St. George 2011...

On Friday morning, we headed for St. George to support my mom in running her 20th marathon... and my brother Brent in running his 1st. After checking in, we went over to visit with my parents and gave her a little gift we had gotten... My mom loves American Girl ALMOST as much as Courtney...so we got her the "running outfit" for the doll she has on display in her home...

Dan and the girls and I then headed out for our night on the town. My mom has to go to bed early, so we always make personal plans for Friday night. First we headed to the Red Lobster for dinner...

And then headed over to Tuacahn for the "Little Mermaid"...

Kenna and Courtney...

Dan and Kenna...

Kenna and Courtney during the show... it was amazing! I liked it even better than Tarzan we saw last year. And no...we didn't realized how ironic it was we ate at the Red Lobster before seeing that show until after we had already made the plans!!! Funny!!!

Saturday morning we headed over to our "regular" spot to wait and watch for my mom and brothre. Courtney wrote me this message with rocks she found... I love you too Courtney!

My Dad, Dan, my sister-in-law Karen, and my nephews Alex and Tyler...
Me and my man...

All the kiddos... Alex, Tyler, Matthew, Kenna and Courtney... waiting in the blistering heat! Poor marathon runners....

Here comes my mom! Run Grandma run!!!!

And there goes Brent! He had a tough time due to a foot injury, but he finished!!!!!

After a they both got a quick shower we headed to Iggy's for lunch. My sister in law gave them both gift bags...and she gave him a new athletic supporter... ewww! I guess it's a gift that keeps on giving... and they are doing the Las Vegas Ragnar in a few weeks!

Another great weekend with family! Glad we could come cheer them on! Now we will go swim while Dan goes to the Priesthood broadcast...and get up early to head to the conference center for the 2nd session tomorrow!

Great job Grandma and Brent!

Haha. I like that Brent's TMI gift was in a Jacob Black gift bag. Funny.
I wish we could have been there with you all this weekend.
I can't believe it was so hot. It is soooooo cold here right now. It's hard to imagine it is still warm anywhere.
You all look so cute. I can't believe how grown up McKenna looks.

Thanks, Steph! I, too, and so glad Brent and I finished! It is so nice to have that big event completed! I hope to post in the next little bit my Doll with her new running outfit. She looks adorable! I love the pictures you got! Thanks for being there for us!

It was a fun and stressful time! I hope I didn't snap at anyone waiting on word from Brent. He is so amazing. I guess he takes after his momma!
