Color Vibe Run

OH MY GOODNESS!!!
Who knew that a run could be so FUN?
Saturday morning Cyn and I joined crazy girls, Heather, Jen, Jodi, and Mel in running the Color Vibe in Ogden.  
Those four girls are CRAZY!  Since this was a fun run, they decided to dress up in white tutus and wear blonde wigs.

Here we are, all clean and white!
 The back drop of the race was beautiful with the mountains covered in the stunning colors of the autumn leaves.  
We were told that white was the best color to wear to show the color.   Along the course there wear four color stations.
 As we ran through the color stations, volunteers threw colored powder at us, literally covering us with color!
The course took us around the campus of Weber State University.  There were no flat areas, we were either going up or down hills the entire time.  The four ballerinas took off running, of course, but Cyn and I took our time, pretty much walking most of the way - perfect for me because I am so out of shape right now.
The REAL fun began after the run.  Everyone gathered at the finish line and danced!  There was a DJ playing fun, loud music and you couldn't stop yourself from "getting down and funky"!

 The ballerina girls - perhaps because they were incognito in their blonde wigs, but more likely because they are just plain crazy - really let loose and got wild!  Heather has some dance moves that could make her a Dancing with the Stars candidate!



  As we were dancing, colored powder was flying!  We truly were covered in color!
The music had a jumping - literally for joy!  It was SO FUN!
   After we were exhausted from all of the dancing, we, of course, had to replenish all of the calories we had burned, so we headed to Jeremiah's for breakfast.  By the stares and funny looks we got, we must have looked pretty amazing!
 It was so funny!  During our 1/2 hour wait to be seated, the ballerinas all took the same pose, noses buried in their cell phones, exchanging pictures and posting on facebook.
Breakfast was amazing!  This was my first time at Jeremiah's, but it definitely will not be my last.  
How blessed I feel to be able to have this much fun with such wonderful and crazy friends!  This will be a day that will ever be one of my fondest memories!  

Just for the record, the color all came off in the shower!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?)

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our own axe-throwing lane in our backyard!  I believe t

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Mom is Coming Home

Image
We just got word today that mom can come home from Rehab tomorrow morning – a week earlier than we had expected. Needless to say, mom is thrilled at the prospects of being home again, and dad is quite excited also. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings. Honestly, it has been very nice having mom in a place where I knew that they were taking very good care of her. The food there is fantastic, the workers are extremely pleasant and friendly, and her care was wonderful. She has gained an incredible amount of muscle strength through her two-a-day physical therapy sessions, and they are fanatical about making sure that her food and fluids are exactly what she needs. Consequently mom is actually in better overall health now than she has been in the last two years. It has been nice for me to have them watching over her continuously to make sure that she does what she is supposed to and also to make sure that she doesn’t cheat on her diet or fluid restrictions. It has been wonderful to take
