Dad's Day

Dad's are just awesome, especially when you have two of them like me. They are polar opposites but I love them so much. I have been very lucky to have these two loving and supportive men in my life. Happy Father's Day Dad and Dave!

Dad numero uno: Charles Douglas Rice. I definitely inherited his athleticism, skin color, and lips among other things :)

Fav memories: going to Corpus, our trip to Vegas, eating SO much shrimp fried rice at his house, driving his truck when I was basically 10.

I loved to fly with my dad even though my mom would FREAK out :)

My sis, Taelor, pops, and me

Dad numero dos: David Bryan Tate

Fav memories: GARNER, eating his FAMOUS burgers, hearing him scream at the TV during UT or Cowboys football games, anticipating him running stop signs on drives to Grandmommy's...huh mom?

Teton Dam Marathon

This weekend Sadie (sis in law), Tami (mom in law), Whitney (cousin in law), Lindsey (cousin in law), Kristen (family friend), and I ran the TETON DAM MARATHON! We were a relay team so each of us ran either 4 or 5 miles (But I think Whit ran way more than that and did SO awesome!) We all were pretty nervous because some of us hadn't trained at all (hehe Linds and I). But we all managed to get GREAT times, and we had so much fun (besides that it was still freezing outside in mid June ugh!) Can't wait till next year!

Linds, Whit, Sadie, Tami, Me

I saw Maria Proudfoot! She is from my Texas church ward, and my FAV sunday school teacher! She is seriously super woman. She just had a super cute baby recently and ran the WHOLE 26.2 mile marathon. Impressive!

Runner #1: Sadie!

Runner #3: Me!

Almost to the trade off spot!

So happy to be finished.

Runner #4: Linds!

Runner #5: Tami! We all agreed that Tami was the M.V.P. of our race. She ran almost all 4 miles up a HUGE hill, and she ran it FAST. Good job, Tam!

Relief!

Runner #6: Whit!

Yay it's over!

Whit carried us to the finish line!

We all survived and had a great time together.

Eating...

Still eating...

STILL eating...

Happy it's over, Linds?

My #1 fan :)

We got first place! Not really. But they gave us sweet medals any who.

Pretty Bird

This little guy scared the crap out of me. I thought it was a huge moth, and every time I would try to walk past it it would start chasing me. Turns out it was a fearless hummingbird. It let me get this close to it!

Revamped!

Just updated mi photo blog! Check it out!

Happy B-day, TAMI!!

Matt's mom turned the big 5-0 yesterday! We wanted to make sure everyone knew so we decorated her office with black decor!

We went to Lucy's Pizza for dinner!

Of course we had to have a mini photo shoot after dinner...

Always gotta have the silly faces picture. Someday Larry will join us.

James didn't want his picture taken because Sadie said there was food in his teeth.
