Jumping July - "Speedy Spaniard" & Evan's Birthday!

Finally, this will be my last post about July!  And...it tells of a very special day  - Evan's birthday/Pioneeer Day!
Every July 24th, the city of Spanish Fork hosts a 10 K race and a 1 mile race for kids.  Our family was well represented this year with Evan, Kelly, Allison, Jon Preston, Tricia, Kyra and even Sam running the long race.  In the 1 mile race for children 12 and under, we also had great participation!  Sareya, Aleeya, Lillian, Ella, Dorothy, Preston, Violet and even Evie (assisted by Alex) ran!

We are so proud of Preston - this was his first race and he did a great job!

Ella took 2nd place for her age group and Sam took 1st place for his age group!!!!  We are so proud of both of them!

Preston won a free round of golf at Gladstan Golf Course in the drawing for prizes after the race.  Way to go Preston!!

That evening we gathered at Evan and Kelly's home for Evan's birthday dinner, birthday pie and games.
Happy Birthday Evan!
 Hope you made a wish!

Caught in the act!  They don't look sorry to me!

It was a great Pioneer Day, race and birthday celebration!
