Way to go Runners!!

I'm so proud of Greg and Heidi! They ran the Salt Lake Half Marathon today and both finished very well, at 2 hours or just under. We don't have the official race results yet, but they enjoyed the race and met their goals. The race finished at the Gateway, with tons of people cheering on the runners, wheelchair racers, marathoners and even a little kids' 1K. It was a fun atmosphere. I hope to be ready to run it next year.... any takers? Kaitlyn and Michael were there with Steve to cheer for Heidi and Greg. Seeing the first marathon runner turn the corner onto the last straightaway at 2 hours and 15 minutes was exciting. He was flying! It was a super fun morning!

WAY TO GO HEIDI AND GREG!!!

I'm so LAME!!

OK. I am the world's lamest blogger. Really. This post is in response to my niece Stephanie's urging to just "blog it, Lorraine!" So, here goes... an update!!

2009 has gotten off to a good start. We celebrated my mom's 80th birthday with a wonderful family temple session at the St. George Temple where mom and dad serve as ordinance workers. They are great examples of faithful service and love. I love them both so much and I'm so grateful to have them as my parents. We had a family dinner that evening at Chuck-a-Rama in St. George. I really enjoyed being in the temple with Jon and Greg and my siblings and showing Jon where we were married nearly 32 years ago.
Happy 80th Birthday Mom!

We welcomed a new, sweet grandchild, Savannah Berrett to our family in December, and celebrated her blessing in February. She is such a darling baby!

Brooklyn is only two years old, and is already pretty much as good with a digital camera as I am! She loves to snap pictures and most of them are good!! She is definately not intimidated by electronics. Wonder where she gets that from?!!
