Labor Day Weekend 2009

We spent Labor Day weekend in Heber City. Jenn and Dean blessed Avery so it was the perfect reason to go hang out for a few days. We had a great time. Labor Day is always bitter sweet, excited for fall but sad summer is coming to an end. I always feel like we need to live it up just in case it gets really cold!

We started off the weekend with a bbq on Friday night. I think summer should begin and end with a barbecue. The kids running around outside, good food, warm air.........aghh I love summer. This summer is also document by my SIL's recipe for Peanut Butter Bars, I honestly think I made them 25 times. They will forever remind me of this summer.....that and the fact that I cannot stop eating them!!


(sorry Mel your eyes are shut, but this is the only after race photo I had)

Saturday morning my sisters and I ran in the Swiss Days 10k. Last year Jenn took 2nd in her age group and got a cool beer mug. I was running for a beer mug, but it was not to be. Prizes went 5 deep in each age group, I got 7th, oh well I don't drink beer and I don't really have room in my cupboard for another mug. My sisters are seriously awesome, Mel had a baby 8 months ago and Jenn 6 weeks ago at race time. Crazy. They both ran under 10 minute miles
It was a really fun race and very beautiful scenery. I would definitely do it again.

(why do they make the shirts so big?)

Saturday the guys went golfing and we hit the Park City outlets, which is always a good time, a little crazy with the kids, but nice that we were all there to take turns. For dinner we went to Jenn and Dean's favorite local Mexican place. It is really good, I love the fresh salsa bar and the cheesecake chimichanga is amazing. The man in the background was serenading everyone. Logan thought it was awesome he kept trying to dance with him.

Sunday was Avery's blessing day. She of course looked beautiful. I love little babies in their blessing clothes. It was a nice day, Jenn had the brunch at one of the parks by her house. Heber is a beautiful place, I can see why they love living there.


The mountains in the background are beautiful

After the blessing festivities the guys picked all of their fantasy football stuff,
the kids dressed up like Star Wars characters
and the girls just hung out, a perfect Sunday afternoon.


On Monday we went to lunch with my parents at Jason's Deli, one of my favorites that we don't have here, and then we headed home. It was a fun relaxing weekend, just hanging out and enjoying each other. The perfect way to say goodbye to summer.

You and your sisters all look so good! I'm impressed that you did so well in your race- I'm sorry that I used to hold you back in our running days! Avery is so cute- I love her little bracelet. Glad you had a good weekend and a good farewell to Summer!
