I just want to say how proud I am of Colby. He ran his first half marathon on Saturday the 8th of August. He had to wake up around 3:00am in the morning so that he could make it to Provo and on the bus that takes you to the top of the canyon for the race. The race started about 7:00am. Thanks to Ron and Nancy I was able to see him at the end. Ron and Nancy picked the girls and me up at 7:00am, just in time to see Colby running to the finish. He ran 13 miles in 1:59:36. Just under two hours. Great job Honey, you did awesome. Hopefully next time I can say that I got to run too.
Yay Daddy!! We were SO surprised to see him looking so good. I thought he'd have to drag himself across the finish. Nope, he proved me wrong. He said the only bad part is that he was keeping pace with a bunch of girls. I'm sure he liked that more then he was putting on though. lol. He only walked once and that was to grab a drink of water at one of the watering stations.
His brother Zach instigated the whole thing. He talked Colby and their friend Jess into running with them. Poor Jess wore his soccer shoes with no padding and felt like his feet were broken. Zach and Colby went back to find him and jogged with him to the finish line. Good job boys!
Camrie showing how fast she can run.
Jamie showing how fast she can run. The girls both had a good time, and were able to just run around and play on the grass while we waited. They were so excited and cheered for Colby when he passed by.
Today is Jamie's first day of Kindergarten. I had to go in and wake her up at 7:00 this morning. She said she was still tired and I told her she needed to get up and get ready for school, she just smiled and then pulled the cover over her head. I didn't feel to bad about waking her up since she's usually the one waking me up at 7:00 in the morning. She got up ate her breakfast burrito, changed her clothes, got her hair done, brushed her teeth, took a few pictures, then at 7:50 we went in and got Camrie out of bed, had her go potty and put them in the jogging stroller with a nice warm blanket. The bus showed up about 10 after 8:00. It's a good thing we left at 8:00 because it took me five minutes to walk to the bus stop. There were a lot of kids waiting, but looks like Jamie is probably the only Kindergartner taking the bus in our neighborhood. I was glad to see Jolene and KennaRae, a couple of my ward friends waiting with their kids too. I hope Jamie has a super fun day today.
