RACE DAY! With my friends just minutes before the start.
Danene, Angie, me and Jessica.

The race is on.....

Mile 13 was my favorite spot. Our families were there to cheer us on and Marshall was running as fast as he could to catch me to give me a kiss. I had to turn around and run back to kiss him or I would have never forgiven myself. This was at the top of the spillway of Pineview Reservoir. Mile 17 and almost all downhill from here! The day was perfect. The temperature and the weather was just right and the canyon was gorgeous.Why is that lady in the background smiling so big? She's making me look bad. Please tell me she only ran the half marathon or even better, the 5 K. I was pooped! It might look close to you, but I swear that finish line was moving away from me.

We did it!

Me, Jessica and Angie. Glad we did it! Glad to be done!

Favorite poster from the race: "Anyone can run. It takes a special kind of idiot to run a marathon!" Amen!

Marshall's Family Party

On Mother's Day weekend, we went on a picnic with Marshall's birth-family. Marshall and Holli. What some cuties! I love them both to pieces! Eating with the fam. Grandpa Joel bought everyone an ice cream from the ice cream truck.

Marshall and Kennedy playing and having fun. I think Marshall was the one having fun playing 'don't let Ken have the ball'.

What is it?

A snake! At least it was already dead!

Playing games with the fam.

Playing on the playground with the cousins.

What a great day! We are so lucky to have our little Marshall-man and we are so blessed to have such a great relationship with his birth-family. They are such good people and we're so blessed to be able to share our lives and our family with them.
