We got to go camping the other day. It was seriously the best kind of camping there is...camping in Harold and Darlene's backyard. No dirt. No worrying about kids running off. Toliets, sinks and showers. We had a really great time. We roasted hot dogs, swam, had ice cream cones and slept in a tent.</div>

It's been a crazy month for me. I had 3 races in 5 weeks. It was a blast. First I did So Cal Ragnar. It was a relay race going from Huntington Beach to San Diego. I think it was 203 miles total. There were 12 people on a team and each person does 3 legs of runs. I had about 15 miles total. It takes about 35 hours and there is someone running at all times. It was so much fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The second race I did was the American River Parkway Half Marathon. I did this race last year and it's a good little race in Sacramento. Mostly shaded, on a path, and flat. It was fun and I'm glad I did it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The third race I did was the Red Rock Relay. We got invited to do this one from Ben and Telia. It was in Moab and it's about 1/3 of a Ragnar. It's 70 miles, teams of 6, and you run 2 legs. It was so much fun. I loved doing it with Daniel and Ben and Telia. It was hard because it was in the desert, direct sun and no shade but beautiful in it's own way. It was Daniel's first race and he did awesome. One of his legs was nothing but hills. The poor guy was climbing switch backs the whole time but he did it and he did it well. Our team was supposed to finish around 9:30pm but we actually finished at 6:30pm. We had some awesome teammates! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love running. I have nothing scheduled right now and it's kinda driving me crazy. Maybe Napa Valley Ragnar...we'll see. </div>

We had a lovely Easter this year. We got a surprise visit from Ben and Telia and their kids so it was extra fun. Saturday, we had a little Easter egg hunt with all the kids. Harold and Darlene have a great backyard for hiding eggs. It was so cute to watch them. Sunday, we all went to Harold and Darlene's ward and then had a wonderful dinner after. It was great to have a little bit of time with Ben and Telia.</div>

My kids are growing and being really cute. Marston has been taking gymnastics and goes to speech once a week. He loves speech but I'm not so sure how much he likes gymnastics. I have been taking a Sierra College class (to keep my teaching creditial) on Early Childhood Education, trying to keep up with the mess that comes with having kids, and training for another half marathon. Daniel has been the busiest. He has been studying for the CFP test full time and going to the office to keep up on taxes part time. We haven't seen a whole lot of him around here. He has be working really hard. This Friday and Saturday is the big test. I know he will do well. We won't get the test results for 10 weeks. It has a lower pass rate than the BAR exam. Yikes! I am looking forward to putting this whole test thing behind us. As I am SURE he is too. <br />

Daniel got this video last night. Marston and Hazel love to have dance parties to Kidz Bop music. It's really fun to watch.

You might think, why go there when you don't drink wine. But it was so much fun just to have time alone with my husband. We drove up Hwy 29 to Calistoga. There was so much to look at, I was really glad I wasn't the one driving. Rolling hills, vineyard after vineyard after vineyard. All with beautiful homes. One thing I really wanted to do was to drive by the French Laundry. It's a fancy restaurant that believes in eating small courses with each course featuring a different ingredient. A meal there would be a once in a life time experience. For an evening there you need reservations months in advance and it's around $250 for a nine course meal. Not in the budget.<br />
We continued to drive north to Calistoga where we walked around cute shops and art galleries. It was a wonderful couple of days. Thank you Daniel for taking me away and thank you grandma and grandpa Anderson for watching our little monkeys while we were gone. <br />

I make it myself and it saves me tons of money. I have black granite counter tops and they are very hard to clean without the help of an all purpose cleaner. I was using this J.R Watkins one and I loved it but it was $6.00 a pop. I go through a bottle in about 2 weeks so it was getting a bit expensive. My lovely mother-in-law gave me an all-purpose cleaner recipe that worked for her so I gave it a try. Now that's all I use. <br />

All-Purpose Cleaner<br />
2 cups water<br />
3 TBSP vinegar<br />
1 tsp Borax <br />
Whisk together and pour into a spray bottle. Add:<br />
1 TBSP dish soap<br />

Marston and his grandpa Harold made a bird house together last Saturday. It was so cute. Marston was such a good little wood worker. He hammered in the nails and screwed in the screws. I think he did a great job. We are going to paint it this week and hang it outside to see if any birds want a nice little home to live in. Thanks grandpa Harold!</div>

Every year we love to go to the Lincoln Christmas Parade. It's a super small parade but it's a lot of fun to kick off the season. Lots of goats, horses, Mexicans on horses, lights, candy and santa. What's not to love about that?!?!</div>

I've been feeling crafty lately and here are some of my projects for Christmas. I love pinterest and I found a picture of this letter wreath a little bit ago and I got a chance to make it with a few of my girlfriends the other night. I think it turned out cute. Me likey. I also dug out a half-way made advent calender that my mother-in-law started for me a couple of years ago. I just got the pattern and all the stuff to finish it. I have all the ornaments (25) to sew/glue and a few more deer and birds to make on the tree. Easy...right? We'll see if it gets done this year or next but for now I think it's cute enough to hang. </div>

I got to have my parents, Bethie and Isaac and Jenn come into town for a couple of days. It was great to have my family here and play with my kids. We had a great time visiting, eating, shopping, eating, visiting, shopping and eating. I love having my family visit. Marston and Hazel loved it to. Thanksgiving day was a lot of fun. Bethie and Daniel and I went on a 4 mile Thanksgiving run with a group of friends. I had a great time. It always feels good to exercise on Thanksgiving. Then we came home and began cooking. Everything turned out beautifully. Harold and Darlene and Erik joined us and we sat down to a lovely meal. I have a lot to be grateful this year. We have a steady job, cars that run, healthly kids, food on the table, the gospel and a great ward, and wonderful, supportative family and friends. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I love hosting Thanksgiving. I've only done it a couple of times but I actually love all the planning and shopping and decorating that goes into it. This year my parents, Isaac and Jenn, Beth, Erik, and Daniel's parents are coming. That's 10 adults and 2 kids. A perfect number. I am going to try a couple of new recipes this time around. Here's the menu:<br />
<br />
Turkey-Alton Brown from the Food Network has a recipe for turkey that people are raving about. I figure I'll give it a try. He brine's it over night then stuffs it with an apple, cinnamon sticks and herbs. Looks amazing. <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-roast-turkey-recipe/index.html">http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-roast-turkey-recipe/index.html</a><br />

<br />
Stuffing- My mom make this for us every year. I really like her recipe. It's a basic stuffing recipe but I love it. <br />
<br />
Mashed Potatoes-A couple of years ago, I had everything ready for the big Thanksgiving meal and I forgot to do the potatoes. That memory haunts me. So this year I am going to try a crock pot mashed potato recipe. I made it a couple of weeks ago and it was delicious. <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slow-cooker-mashed-potatoes/">http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slow-cooker-mashed-potatoes/</a><br />
<br />
Sweet Potatoes-Years past I've has a recipe with brown sugar and pecans but I think I'm going to wing it this year. I love them just peeled and cubed with butter and brown sugar topped with marshmallows. <br />
<br />
Green Beans-Steamed with olive oil and salt and pepper.<br />
<br />
Jello-Every year we make the jello salad that my grandma used to make and it is yummy. But this year I'm going to make a jello that my friend Holly made for a relief society activity a while back. It has a sweet pretzel crust, cream cheese center and raspberry jello top. It really is the best.<br />
<br />
Cranberry Sauce-I grew up on the canned stuff so anything homemade is great to me. I made a Martha Stewart recipe with orange and ginger a couple of years ago. It was really tasty but a bit strong on the ginger for me. This year I'm going to try a recipe I found on Our Best Bites blog. It has cinnamon and cloves in it and you bake it so you don't have to watch it on the stove. <a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2008/11/cranberry-sauce/">http://www.ourbestbites.com/2008/11/cranberry-sauce/</a><br />

<br />
Rolls-Harold and Darlene have a terrific roll recipe. They are going to bring the rolls so I don't have to worry about that. <br />
<br />
Apple Pie-Darlene is making this one. She makes a beautiful apple pie. <br />
<br />
Pecan Pie-I tried to make a chocolate pecan pie a couple of years ago and wished I had just made the plain old pecan pie that everyone loves.<br />
<br />
Pumpkin Pie- I love making pumpkin pie. My recipe has cream cheese and half and half so it is creamy and delicious. Topped with fresh sweet cream is heaven in my book. <br />
<br />
Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake-I saw this recipe on Our Best Bites and thought it might be fun to try. Looks amazing. <a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2011/11/layered-pumpkin-pie-toffee-cheesecake/">http://www.ourbestbites.com/2011/11/layered-pumpkin-pie-toffee-cheesecake/</a><br />

<br />
<br />
So I think that about covers it. I'll keep you posted on how things turn out. <br />

I finish my 4th half marathon in 2 years. I am a little disappointed in my performance but I must say I have been sick for over a week. I had bad chest congestion that made it difficult to breath. But I did it and feel good about having another race under my belt. Santa Barbara is gorgeous! The course was beautiful. Through nice neighborhoods, paths through parks and the last 3 miles were a decent down to the beach. It had rained the night before so the air was crisp and clean and it smelled of eucalyptus and salt ocean air. That part was wonderful. My goal was to make it in under 2 hours and I kept that pace (about a 9 minute mile) for the first half but then it hit me and I had to walk some of it. My time went in the toilet at that point. I finished at 2 hours and 14 minutes. My worst official time yet. Oh well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got to leave the kids and husband at home and enjoy some girl time with my sister in law, Brooke. It was great to have some time to build our friendship without distractions from the little ones. I was so happy to have her support at the finish line! I really enjoyed the trip. </div>

My sweet Hazel girl turned 1 on the 7th. We decided to go to Fairy Tale Town in Sacramento for her birthday party. We went the Saturday before her birthday. Fairy Tale Town is awesome. It's a giant playground perfect for toddlers. It has a giant shoe slide for the lady who lived in a shoe, a rabbit hole slide, Christopher Robin's tree house, Robin Hood's forest, a giant foot slide for Jack and the beanstalk, a pirate ship, King Aurthur's castle, farm animals, a barn with a slide, Cinderella's pumpkin carriage and more. Hazel, Marston and my nephew Evan had a blast. It was a chilly day but still fun. After we went to the park outside Fairy Tale Town and had a picnic. It was a nice day. Simple. By the time we sang Hazel happy birthday she was so tired and a little sick, she didn't care about her cake and presents. <br />
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On her actual birthday, the poor girl had the flu, feel down the stairs, choked on an apple, and fell and busted her lip on the coffee table. It was kind of a horrible day for her. I'm glad she won't remember it. <br />
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday she had her 12 month check up. She is 20 lbs and 29 inches. In the 30th percentile for both. She also got 6 (yes 6!) shots. And I still need to take her to get her to get a blood sample from the lab and a flu booster in a month. Poor girl.<br />
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our house has been sick with the flu since Saturday. Runny noses, coughs, and throwning up have been our days. Not fun at all. <br />
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a half marathon in Santa Barbara this Saturday. Considering the past week of illness and not making all my long runs, I think this race is going to be tough. We'll see how I do. I wanted to make it under 2 hours but now I just want to be able to finish it. Low expectations. </div>

We got to go to several pumpkin patches this October. My kids loved it. We went to a small one in Granite Bay, Zittel Farms in Folsom and Bishop's pumpkin farm in Wheatland. It was so fun. Marston loved to climb on the giant pumpkins and jump off. We got to ride the train at Bishop's and pet the goats at Zittel's. For Halloween this year, Marston wanted to be a puppy. I made his costume from a picture of a costume from Potterybarn Kids. It turned out kinda cute. He loved wearing it and that was a first for him. Hazel was a mermaid. She was adorable. Good colors for her. Trunk or treat at our church was Saturday night and Marston had a grand time going from trunk to trunk saying trick or treat. Then the fun continued on Halloween. We went to Dan's parent's house in Grantite Bay and had a yummy dinner and went trick or treating around their house. After every house, Marston would ask "more trick or treating"? It was really cute. I'm a little sad October is over. </div>

I made the mistake of letting Marston play with our camera and it is now broken. So I have no pictures from my Ragnar race. Okay, I have a few from the other girls but I have none of my own. These I copied from facebook. Hopefully I'll get more later. </div>

Ragnar was awesome. It's a relay race that went from the Golden Gate Bridge to Napa Valley (a little under 200 miles). There are teams of 12 and each teammate does 3 legs. We run for 30 plus hours straight. I was runner number 10 and I had a total of 20.8 miles. My first leg was 7.8 miles through the hills north of San Francisco on Point Reyes/Petaluma Rd. It was beautiful. I got to run past the Cheese Factory where Dan and I went when we were first "friends". After my leg I felt pretty good. Tired from the hills but okay. A couple hours later, I started to feel really sick. I began to throw up and didn't stop for hours. I couldn't keep anything down. I think I throw up 8 times. At one of the exchanges we ran into my home teacher and he gave me a blessing. After that I went back to the hotel and slept. They just drove through my second leg. I was really bummed. I was looking forward to my night run but I think if I had not slept I would not have been able to finish. After some rest I got back in the car and continued on with my team. I felt much better, not 100% but okay enough to finish. I ran my third leg of 6.8 miles and had my team van stop often to cheer me on. It was incredible. I ran on this road that went stright through the most beautiful vineyards I've ever seen. I finished it, hot, sweaty and tired. I'm still sad I didn't get to do my 2nd leg. I was so sick. I still can't figure out why. I did everything right. My body was ready. I drank lots of water the day before and that morning. I had a good breakfast and energy bars. I carried water on my run and ate a package of Stingers. I don't know what happened. Part of me thinks that I needed to go through something like that so that I would have faith and trust in a Priesthood blessing. I know that's what allowed me to feel well enough to do my third leg. I felt lifted up when I should have been totally energy zapped. The power of prayer. Heavenly Father knows each of us and is ready to support when asked. There were many prayers on my behalf and for that I am thankful. It was a very rewarding weekend. Good times with girlfriends, pushing our bodies to do something incredible. Well worth the sweat and tears. </div>

My heart aches. My dear friend and mission companion passed away last Sunday night. She lost her short life to cancer. She was such an amazing person. She was always smiling and making people laugh. We were companions while I was in a small village called Wollerau. We were together for 5 months there. We has a grand time together. I have many great memories with her. She has touched my life and taught me to smile when I don't want to and to see blessings everywhere. I will miss my friend.</div>

We went camping at Lake Tahoe to celebrate Darlene's birthday. It was fun...mostly. It's hard camping with 2 little ones. The best part was boating. Daniel's dad rented a really cool speed boat and we spent the day on the lake. It was beautiful. Just breath taking. </div>

I read blogs all the time, everyday. But for some reason I'm having a super hard time keeping up with my own blog. There are a couple of reasons, really, just plain excuses. Number one, I see other people's blogs and think; how in the world did they make theirs so cute. Cute backgrounds and beautiful photos. I decided it is time for an upgrade on my camera. I want beautiful photos. Especially of my kids. I think I'm ready for an actual lens camera, looking at the Canon Rebel series as a gateway lens camera. Not too expensive but I still have to save for it so it might not be till Christmas. I can wait. Number two, I can't figure out blogspot. Stupid-I know! I'd like to think of myself as being a smart and fairly computer savy but for some dumb reason this stuff is comfusing to me. Sometimes I can add pictures and videos and sometimes it won't let me. Today, it's letting me. And I just want a simple background, large pictures and text. Oh well. I'll settle for this. And number three, I have a beautiful life. I have wonderful kids and a sexy husband that provides enough for me to stay at home. I am an overall happy person. Heathly and happy. I cook, clean, change diapers (more than I'd like), wake up early and run and have fun with my kids. Nothing really that interesting to write about. Nothing that will send anyone into deep thought or reflection. Nothing that will change the world.</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Okay so here it is, I am going to do better. I am not going to care that my blog might be boring to some people. I think it is good for me to share my life with my family and friends that don't live near me. And that happens to be a lot of people. There. Enough said. </div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
