St. George Marathon!!!

That's right, HE DID IT!
Jason finished his first Marathon. We are so proud of him for such a huge accomplishment. He has been training for about 6 months and has ran more than 500 miles, so it better be worth it. I still don't think that I want to do a Marathon anytime soon!
We were able to see Jason and cheer him on at Mile 16. We had a few gliches on the way there, so it wasn't the easiest thing getting to that point, but I think that he really appreciated it. He had been cramping, but kept on going.

The last couple steps to the finish line. YOU DID IT!

There were a few guys from our neighborhood that ran it to.


We thought it would be fun to cheer our husbands on with matching shirts, as well as the kids. We may look like we just ran our own Marathon, but after standing out in the heat with kids and staring down the race course to see when it was our turn to cheer louder then you would understand. =)





Haven was also very proud of her Daddy!


There were five families that all went down to St. George for the weekend. We had to stay in 2 condos, so we stayed with the Williams and had a great time. The kids were so good and played together so well. Katelyn and Ben were inseparable. The kids had so much fun swimming all day, and just being kids and playing. It was a really fun weekend(except for the flu that was slowly making its way through the group, I happened to get it right after we got home, luckily the kids didn't get it to), and much needed!


The kids had a blast with this Flurp stuff, so gross! Thanks to Pat! The kids were also entertained with a sucker that had a real bug in it(which Pat bought), Jason promised them that he would actually eat it. Disgusting! The loved every minute of it, so thanks again Pat!

Good job Jason! What an accomplishment! One of Jason's old mission companions is our neighbor (Gabe Judkins) He was sharing fun mission stories and said he wants to get together with Jason next time you guys are down this way... so I'm just passing that on:)
