Roger Curran Invitational, Nampa Sept 10th
It was fun to see Brittany and Brooke run. (Brooke pictured above) They did really well. Brittany got 10th for Eagle JV and Brooke got 11th for Eagle Varsity. Waiting for Kacie's race to start. Gerald and Wanda are always so good to support their grandchildren. Grandma Sue wanted to be there too, but wasn't able to. Aunt Anita was put in the hospital Sept. 4th and is now living with them until she can get her cottage built by the house.Mallory Jensen, Kacie, Sailor & Regan Hartley, Syra Phillips, Corrin Shuster & Jocie Hartley
Kacie had a harder time today due to the heat and her race was at 1:30 so she didn't PR at 22.05 minutes. Brooke was so good to cheer her on by running beside her and it was really nice of Nanette to buy her a T-shirt. Kacie's team was able to go to Roaring Springs after and she had a really good time, but boy was she ever ready for bed by 10pm and getting up for church was not fun, but she made it. Thank goodness they had some playground equipment to keep Brady entertained, plus he had a friend to play with also...Nate Jensen. They were cute together. After the races, Brady and I went to see Brandon and give him some Nike shirts for school. He didn't talk, but he gave us a big hug and kiss.

Kacie's Running Cross Country
We are so proud of Kacie doing cross country this year. It hasn't been easy for her, but we are so glad that she is willing to try. August 26th was her first time trial of 1.3 miles. It was 100 degrees and I was a little scared she wasn't going to make it, but she finished it (15.31 min) which is what counted. After the race she said her kidney was hurting. The following Sunday we had to take her to the doctor for a UTI and the doc said she was showing signs of dehydration so the next day I called her kidney doctor, Dr. Jenkins, and he wasn't too concerned about her. He just said to make sure she keeps drinking lots of water during the day and that she was probably just mistaking a side ache as her kidney pain. He really wanted to encourage her to keep running because it will be so good for her. That was a relief.
Her first official race was in New Plymouth on September 1st (our 22nd Anniversary). She ran a 3000 meter which is 1.9 miles. We were both so happy that she wasn't last, in fact there were six behind her. She did it in 21.02 min. Gerald and Wanda came to cheer her on which was really nice. Kacie said it was fun and not as long as she thought it was going to be. Hopefully each time she can gain more and more confidence that she can do it. I keep telling her what counts is that she improves each time and that she finishes the race. Kacie's team, The Nyssa Middle School girls got 1st place!!!
