180 Miles in 28 Hours!

June 20th and 21st, twelve of us - and almost 7,000 other crazy people on 520 teams - embarked on an overnight relay race from Logan to Park City. The race is called the Wasatch Back and each person runs 3 legs that total between 12 and 20 miles. We slept for about an hour on the floor of a high school gym - yikes!, ran up hills and down hills (thanks Ian, Jody, Derk, Jayme, Ana and Sam for doing the hard stuff!), ran in the blistering 90 degree heat and the 40 degree see-your-breath cold. Tiffany and I agreed it was the craziest thing we've ever done and that it was pretty cool! Ana did a great job of organizing everything, including the fabulous wig costumes for the final team run in! Lori, Brett, JR, Brad, Derk and Jayme made an awesome pit crew for all of the runners. There were a bunch of great costumes, hysterically decorated vans, absolutely incredible scenery, and so many super supportive people along the way, especially the kids with the hoses and squirt guns. I think we almost went hoarse from woo-hoo'ing so much! I was very proud that I was able to post a personal best on my 5K leg at 9 o'clock at night (28:58) and still managed to shave 6 minutes off my beastly hill run at the end. Overall a very fun, crazy time!! Highly recommend it!!

Baby's First Photo Shoot!

They're a little bit less, um, productive when you're asleep, little man! We were fortunate enough to be able to go to Fetal Photos with our "Baby Mama" tonight. She thought we might want some ultrasound pictures of the baby so she invited us to tag along. Scott was a little worried that he might be out of place in the room, but we quickly realized that this is not your typical doctor office scenario. The theater style seating was a dead giveaway! We had no idea that the technology could create such amazing photos! So he's 4.8 oz at 33 weeks, has long legs already, and is already head down. We got some great images of his profile, his little feet, his heart beating, his eyes, lips and nose...in spite of the fact that he was sound asleep and part of the placenta was covering one side of his face. We tried everything (except maybe some rap or AC/DC). The tech even jiggled him. To no avail. We were hoping that means he'll be a good sleeper but Baby Mama told us not to count on it! She said he's usually pretty active. The second meeting with her reinforced our first impressions - she's a beautiful, thoughtful, sweet young lady and we are very, very lucky people!

We're Getting a Baby!!!

WOO-HOO!! We just found out yesterday that we will be getting a baby! Can you believe it?! The baby is due August 1st, which seems so soon. It's a boy! Scott's pretty stoked, especially since he now thinks he deserves to get a fathers day present! We got to meet the birth mother on Tuesday and she's darling - very cute, very bright and very tall! Our first impression was that she has a great head on her shoulders and we really couldn't be luckier that she chose us. I think we're still a little bit in shock that we're finally going to have a baby!! Thanks so much to everyone for all of your love and support. You have made the long waiting process suprisingly easy. We are so grateful and thrilled and feel so blessed!! And don't worry...we will be calling all of you for advice and babysitting detail! Love you!

Boats & Bogeys-Memorial Day 2008

We spent Memorial Day weekend at Antelope Point hosting a customer appreciation event for 150 or so of Scott's nearest and dearest customers. The event was a huge success complete with a band, a pizza party, a fancy dinner in the restaurant, washoes tournaments, a tie up in Warm Creek with about 20 boats, a freezing cold golf tournament (I was so desperately cold that I wore golf club covers as socks! The hail and lightning did not help our games!), and a pro wakeboarder named Santino Santori. Yes, that's his real name. We think. The event aired on At Your Leisure yesterday so I think we're all famous now! The good news is that the water is coming up over a foot a day and they're projecting that the pass will be open this year. Woo-hoo!
