"Dels Sol Ragnar Relay 204 miles"




On Feb 27th and 28th me and 11 other friends and family ran a relay from Prescott to Mesa, AZ. It was so much fun. This was my 3rd relay I've done, and I'm addicted. My first relay I did was with my sister-in-law Raquel and an awesome group of women from Joe City. It was so much fun I put my own team together to run the Wasatch Back relay, which is in Utah. I had two of my sisters Nikki and Karleen, my amazing friend Lori Nelson, my sister from another father Zhalore, and Raquel run it with me. It was such a blast we decided to do the Del Sol. Now we are all addicted! Well I think all of us except Raquel, but we make her do it anyway.

My sister Marinda joined us this year for the Del Sol and my mom and sister-in-law Amy drove the van. We had SO much fun! You would think if we had a weekend together we would pick a relaxing spa and pamper ourselves, oh no not us! If you no us Hughes girls, we like to torture ourselves instead. We all had such a great time, and we did a great job too. We took 3rd place, in the all women's team division, and no, there weren't 3 teams. We were so proud of ourselves and are so excited to do Wasatch Back in June. I have my cousin Deni and some awesome friends joining us. We are so excited, especially since we did so well. We are hoping to kick some butt. My sister-in-law Raquel won't be joining us this time and we are so sad, "We will miss you Raquelly!" To all my team mates out there I love ya and can't wait to see ya in June!!!

Briggs Reed "Pinewood Derby Winner!"




Briggs cub scout pack had there Pinewood Derby on 2-27-09. He took first place. He was so excited, we all were. Before he built it with Chris he got on the computer and googled Pinewood Derby cars. He printed off a whole bunch of designs, and then he and Chris designed it together. They made a great team.

Briggs also got an award for most futuristic. When he went up to get his award he said, "not what I was going for, but I'll take it." I wasn't there, but I guess everyone got a real kick out of it. Chris and I are so proud of Briggs....I went to his parent teacher conference last night, and he is doing such an amazing job! He is such a hard worker and is always excelling in everything he does. He is an AMAZING KID!
