Fun Utah Weekend

We just completed a great Utah weekend. One of the things that I love about living in Utah is the variety of outdoor activites. On Saturday Kim and Chris took Jacob and Anna on a rafting trip down the Provo River. The kids had a BLAST! Jacob is now saving his pennies so he can buy a raft. Also on Saturday we ran in the Cedar Hills 5k. This has become an annual event for us and I push Jacob and Anna in a jogging stroller while I doing my best to avoid a heart attack. Their cheers of "Go Daddy!" and "Hurry Daddy, you're loosing!" must have been more effective this year as I dropped my time by 4:30.

And, of course, we spent most of the weekend holding Nathan. He's weighing in at about 8lbs now and is doing great. Jennifer will not let me tell you what she's weighing in at, but she's also doing great. :-)

Wasatch Back Relay

A few months ago I said I was training for a relay from Logan to Park City. Well, the race happened the weekend before Nathan was born and I actually finished it (my 3 legs equaled about 15 miles). The race was a blast -- we should do it next year as a family (seriously). We began Friday morning at 8AM and finished the race Saturday at 1:50PM. I beat my estimated time (which I set at a turtle's pace) and completed my segments without walking (lots of Advil...and some would interpret my run as a walk). Here are a few pictures -- the last one shows the altitude change along the race route.

So who wants to do the race next year?

Nathan is born

Nathan Lawrence Dutton was born on Wednesday morning. He is 6 lbs 15 oz and measures 20.5 inches long. Baby and mother are great.
