have to drive to Jackson, Rexburg, or Idaho Falls to see a show. Now we have a one screen theater right in the middle of Victor! We're moving up in the world. We were quite shocked though that for the small size of the audience, they were quite vocal throughout the show. All in all it was definitely a night worth remembering. I'm glad these movies give us one more excuse to get togther. Hmm, when is Breaking Dawn 1 going to be released?

Magic Butterfly.

The kids found a butterfly outside and were convinced that it must be magic because it wouldn't fly away. I'm convince that it must've been something other that magic. At any rate, they sure enjoyed holding it and taking their picture with it.

Daddy Daughter Derby!

Cambrie participated in her 1st Pinewood Derby as part of Activity Days. It was a Daddy Daughter Derby. They worked on the car together. Cambrie looked online to find the design she wanted, then Jason helped her with the cutting and sanding. Cambrie picked out the colors and painted it mostly on her own. I got the movie Down and Derby from the library to help get them in the spirit.
Cambrie even wanted to take car themed treats, so we made these banana cars with marshmallow wheels.
And here is the car. She won the award for "Luckiest Car."

Number 3!

The 3rd event for the year ended up being the Teton Dam Marathon 10K. I was hoping to do the marathon relay, but couldn't find 6 people willing to do it until it was already all full, so my friend Cathy and I ended up running the 10K.
Here we are before, even though we drove an hour to get there, I still look like I just woke up.
We waited after to watch our friend Lyndsey finish. She ran the whole 26.2 mile marathon. She did awesome!.
Afterwards. Not sure if I'll do this one again. There was way more uphill than I like, but we did get these cool medals.

Amazing!

On June 19th, 2010 we headed to the Spud Drive-In to support an amazing local woman. Her name is Lisa Smith-Batchen and she was finishing the last leg of her Running Hope Through America run. She ran 50 miles in each of the 50 states (yep, that's 2500 miles total) in just over 2 months. I thought it would be nice to go just to show support for such an incredible feat, but once we were there, I was really struck by the magnitude of what she was doing. It was unreal watching her finish. You could feel the emotion and power in the air. She is a true inspiration. She is truly selfless, and truly working so very hard to raise money for orphans across America.
You can join the group on facebook. They have a new motivational thought or quote nearly every day. If you want, make a donation - every dollar helps. The goal is $1 million, and I don't think she's reached that yet, but I know she will not stop until she does.

Waiting for the runners to reach the Spud.

The girls in the crowd. An amazingly uplifting experience.

Sister Mary Beth ran 1000 of the miles with Lisa in her habit.

The kids there all sang.

Cambrie and Tatum.

Of course, while you're at the Spud, you might as well stay for a Gladys Burger, Shake and movie. We watched Toy Story 3.

Pampered Girls.

We took the girls for pedicures today. We went to ROOTS a new salon in Victor, and I would HIGHLY recommend you have a pedicure there. The owners, Brittany and Peyton both do amazing jobs! I should know, I've already had 2 myself. Pure heaven. {787-ROOT}

Cattle Brandin'

A while back we tagged along with some friends to go see some cattle branding. The kids were lovin' every minute of it.
