"Are we there yet?"

One month from today we are suppose to be running the "Run for the Red 5K".  I'm not sure if I can do it.  I have been running on the treadmill for a while--but just at short intervals.  Yesterday, when I went for my walk I decided to see if I could run some of it--it was hard.  I'm not sure how far I ran but it seemed long--but not a 5K that's for sure.  In my mind I was thinking "Are we there yet?"  I don't think I'm there yet--as far as running goes, but maybe in a month. 
I worked out by myself today with Chad--it is so much more fun with Tina.  But thanks for waking up just for me Chad.  Monday I get to work out with Melanie and Kim with Chad--that will be fun.. . .Well as much fun as working out can be.  I don't think I'm there yet in thinking that working out is fun--but it does feel good when it's done!
Hope you are having a wonderful time in Hawaii Tina.  Be sure to bring us some chocolate covered macadamia nuts--they're nuts--they're healthy right?

Here's the family!

I wanted to introduce my family.  This picture was taken almost a year ago, but it was the last time we were all together.  My oldest son Ryan (sitting next to his cute wife-Rebkah and baby Olivia- at the end of the slide) are in Kansas City going to the University of  Kansas Medical School.  They have two other kids, Kaitlynn and Jack--sitting with me at the top of the slide.  My second son Nate (top of the slide) is married to Kayla.  They are expecting their first baby in July--a girl!  Our third son is Devan (standing on the ladder) is a Junior at BYU majoring in music composition--he hopes to be John Williams when he grows up.  Our fourth son, Jordan (standing with his arms outstretched) is serving a mission in Anaheim,California.  Our fifth and youngest son, Cameran, sitting on the slide between his two sister-in-laws, is almost 16 and is a sophomore at Springville High.  My cute husband. Ray, standing in front of us all,  we have been married 30 years in August.  My family members are my greatest cheerleaders.  I hope to get as many of them as possible to run/walk in the 5K with me.  My husband will definetly be walking-maybe with Tina's husband.  I'm sure they can laugh together about their funny wives.  Anyway, life is good.  I know all of us want to be healthy for our families.  Mine is the best!  (and I know all of you think yours are too)
I wanted to add this second picture too--this happened at the end of the photo shoot--my funny family!
