Monday Night, Nachos, Castle, & Sisters

What do these things have in common? Only the most awesomest thing in the world!

Stacy and I started a tradition back in season 2 of Castle. She would come over to my house and we would make the most AMAZING nachos (documented above) and then eat them while watching the best show ever:
How much do I love these two?!?!?!?
Last year, for the season 3 premiere, both my Castle buddies (Stace & Becks) were at BYU-I and I just couldn't stand not watching it with them, so I made an impromptu trip to watch it with them! It was so awesome!


 This year I live in Denver and they live in Rexburg.... not really close enough for an impromptu trip for the premiere. Which was a week and a half ago. Why post this tonight? I had nachos for the first time here and all I could think about was watching Castle and how my Castle buddies are not here :( 

I MISS YOU GUYS!

Move Forward- Regis DPT 5k for the Argyle Elderly

Ben's department at school puts on a 5k/10k race every year for a home for low income elderly people as a community service. We decided it would be a fun event for the whole family to participate in, so we all got signed up for the 5k.

Map of the race:
(5k was one lap, 10k was two)
(photos/video from Ben's phone- we forgot the camera!)
Brook's Grand Finish:
Brook was so excited because everyone started clapping and cheering for her as she ran across the finish line. "It's because of my fast power Mom."
Ellie & Mom's Grand Finish:
Poor Ben had to hang back with us slow folks during the race or he would have finished it a lot sooner. Next year our goal is to run the 10k and win a prize!
Afterwards, the school had a ton of booths where we got some sweet S.W.A.G. 
 The girls got their faces painted and got to jump in the bouncy house. 
 Brook had a butterfly- Ellie got a flower 
 We also enjoyed a nice BBQ and got t-shirts and water bottles! It was so much fun! 
The girls had a little too much fun I think:

Thunder Storms In Denver

are cool.
