Fusion Frenzy

Here are some pics of our favorite Fusion Frenzy player. Yesterday was a tough game and they lost, but B was asked to join their regular season! Congrats Bailey!

This is my favorite picture... pony blowing behind her and a good battle for the ball!

Charger Chic's try it again...

1st lap of the tri-meet between Eagle Middle, Meridian Middle, and Lowell Scott. We went from 90 degrees at last week's meet to 52 degrees at today's meet. High wind, and chilly! This was the first meet that she wasn't all smiles.


Here is the finish line. Bailey came in at 12:07 and 36th place out of (i'm guessing) 80-90 girls. I don't know who won, both Eagle and Lowell Scott were undefeated so this was a big one!

Next week is the big finale at Districts! Good Luck Charger Chics!

(sorry for the shakey video...:)

Chocolate Cake

Bailey announced the other day that she would officially be a pre-teen. We appreciated the breaking news because apparently, both Jason and I were totally unaware...?

Saturday night we had a little family birthday party that of course involved a little Costco chocolate cake (you just can't replicate it...yes Kim, that is a challenge!) and homemade ice cream.



birthday wishes...



B and her cousins painted up some pumpkins..

Happy Birthday Bailey Bug!

2nd annual women's fitness challenge

It was the 17th annual women's fitness challenge this saturday and for bailey and I, it was the 2nd annual. 12,000 women show up for the event and the streets are lined with supporters (we were sooo happy to have our own little cheering section, thanks hubs!), music playing, and at the finish line there are men in tuxedo's high fiving you across the finish line.

Last time we ran this i think we made it about 6 blocks and bailey was wanting to walk, climbing the big hill up to the train depot was a painful process, and convincing her that the end of the 3 miles was just around the corner - was tough!!

THIS YEAR... I officially have a running buddy and I love it!! Bailey has really become a strong runner and has decided that after she joins her dad and I for the Barber to Boise 5k, her and I are going to tackle a 10k together. I can't wait!!

We realized that since monday bailey had ran 9 miles between xc practice, a meet, and our race. Today we headed to the foothills and ran a couple more to make 11 miles for her this week. Great job bailey bug!!


It was so nice to have a driver this year...and a photographer!

12,000 particpants, spectators galore... we were afraid we wouldn't find Jason but he was front in line cheering us on!

I am pretty sure we're blurry because this is where lil miss runner decided we should sprint it in. Little did she know we were still a ways away from the actual finish - but she kept up the sprint!

We're done!! I really was so proud of her for running the entire way and not even mentioning that she would like to stop!!

See you Oct 17th for Barber to Boise, a family event!

Cross Country Surprise...

Birthday weekends are always better when started with a fun surprise. bailey was excited to see her that her dad came in early to catch a xc meet. Little does she know, it has been sooo hard the past 3 weeks to not tell her he was coming!! Surprise...

The Charger girls are ready to go....

A good start, she's a little hard to find but she's in there...

I'm not sure who was more excited, the runner or the dad! I think he caught the race from every possible angle!

It was hot, hottest day of the week, AGAIN!...but still smiling!

A good finish - 31 out of 78 girls. The course was longer and I didn't hear the time - but she did great and ran hard.

A little help cooling off from her dad!

and a little help socializing from her doodle...

AND, notice the new full tooth grin. I can't believe how straight her teeth have gotten already.

sounds like a musical masterpiece!

It is a good thing I didn't take pictures of her first night back at dance because I believe 3 is the maximum number of blog posts you can do in one night of your kiddo... So, my last blog will leave you with a little taste of 30-minutes of our nightly routine! Thankfully, she's pretty good considering she's been playing about 2 weeks now (with only 3 nights of official practice)!!

Oh, i didn't mess with it to see if i could turn the clip around, you'll just have to tilt your head and crank up the volume! Enjoy!!

xc #3

Couldn't wait for the final results to get the recent race pictures posted...I'm feeling pretty confident that they won again, but regardless....our little Charger Chic, ROCKED today!!! She came in nearly a minute faster than last week and she's been out sick 2 days this week?!?!?
Her goal was to make the mile and 1/2 under 13....

A little pre-run cheer!




I'm hoping she doesn't run much of the race with her eyes closed!!

Thankfully i sorta had the camera ready, she surprised me coming in a minute sooner! 12:30!!

Ah, dang... i just missed the phlemy spit session!

Good job beating your goal this week bailey bug, keep it up!!!
