Clayton is 12

Clayton fulfilling his 12 year old Decon duties -

collecting fast offerings.

Austin was nice enough to wait for Clayton to be ordained

so he could show him the ropes of what they do on fast Sunday.

We had a few friends over, we tried to bike up to Elephant Rock, but didn't quite make it.

The ride down was fun though.

Clayton is a big 12 year old.

Rain Gutter Regatta

Mitchell took first place with his rain gutter regatta.

He even got a BLUE ribbon, but so did everyone.

Happy July 4th

We celebrated the 4th in Grantsville running the Ray Barrus 5K.

Mitchell, Sam, and Veronica all ran the 1 mile.

Sam following the race showing his battle wound. He won first place for his age group. He said he probably could have run faster, but tripped at the starting line. He ran it in 8 minutes. Mitchell came in second for his age group at 7.55 minutes.

Running the 5K - Alyssa, Sabrina, Grant, Mary, Brian, and Clayton

PoWeR PosEs

Everyone waiting for the runners.

Clayton was the first to of us to cross the finish line at 22.07 minutes. He's fast!

Alyssa was next. She is the inspiration for the runs.

Grant came next.

We made it! Brian is a good sport to stay with me and cross the finish line together. I know he could run faster. It is good to have company. Our time was 29 minutes. We beat our last 5K time by almost 5 minutes.

Sabrina took 3rd place in her age group. Clayton took 2nd and Alyssa took 3rd in her age group, and Grant (not pictured) took 3rd too!

Feels good to run.
