..memorial day..

we had a lovely memorial day! it started bright and early - the boys and i rolled outta' bed at 7 am to go cheer lance on at the finish line of the neighborhood 5k. although it was early to be out and about on a holiday, i'm sure glad we went because it made lance so happy. he said that his mom came to almost all of his races when he was younger and all through high school, so he's used to having a lot of support and i'm glad we could carry that on for him. :)

after the 5k, the city put on a breakfast for everyone for only $1 a pop. totally worth it, even if the pancake was soggy! ;) danny ran the race with lance, and we ran into lindsey, robby and laurel, so we had a grand ol' time just chatting the morning away.

we went up to park city to do some shopping at the outlets. i've been wanting some new gym shoes - some bright neon colored ones to be precise (so that i fit in with everyone else at the gym!). finn and i left the nike store with neon shoes, and on our way home we stopped at the gateway so lance could find some that he liked as well. new nikes for everyone but sam. sorry sam, you're feet aren't big enough yet!

we ended the night with a bbq at the kettle's. the food was delicious and the company even better. we sure love having friends and neighbors in the ward. makes church more fun, for one thing, and it also makes for fun summer nights.

happy memorial day! i'm so thankful to all those that have served, and continue to serve this great country of ours. as the saying goes, land of the free because of the brave.
