past couple of weeks...

so it has been a liitle while since i last blogged and so much has happened and of course i didn't take pictures! so first off tlyncia came to visit for a week and she saved my life because she was such a good puppy sitter:

we ran the flamingo gorge 5k together and both of us got 3rd place in our age groups so we both got matching medals and t-shirts which is the primary reason we raced in the first place

(free shirts... hello?!):

we did lots of fun things some of which included watching the 3 on 3 basketball tournament, walking through the fair, the saturday night concert (trapt and collective soul), drove around looking for wild life, and tlyncia's favorite: WILD HORSE LOOP
Lets see when that week finally ended we headed to Utah for the Horlacher family reunion. we went up to American Fork Canyon's: Mutual Dell and there we had a blast hanging out with all our cousins. We had a massive game of kickball, ate lots of junk food, had campfire stories, went to casecade springs, and to a lake (where ben caught a fish with his bear hands!) of course i don't have pictures of all of this but here are a few:

Casecade Springs:

we had a great time... it was a nice break and i know tlyncia is finally glad to be home now especially since she is doing drivers ed now! We are back to the real world. I started teaching summer school math and derek is back to his 14 on 7 off schedule!
