Spanish Fork Half Marathon

Me & My little Sis

Me at the finish ~ 2:17 ~ 17 minutes better than my Bear Lake finish

So my CRAZY friend Stephanie & I decided to run another half marathon on September 11th. My sister Jennie, who has recently taken up triathlons, decided that she would run it with us since she would be in town for Joey's wedding. It was a cold morning, but ended up being perfect running weather. We all finished with personal bests and no walking!

FABULOUS CAKE ~ made by Auntie Lizzie

We were so excited to have everyone come out for Joey & Jessica's wedding. It was perfect timing because Andrew turned 1 on September 6th. We enjoyed a delicious dinner of homemade personal pizzas and lots of laughs. Andrew enjoyed opening presents, with the help of his older cousin Miles, who yelled surprise as he presented each gift. He LOVED eating his cake and was very upset when it was taken away ~ I guess there's a little Checchio in him after all!

A running summer...literally

Rain Gutter Regatta

Tate participated in his first rain gutter regatta back in May (I know I'm a terrible blogger). He had a lot of fun designing and building his boat with his Dad - note the U of U colors. He raced pretty well and had a blast with his fellow cub scouts!
