Seth and I took a quick trip to Vegas when the race was over. We spent time relaxing at the pool, played the slots for a minute (we had vouchers for the slots, it wasn't our money, so technically it wasn't gambling), and indulged ourselves at the Cheesecake Factory. After feeling a little chunks, we headed over to play the over sized piano and FAO Schwartz (you know the one from BIG?). Here's Seth performing a beautiful rendition of "Chopsticks"...with his feet.

My Super Talented Seth
In case you wanted to see...
Seth and I are moving out of our apartment into a condo we just bought. We never really had anyone over to see our apartment except of couple of people. Here's what it looked like! We're going to be better about having people over in our new place once it's all put together.
Run, Drive, Sleep, Repeat
This past weekend Seth and I ran in the Ragnar Relay-Wasatch Back. It's a relay race that starts in Logan and ends in Park City, 176 miles. Each team has 12 people, six in each van. Every member of the team runs 3 legs of the race ranging from 3.5-7.0 miles. The race takes about 24 hours. In our van we had Seth, my dad, our good family friends Taylor and Lynn Coulam, my cousin Tyler's wife Christina, and myself. Every one in our van did pretty well. My dad's first run was really tough, but the old man pulled it off with style. Seth had the hardest leg of the race, "The Ragnar." Seth and I ran this race last year and he had the Ragnar then too. Last year he refused water during it and it refused water again. It's 4 miles straight up hill. Most people walk it and take lots of water breaks, Seth ran the whole thing without water. Show off. :) The other van were all people from my dad's work. Originally our entire team was going to be made up of family members but things came up last minute and my dad was scrambling to get the team together. My dad did a great job at organizing our team, providing yummy food and lots of cool, refreshing drinks! Thanks Dad! Oh, I forgot to mention it was hotter than H-E-double hockey sticks the first day of the run. Taylor said that he's inspired to make good choices in his life because he really does not want to end up in hell if it's even as close to as hot as it was on the run!
Havasupai
A couple of weekends ago Seth and I went down to Havasupai with Dan and Rachel Olsen. Havasupai is this little Native American village in the middle of the desert in Arizona. It's amazing though, you hike 12 miles in total desert and then come upon amazing clear blue waterfalls! If you don't want to hike in to camp you can rent a donkey or be flown in by a helicopter, but we think that's cheating. The hike out is a killer but it's so worth it.

One year down, 3 more to go
Seth had to miss Lanx's graduation to study for his finals. When I came home from her graduation this is what I saw. But now he's done! He really did awesome this year and he never seemed to get too stressed out. There were a few weekends when he'd study pretty much the entire weekend but he makes medical school seem pretty easy. He has a month off until we go to Europe so he's doing some research for a doctor and is actually getting paid for it, which is great. Seth also just found out that his Master's research is getting published! I could tell you what it's about but I have absolutely no idea. I'm super proud of Seth!
Hey-Tates-Whoa-Dates is quite the hot item these days. She has two lifeguarding jobs for the summer and is enjoying getting paid to get a nice golden tan. Here she is at Lanx's graduation practicing looking hot.
Lanxie Graduated!
Earlier this month sweet Lanx graduated from high school. It's so weird to me that she's old enough to now live on her own and be done with school. I still remember the day we were sitting in front of my mom's bathroom mirror and I was trying to help her say her R's. " Say Tigerrrrrrr"...."Tigoooooo." Lanx graduated with a 3.99, better than any of the other Bluth kids ever came close to. She has a full ride scholarship to UVU and will be playing for the girls soccer team. She was also the only girl in the senior class to win an Outstanding Student Athlete award.
Lanx is such a great girl and I know none of us could live without her!
