Getting ready for the 5K run! Hannah is Jared running partner. They are preparing to leave Mommy in the dust!

Mommy did okay in the 5K run. The girl in front of me is a friend of mine and we raced to the last little bit, obviously I did not beat her!

Fourth of July fireworks! This was Hannah's one and only sparkler, it scared her so bad she wouldn't go near another one.

 We went to Farm Country to ride the horses and have some fun! 

Hiking the Quarry trail!

Jared did the mini endro racing series this year, there they all go up the mountain! We decided to hike up the mountain while we waited, it was a fun hike!

 Jared did great in his first race, 5th place! Then he competed at Snowbird and got 2nd place. His two scores combined would win the mini enduro series!
