June Fairies and Fun

Okay - June has been great - school ended, and then we had a whirlwind of things to do.

We have found that Chad has ancestors from Draper! We spent a little time researching, and found that there were several buried in the Draper Cemetery. One Sunday, some of his family got together, learned about them, and then found them in the Cemetery.

Next - Kate's birthday party! We had 8 fairies come visit us during her party! The girls were so cute in matching wings and tutus. What a fun party! She is now 5 years old. I can't believe my little girl is growing up so quickly.

We had the Iverson Family Campout this month - and here we are at our campsite. We had a blast boating, swimming, fishing, biking, and talking. The weather was beautiful, the scenery amazing, and the company priceless. What a fun trip.

The next day was the Wasatch Back Relay race. This is my 4th year and Chads' 6th year. He always organizes a team - and it is a pleasure to run with them. They usually are pretty fast and competitive - and once again we finished in the top. (72nd of 1062 teams). As usual, there were struggles to get through. Chad got sick and we had to shuffle around a little. But, everyone came through. I had my toughest year - my set included a 10 miler and the hill known as "You Got to be Kidding Me". I climbed 1500 ft in around 3 miles. My biggest thing was that I didn't want to walk it - and except for about 10 steps, that is true. It was very tough, but you get such a rush from finishing an uphill run!!! Anyway, tons of fun, can't wait to do it again!
