Marathon Part II
I was really proud of the boys and all of their hard work. We spent a lot of time as a family trying to log their hours. This has inspired us to do a family 5K in June.
Hunter told us, "I REALLY earned this medal!" I agree.

MUSIC CITY KID'S MARATHON

This is Nashville's version of the big Marathon they host every spring. The kids have a couple of months to log twenty five miles. Then the day of the race (which is the evening before the big marathon, so it is more like the night of the race), they get to run their last mile.

 

 

 

 

Last round of Vacation pictures. We visited a manitee wildlife museum and got a couple of nice shots with a fake matinee. Tried to spot a real one, but they were somewhat ellusive.

 

 

 

 

Ashton tried really hard to take a picute on the beach, but between sun in the eyes and beach distractions, we only got one so, so shot.

 

 

 

 

Another round of vacation pictures.

 

 

 

 

More Vacation pictures. We did take a drive down the coast one day, and stopped at one of the national parks there, which was located, where else, the beach.

Floriday Vacay

 

 

 

 

Spring break in Florida. I love the beach vacations. We basically sit around on the beach all day relaxing. Who can beat that? Well throw in Grandma and Grandpa and it is the perfect vacation. One of the highlights of the vacation was when Caleb spotted a dolphin. We tried to take a picture, but only got the fin as proof.

 
My Sweet Caleb was baptized last month. Caleb has been preparing for this day for many months. He memorized his Articles of Faith and finished reading the Book of Mormon. After the baptism, he shared with Ashton and I how he felt warm inside as he was coming out of the water(cold water), and that he knew the feeling was the Holy Ghost telling him he was doing the right thing. He was also able to share this day with his friend Carlos. As a long time member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I have had the opportunity to attend many baptisms, but nothing compares to the spirit you feel at the baptism of one of your children. It is nice to know that your children are on the right path.

 
 

Pinewood Derby Season yet again. The boys (and their Dad) enjoyed a successfull run. Hunter's took 2nd overall and Caleb's was 2nd among the wolves. Pretty good showing consedering there were around eighty something cars. They did a great job desinging their cars. Hunter wanted a cobra car with a snake and flames. Caleb chose a phantom/pirate theme.

Thought this was cute, and warranted a couple of time wasted minutes putting it together. Perfect family picture. I look really skinny :D
