Records Of The Day!!!

Today there was a race and festival in my town.  

During this day two great records were set.

First, a personal record - 

I ran a 4 mile race, before this my longest race had been a 3K and I don't know that I ran one of those since Middle School.  It went quite well with my dear husband staying at my side, until I hit about 28 minutes which was the longest run I had done in training. But I got through that wall and made it all the way in 41:30!!!!!

Also a Guinness World Record was set this day in my town!

Today they celebrated the 100th Year of the rail station being here.  As part of celebrating that they decided to see if they could break the standing record of 396  wooden train whistles blown simultaneously.  Sadly I did not have a whistle to blow so they didn't let me in but they still broke the record with 1,210 whistles being blown simultaneously.  If you are wondering what that sounds like, I taped it to share with the world.

It has been a fun day.  I wonder what records I will be able to set or see set next!!!

Time to Learn Something New!

Chloe after just a few times practicing without her training wheels has figured it all out!!!  

It is too cute to see someone so small on two wheels!

Our neighbor was so impressed with Chloe trying that she asked her daughter if she wanted to try.  That is who else is in the video learning to ride.  It was a fun night hanging out with neighbors in the street.

Piano Recital

My kids had their first piano recital recently and I wanted to share what a great job they did.  

They take lessons from a boy in the ward and so the recital was at the church combined with the students of another girl from the ward that has been teaching.

Here they are ready to go in!

Jamie played "Old Pig Donald"

Lizzie played "Sea Story"

Not bad for just three months of lessons or so.  I am very proud of these kids!!!
