Salt Lake county fair

We recently went to the Salt Lake County fair with Josh's sister and her family! Bentley loved all the animals!
We let her go on a pony ride all by her self. She loved it and was really mad when we took her off!

There was a little petting zoo with ponies, goats, and bunnies. Bentley wasn't sure about them at first, but once she got over it she loved petting all the animals and feeding them!

The Taylors!!

Feeding the goat some carrots.

This little pony loved Bentley. She really liked the pony's hair. She kept petting it and saying, "pretty."

Bentley has a fetish for other people's shoes and cell phones!

Bentley's favorite things; her cousins, being outside, and popsicles

Provo 1/2, camping and more

Happy 25 to me!!!

I had a really good birthday! My poor sister and brother in law had their basement flood in one of the really bad storms. Most of their basement is ruined, but we are just happy no one was hurt. I was over there for a bit on my birthday, which I was so glad to be there and help. Then I went to lunch with a few friends and then went to dinner and cake at my parents. My sweet mom made me one of my favorite meals and strawberry shortcake after her long day of doing daycare! Thanks so much mom!!
Bentley thought it was her birthday and so she blew out my candles for me!!! I got some new running attire, decorations, magic bullet(which I absolutely love), clothes, I tunes gift cards, and lots of other fun stuff. Thanks everyone for all your love on my birthday!!!

I recently ran in the Provo canyon half marathon. It was so much fun. It was a beautiful run down the canyon and nice and cool! I felt great until about mile 12 when my knees started hurting. I am very glad I did it and I'm happy with my time, especially since I didn't get to train as hard as I wanted to! I got really sick like 2 weeks before, so I think that hurt my time a bit! My time was 2hr 10min. Next year I would really like to do it in 2 hours. Josh took this picture of me when I was about to cross the finish line. It's kind of hard to see me!

I think I will do this race again, so if anyone wants to do it next year let me know!!!
I can't believe I posted this pic. I look horrible, but oh well. My parents were so nice and took Bentley camping with them over the weekend. It was so nice to not have to worry about her and to be able to relax after my race.


We went camping to potter's pond with some friends. We had lots of fun sitting by the fire, fishing, and just relaxing in the mountains.

Hanging by the fire!

Bentley helping her dad bait the fishing poles. She had her own Dora the Explorer pole and she actually caught a couple on it!

Bentley helped her dad reel in a fish!

Josh's sister Missy stayed with us a while ago. We loved having her here and I loved having a running buddy! We went to the Lehi pool one day and had so much fun.

Me and Bentley in the pool. Bentley absolutely loves the water and could stay in there all day!

July 4th/ Summer

These pics are out of order, but oh well. We went to Josh's grandparents house in Logan on the 4th. We had lots of fun eating food, watching fireworks, hanging out and playing!

We had a family soccer game which was lots of fun!

Sorry for the long post. I need to do it more often, so that I don't have so many pics.

Bentley trying to get the ball!

Bentley loved this antique kids table!

Before our soccer game all the family participated on a two teamed bike/ run relay! You had to go 1.2 mi. and then switch your partner for running or the bike. We ended up each doing 7.2 mi. running and biking. It was lots of fun and very hard! Josh hates to run, but he did really good!

Me finishing the race on the bike!

All of us getting ready to either run or bike!

Before the race!

On Saturday the 3rd we spent the day with my family. We had dinner, celebrated my sister's birthday and then had fireworks.

Bentley watching the show in her little chair.

My dad made Bentley her own custom sparkler with a long handle. She loved it, but kept trying to poke everyone with it.

Look at all those fireworks... My dad loves fireworks and always buys tons and tons! Thanks for the awesome show.

Bentley on a mad dash for her chair after a very loud firework. She actually really loved watching them. She kept clapping and laughing the whole time.

Since my sister's birthday is on the 4th of July my mom always puts sparklers on her cake. It's so fun! She usually has some type of flag cake too, but my mom decided not to this year.

We took the dogs out to the Lake swimming! Bentley loved watching them and kept yelling for them to come back.

Just chillin in the car!

My sister in law, Jessica took some cute pics of the kids all dressed up! I took this one, but I'm sure I will be posting the ones she took soon. She does a really good job!

We went with Jessica and her kids to the Highland splash park. The kids had fun, but we kind of got rained out and had to leave early!

Bentley, Brooke, & Cole waiting for the water to turn back on!

We went fishing with Melissa and Gabe not too long ago.

Me and Bentley catching some rays!!

We recently went with one of my good friends and her daughter, Brooklyn to the Thanksgiving Point farm. We hadn't been there before and Bentley had so much fun!

I think both of the girl's favorite part was the pony ride!

Melinda and Brooklyn.

Feeding the goats. Bentley kept eating the dried corn and didn't want to give it up to the goats!

Swimmin with the dogs!!

Some of our really good friends moved to Arizona, so we did a going aways BBQ for them and invited friends.

The Gilmore's. We are so sad they moved away. They lived just a few houses down from us and we did so much with them! Their little girl is only 3 mo. younger than Bentley and they had so much fun together. Love you guys!!!!
