2008 Army Ten Miler

TEAM MASON runs the Army 10-Miler for the second year! 

Yes we did it.  Congratulations to all!  Kendall ran the fasted time this year!  She's really been working out - you go girl!!  Jen and I came in 2nd, great running for to "old" retired Army bums who haven't been working out!!!.  Great job to Mom and Dad for going the distance.  Congrats to Jackie on her virgin run!!  And a special "shout-out" to my sister Kim, it was a tough summer, but she ran her butt off and made the distance!  Can't wait to next year, maybe I'll be able to get my nephew Josh to run since I can't get Tim or Suzette to run (Josh is at Marine Boot Camp and is going to be stationed in Washington D.C. with the U.S. Marine Corps Band so I'm sure he'll be thrilled to run the Army race with us, but you won't find me at the Marine Marathon any time soon....)

Before  After
 No Clay did not run, he didn't even stay and take pictures, he rode 100 miles on his bike the day before and sleep in the car during the race
 A very healthy lunch after the race!!

Kendall and Michelle run the Golden Gate Bridge!

On August 3rd Kendall and I ran the San Francisco 1/2 Marathon. It was a great trip. The views during the run (almost) made the hills we had to run worth it!!
Looking forward to the Army 10-miler in October.

Timmy comes to town!!!

For my birthday, Clayton got me tickets to see my favorite male country singer - Tim McGraw - Thanks Babe!! We went on Friday and I had a fabulous time!! The open acts were Halfway to Hazard and Jason Aldean. It was great (not as great as seeing him with you Suzette!)

My camera took really bad pictures, but a few came out ok.

Toby Keith w/ Montgomery Gentry, my favorite duo, are coming to Salt Lake September 20th, I'm working on convincing him I have to go to that one too!

Matthew's the big 12!

There seems to be lots happening in Park City lately! Matthew turned 12 today. One more year and he'll be a teenager like his sisters (hopefully not exactly like his sisters!) We cooked out and had cake with strawberries and kool-whip. It was a beautiful day in Utah. Beats the snow we had on my birthday - three days ago!!! The bottom picture is Scooter sleeping in this morning-too cute, I had to add it.

Momma turns 40!

LORDY, LORDY, LORDY,
SHELLY'S 40,
AIN'T THAT NIFTY,
IN 10 MORE YEARS
SHE'S GOING TO BE 50!

Mason/Lewis Trip to Yellowstone N.P.

Since Mom and Dad Mason came to Utah to wath their granddaughter graduate, we decided to visit Yellowstone National Park. As impossible to believe, the weather there was colder than Park City. It dropped down to below freezing. We stayed in a cabin at the Grand Teton National Park and drove around Yellowstone visiting "old faithful" and all the other sights, saw lots of animals and snow. The trip was a long one and we tried to cram it all into two days.

We definitely need to plan a week next time and see the the other half or more that we missed. We also need to bring gloves and hats as it sleeted on us when we where waiting for "old faithful" to erupt.

Matthew was not impressed by the show, he thought it would start with a big bang and be "bigger."

All in all I think it was a nice way to spend time with the family.

Megan Graduates!

Can you believe it, one down, two to go!! Just kidding...

On Friday June 6, 2008 Megan graduated from Park City High School, Park City, Utah. The weather was a cold and very windy 55 degrees. We sat outside but luckily we brought lots of blankets with us. The graduating class was around 320 but they managed to get it all done in exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes. It was a very nice ceremony.



Good Luck to Megan as her new journey in life begins! Love you, Mom and Dad, Marissa and Matt!
