Your Going To Miss This

First 5K

2011-05-05T08:17:00.000-07:00

I used to do a lot of running in high school, but honestly never ran any 5K, 10K or half marathons. And marathons forget it! I have always enjoyed running and was introduced to it by my best friend Kristen. My sister Cammy is always encouraging me to run with her and finally I am. My goal this year is a half marathon in October. This was my first 5K ever and I am proud of my sisters and I for running our little hearts out. It snowed that morning and was really cold, but I did it. I would tell you how fast I ran it, but I am afraid you all will make fun of me so lets just say I ran it under an hour. Hahaha.

Only one other person give this exact look unfortunately I don't have a pic of Darren to show you, but Colter's face says it all.

My Sister's Amazing Talent

2011-04-06T12:15:00.000-07:00

My little sister amazes me with her talent. She really doesn't give herself any credit so I am going to brag for her. She is only 18 and this was her first watercolor ever. It is just beautiful, this it going to make her famous someday.

JUROR'S AWARD

This color pencil drawing of a moose is spectacular. For sheer

technicality alone, I found this to be an exquisite piece, with the

velvety fur of the moose rendered with near photographic

precision! The shallow depth of field is also rendered very nicely –

with the moose in focus, and the background in soft focus; and

even the cool blue characteristic of powder is drawn beautifully!

Considering the sunlight on the moose and the lightness of the

snow I thought the artist did a great job rendering light (and

texture) in this drawing.

Goodbye Cooper

Colter was pretty said to see his dog go. Cooper has some good new owners though. They will be able to give him all the attention in the world.

I have been told by many I need to update my blog. Sorry I am busy, but I promise it is coming soon. I just need to figure out how to blog again. As you can see I forgot.

Shonnie Finally Post Something

The Whole Family

My brother Tommy finally came home from mission from Poland on December 19th at 2:53Am. Darren and I are very excited to have him home. I didn't think I would miss him these past two years, but I did. The family has had fun spending time with him since he got back. By the way Summer the pictures look great, thanks for taking them. Oh I tag Cammy Whitchurch next to post something.

THE LOTTERY

2008-11-06T21:23:00.000-08:00

So Darren has shared with me what he is going to do word for word when he wins the lottery (yeah right). He has lots of things in detail that he wants, so I will just narrow it down so you don't think he or we are so materialistic

1st Darren is going to get the money, can't forget that part then...

2nd he is going to donate 10% to charity, but not the church because they don't want it. He would really like to donate it to the Obama 012 funding campaign

3rd he will get the car I would like to have someday (a mini cooper) and purchase his 5,000 square foot 1 level home. It is probably going to be out in the middle of no where since he wants 25 acres of land to go with it. I am not quite sure why 25 acres

4th then he will drive home blind fold and drive me to the new home in my car then...

5th he will finally go and purchase the car of his dreams, a Dodge Diesel Cumming 4x4 extend cab and the list goes on and I have no idea what else he is talking about at this point then...

6th he will head over to Adam's work and have his Dad, Mom, brother, brother in law, sister's all purchase what ever they want from there, then have my family do the same. Funny there is 10 people in my family including my Mom and Dad. I wonder if he ever took into account my brother in laws and sister in law then...

7th he will make sure he has dirt bikes, four wheelers, snowmobiles, boats, nice safe for his new nice guns and oh I forgot at this point I hope he has paid off the house and debt we have. Anyway and his list is just long, motorcycles, riding lawnmower and a really big 4 car garage so he can put some of this stuff in it then.

8th I can't remember the rest

COLTER THE COWBOY

2008-11-05T16:19:00.001-08:00

Colter the cowboy!!! It was just to funny watching him run to catch up with his older cousin Gage. Everytime his cute bottom waddled in those tight wranglers and guns on the side
