Tiger Lilly

Meet the new addition to our family... This is Tiger Lilly.. we call her Lilly for short but she is a doll!! She's about 8 inches long and she has already started biting everything!! She looks so much like Layla and is actually Layla's niece.. She is so cuddly and her back legs are bowed which makes her even more cute!! We love her so much already.. We still miss Freckles but she helps alittle!!

MY BEST FRIEND!

I LOVE Freckles McDuggan..

Tonight my best friend died.. His name was Freckles and I've known him for 16 years! He was my dog. my companion. my friend. He will always be in my heart and I will forever remember how he use to smile at me when I came home from school., and the freckles that were on his nose-the reason we named him Freckles! This dog was not an ordinary dog, no he was extrordinary. He loved chasing cats, stilling neighbors leather gloves from there garages, playing ball, jumping off the deck at full speed chasing magpies, begging for food, and always making you smile when you had a bad day. You may not think thats so great but you just had to know him.. He had a great spirit. He had been sick for a while and we knew this day would come but that doesn't make it any easier. He died peacefully in my arms, we buried him with some of his favorite things.. a ball, leather glove, and a treat! When I get to heaven I will say, "Come here big boy." and hold him in my arms and give him a kiss on his wet nose.. He will be sorely missed!! I love you Freckles McDuggan Unck.. Good bye for now.. till we meet again! :) -You'll always be in my heart!

Woot Woot!! 13.1 Baby..

This last weekend me, Ashley, and my mom went down to St. George for the weekend.. Me and my mom went down to run the St. George half marathon and we decided to make it a girls weekend. We stayed at a spa and got massages after the race and it was a very relaxing weekend.. (besides running 13 miles!) I hadn't been training very good for the race and i had some anxiety about it but i wanted to finish, i didn't necessarily care about my time! The race was beautiful.. We ran through snow canyon and the red rock was amazing! hands down best view of any race i've ran before! The next day i woke up after the race and couldn't move a muscle without pain.. ha! Even now i'm home it takes me 5 minutes to get up the stairs.. i guess it will teach me never to run without training!! ha.. but i'm so proud of my mom she finished and did great!! We had a good time and our next race will be in Moab in December.. i'm really excited to start back in on my training and hopeful feel healthier. iloverunning!

Me and Ashley got some sweet tatts!! hard core eh?

This is how we felt after...

VICTORY!
We did it!
