My first 5K and West Fest Fireworks

Yesterday I did my first 5K I am saying first in hopes that there will be a second. I started running to work out about two years ago and usually run about eight or ten times between summer and spring when the weather was warm enough to take Zach out in the stroller and I was starting to worry about summer weather and the wearing of shorts and tank tops. Well that isn't a ton of working out or anything but I have found that I really enjoy running. This made me want to try and see what it would be like to do a real run and I decided even thouth I hadn't really been running often and not in the best shape ever I would try and see how it went. I had such a great time. I finished which to me was a good thing and my time wasn't horible (33:56) . So I figure if I reallly start doing this I could get even better at it and run more, faster, and maybe get in a little bit better shape. We also went to see the fireworks for West Fest, celebrating 30 years of West Valley City. Zach was in wyoming with his grandparents so he wasn't there and I really missed him, but we had a fun time.

After the race, still standing!

Me and my sister Breanna, she also ran the race.

What a hunk

I love Summer Time!!!

Pinata

A couple weeks ago Zach asked me to make a pinata for a party. I wasn't sure why he thought we were having or party or what made him think I could make a pinata but I figured I would try it and see if we could have a fun time making a little project together. I looked up online how to make a pinata and it really didn't seem all that hard so I got a balloon and the grocery ads and thought this would be fun. Turns out it takes a lot longer to make a pinata then Zach or I thought. A week later we had finished putting a few layers of newspaper on and I was pretty much sick of having to clean up the gluey mess and paper after we had let it dry every night. So I said it was done even though it was no where close to my vision of a beautiful paper creation. It was painted plain white so at least the ads weren't super visible. We invited mine and Gordon's family over for a water pater with the kids pool, slip n slide, and water balloons. Grilled up some hot dogs and had a little party. It turned out to be a fun little afternoon. So I guess my hard work paid off. Thanks to Zach the family got to get together for no real reason at all which we don't usually do. Here are a few pics, I didn't get any of them breaking the pinata cause it was a little hectic.
