Turkey Trot 2009!

Today we ran the Turkey Trot! It was fun, warm, and tiring.
I ran the race with:
Christy (sister), Mom (Jennifer), Dad (Larry), Clint (brother), Nathan and Kalyn (cousins).
My goal was to run fast and not get injured. The jury is still out on the injury part because you don't usually notice it right away but my time was pretty good. I ran 49:09 for a 6.2 mile run. Last year I did it in 53:12 so I am working my way down.
My legs were beat by mile 3 but I didn't let that stop me.
It was fun!!!

The whole clan minus my cousins

The girls with our matching shirts (different color, same style). Aren't we buff.?

Me finishing the race. I look like and I felt like I wanted to pass out. Once I saw the clock at 49:00 I started sprinting.

My Dad. Isn't he awesome?! He is 61 and still moving strong. I want to be like my Dad and Mom when I grow up.

"New Moon" Midnight Madness!

Okay so we had so much fun!!! It was worth the 5.5 hour wait in line and 2.5 hour wait in the theater. We had great seats! I loooooved the movie but I also loved hanging out with my friends and family. I would have had more pictures but my camera stinks. So for those of you who were there but not in the pictures I am sorry.

During the movie there was of course the oohing and aahing and I loved it. I thought the acting was great and the effects were awesome. Jacob was great but I am still

Me, Christy (my sis), Jessie, and kara (Christy Sister in laws.) We also had Randee ( my sis. in law, Randee sister Triny, Sydney (neice), Whitney ( Sydney cousin), Dallin (Sydney's friend), Nadia and Dawn (my friends)

Me in Line. I was there at 4:20pm and waited alone in line until about 6:00pm. I had to take one for the team but it was worth it. We had awesome seats!

Sole Time

For Young Women in Excellence this year we are doing a shoe theme, and every girl has to come up with a shoe that represents them and say why it does. Below is my description of my shoe and a picture similar to the shoe I talked about but mine also had a bracelet tied to it for the glam part. This is my shoe
so what does it mean to you?
Maybe not much
but to me it is such.... a representation of who I am.
In everything I do I try to say yes I can.
I like to be different and shine like the swoosh
Sometimes I need that extra push
This shoe keeps me on my toes
Which helps me aim high above my worldly foes.
The shoe's light weight makes it easy to fly.
When my burdens are lifted it feels like I can try.
I am rough around the edges more often then not
But also I like to be glam. that hits the spot.
When its time to hit the track and the race is near
My all time motto is have no fear.
And just like this shoe guarantees speed
It helps me remember to be quick to repentance, fast to forgiveness, and swift to succeed.
Sister Graves is my name, trying hard and moving fast is my game.


What shoe represents you?

Halloween!

Here are some Halloween pictures. We had so much fun this year. We had a trunk or treat on the 24th of October with our ward, Jillian and Bradley had birthday and school Halloween parties, and on Halloween we had a fun get together with our neighbors before we went out trick or treating. We had pizza and the kids bounced around on a bouncer. They had so much fun.

Jillian and Bradley before the Halloween day party.

Bradley, Dylan, Jillian, and Karalynn right before they went trick or treating.

Baden looking as cute as ever wondering what in the world is going on. He stayed in the stroller the whole time but he also got a little bit of candy.

Now on to the next holiday.....
