Millika asked her friend Jon to the Sadies dance in the end of October.

Okay, we are not used to having a "kid" that is so INTO dances and going on dates etc. But we knew we were in for it with Millika. It is Girl's choice for the upcoming Sadies Dance and Millika was of course going to go. Here is how she asked and her answer back :o)

 First she dropped of a cub of butter with Jon's name on it.

 Then about 1 hour later she came back and dropped this poster and the popcorn off with her name hidden in it. Clever idea . Look at Lulu eying the popcorn :o) She is such a CUTE dog. We LOVE you Lulu!!!

Here is Jon's answer back. Great responds and keeping the theme going . They are going to have a FUN time at Sadies.

No more a Teen-ager, Mika turned 20 years old :o)

Yes, it is TRUE I am a Mother of a 20 year old. WOW... how time flies. I still remember so clearly when I saw her BEAUTIFUL face for the first time. She was so tiny and so perfect. And now 20 years has pasted and she is STILL BEAUTIFUL and still PERFECT :o)

 A little tired but it was also VERY early for Mika to get up. 6:30 AM so Millika come be part of it :o)

 We got her a locket so she can put a picture in it of McKay. It has footprints on the front and on the back it says "It was then that I carried you". Sweet saying and she loved it!!

AND she got a t-shirt that says Denmark Copenhagen Mission in honor of McKay and our sweet family in Denmark :o)

It was a great birthday and she is for sure a keeper even AFTER 20 LONG years. We LOVE you Mika!!!

Millika at Homecoming dance at Woods Cross High School.

After having raced in a HUGE Cross country meet in Idaho, we hurried home and Millika got ready for the Homecoming Dace at Woods Cross High School.

 

 Millika and Caden ready for the dance.

What is that move with her foot :o) ?

 Haley and Millika, great friends!

 4 runner friends have a party together!

What a group. They are all running together at the High School and now they are having fun together at the after school stuff. It is a wonderful group of "kids".

Millika had a great time even though it was really short because we can home so last from Idaho. But still a great time and lots of fun!!

Bob Firman Invitational in Boise Idaho

Woods Cross was once again going to the Bob Firman Invitational in Boise Idaho. It is one of the BIGGEST meets in the Western US and more than 3000 runners would be racing.

Millika was running in the Varsity 1 Division with 193 total girls running. The course has sand, dirt road, hill, flat and lots of other fun stuff and it a 5K. It is a very spectator friendly course and one of my favorites.

Millika took 2nd place this year and ran in 19 min 13 sec about 13 seconds faster than last year in the same race. A great race and a very fun time in Idaho.

 She had a bad start and was 50th or so but moved all the way up to 2nd place by around the 1 mile mark.

    Getting interviewed for a little fun video.

2nd out of 193 Varsity girls that ran in her division. Not bad at all and a fun race to watch!

Home Meet at Woods Cross High School with Highland and Clearfield High Schools.

Every year we have a home meet at Woods Cross and every year the coaches hols Millika back because we have a big meet later the same week. This was no different this year and still she pulled out a win. The course is 3.05 miles and she ran it in the slow pace of 20 min 40 sec. It was 14 sec better than last year but she will NEVER brake the school record for this course ;o)

 

 She has time to smile and joke around with the spectators. She must not be running at full speed!

She was told she could run a little faster on the 2nd lap and she took off. She won the race easy and it looked like it was just a regular training run for her which it really was. NO race pace for her today but a win is a win ;o).

Davis District meet in Cross Country 2013

Millika raced today in the Davis District meet in Cross Country 2013. All the schools were there racing and 66 Varsity girls were racing. The course was 2.75 miles (4.4 KM) and it is ALL flat no hills at all. So if you are a good sprinter it is a great course for you.

 Ready set go. 66 girls ready to run :o)

Millika ran the course in 17 min 1 sec and took 5th in the District this year. Not bad at all and she ran 26 seconds faster than in the same race last year! Good job Peeps you are having a wonderful season!

Murray Invitational 2013 with Millika :o)

Millika raced today in the Murray Invitational. She was running with the Varsity Girls group. Here are some of the 280 girls running. It was a FUN day and a GREAT race for her!!

 280 Varsity Girls and some of the BEST runners from MANY of the Utah High Schools.

 

 Daddy, Mille, Grandma and Grandpa. She does look a little tired.

 14th and ran the 5 KM in 18 min 30 Sec. She took 48 seconds off from her time last year in the same race.

 Sweet Daddy HUG!!
