Catching Up on the past Couple Weeks

Hi all,

Just thought I'd hurry and do a quick post to catch everyone up a little bit.

Two weekends ago, on Saturday, we went with our friends out to the west desert to four-wheel with them. It was nice of them to invite us to tag along, and we're glad they did because we had lots of fun.


This is Ella and her friend, Bentley.

Just waiting to light the fire... always top priority for boys in the wilderness.

Sunday - Mother's Day we had Michelle's side of the family over for dinner. Her Grandma June is in town and her aunt, uncle, and some of their family also came. And, of course, Michelle's parents and brothers and their families came.

All of the great-grandkids with Grandma.

Dance pictures day is also a good one... too bad I was up in Ogden and couldn't make it. Looks like Ella might be enjoying this a little too much. ;)

What a little super-model, strike a pose.

Saturday, May 16th, Ogden Marathon
This was my first attempt at a marathon and now that it's over I can definitely say that I'll do another one. I finished in 3 hours 53 minutes which averages out to an 8:53 min/mile pace. I made my goal of breaking the 4 hour mark on my first one. What a beautiful day to do a marathon too, couldn't have asked for a better day.

The last 100 yards - Easton coming out to urge us on.

Me, Shawn, and our kids for a little post-run pic.

My training partner and runner in crime, Shawn. I owe him for getting me through this.

Well, now you're up to speed. Go and post something about your life so I have something to read.

I am still so impressed you did a marathon. Way to go. The Hawai'i pics are awesome. Michelle was telling us about the whale watching. Crazy. Adam would die to see that.
