What a Great first Vaughn Baird Reunion!!!!

Hi Vaughn Baird Clan!

Just have to say how AWESOME it was to have the first ever VB reunion around the Spudman! I was so excited to have so many participants in the race. I have to admit I was a little veclempt as each person crossed the finish line. I am so Proud of you all! Anyhoo, I thought we could all share our pictures. So......here are some I took with my phone, the camera won't currently read on my computer so those will have to come later.

Thanks again to all my kin for getting together. And major kudos to the racers!! Next time I hope we have even more.

Love you all, Sydney

Everybody ready for the big Race?

HOO-RAY! Glad to see some new posts on the blog! Sorry, I haven't posted in a while but I've been pretty busy, what with my RIGOROUS* training for the upcoming Spudman and all. It'll be great to see you all this weekend, I can't wait!!!

*Rigorous, as defined not by the distance and quality of my running, but the shear force of my awesome workout playlist, consisting of mostly 80's power ballads and foreign dance electronica. Here are a just few samples. Behold and tremble, teams Barlow, Garner and McConkie. Team Baird, Baird and Cooksey (Or, the Nefarious BBC) is fueled by the power of RRROOOCCCKKK!!! AAAARRGGHHHH!!!




(Keep watching. At about 1:14 this lady show's you how to really get into it.)

P.S. Thanks for posting Nicole! See if you can figure out how to help other people to be able to post. Sorry, I'm a good setter upper, but not a very good explainer...er. :-/

What Does Grandma Do on Vacation?

Is this not so funny! Oh, Grandma, you are a good sport. Thanks for letting us see what you do while you are on vacation :)
