Steve and I decided to run our first race together. We ran the Snow Canyon Half Marathon in 2 hours and 10 minutes. Steve decided to "run for love" which means he decided to slow down and run with me. It was a beautiful day in St. George and we enjoyed the race. When I woke up the next morning I could barely move! There were up and down hills throughout the race and I had not trained on any hills. I am just now able to walk down the stairs without groaning.

Puggle
This is a cross between a Pug and a Beagle. Christine has had a fascination with Pugs for the last couple of months. I don't have the heart to tell her that I don't find them very cute, so I took her to this pet store to see what she thought about a Puggle. I think we are making progress!

Arch Angels on Halloween
David Archuleta fans are called Arch Angels. Yes, I talked the girls into this too! We all went trick or treating at the Murray Care Center where Steve's grandmother is living.

Fall Volleyball
Cassidy is loving Volleyball. She is the youngest and smallest member of her team, but has proved she can play with the best of them.

Christines B-day!
We celebrated Christine's birthday at the Cornbelly's corn maze which featured David Archuleta. ( Yes, I suggested that would be a great idea!)

Christine is now 7!
A week after Cody's birthday Christine turned 7 on September 26th. She is following the same path as her sister. All she wanted was a Pug for her birthday. Her grandfather told her there are no dogs allowed in his house so she settled for a Nintendogs game which features Pugs.

Our first teen-ager!
On September 18th Cody turned 13. He let us know he just wanted to celebrate quietly. "Don't do anything big, I'm not Miley Cyrus". ( Miley's parents shut down Disneyland for her 16th!)
