Grandpa's Boots

We enjoyed a wonderful visit from my parents in March. The boys love them and are never short on being entertained. It is a well known fact that my dad wears cowboy boots a good portion of the time. Well, Preston and Jackson love shoes and are always trying to put them on their feet or on ours. One afternoon they found Grandpas boots and were trying really hard to step into them so I finally helped them out.



Grandma's 90th

After I ran in my Half Marathon we jumped in the car and drove to Estes Park just north of Denver for Eric's grandmas 90th birthday party. We had two huge houses rented for Eric's family and extended family. Because of the race we missed the actual birthday party but we still had the opportunity to spend the rest of the weekend with her and the rest of the family. Eric's cousins are great organizers and always think of everything. Grandma really enjoyed the weekend. She is an amazing lady and great example to all of us.

Good Times

In March I had the opportunity to run in the Canyonlands Half Marathon in Moab for the second year in a row with my sister. It was a blast! The adrenaline that runs through you is amazing! This year my brother-in-law ran with us and I'm happy to say we all finished on our own two feet and not on a cart. I was exhausted at the end but it was great to be able to get high fives from my boys at the finish line.
