Superheroes

So... all the superheroes (or so it seemed) in our house were broken. So I went to Walgreens, bought some superglue, and repaired them all. They were so happy they broke out in a spontaneous dance. I was lucky to have the camera ready.

London's Run

Posted by Picasa
Last year Lori Leetham and I started running and ran our first race, London's Run, 10K. We decided to do the run again this year and see if we could beat our time. All of our hard work paid off. We have been faithfully getting up before the sun for the past year! Last year we ran the 6.2 miles in 1:15 and this year we pulled it off in 1:07! About mile 4 we both wanted to walk, but we worked through that tough mile and pressed forward! Mike decided he wanted to run the 2 mile this year with Stephen and Sadie. They did a great job. Stephen broke away from Mike and Sadie and finished in 25 minutes and Mike and Sadie finished in approximately 31 minutes! Good job guys!! Maybe next year I will take on the 1/2 marathon, but first I have to take on my next challenge.....Ragnar Relay on Feb. 27-28, 201.9 miles from Prescott, AZ to Mesa, AZ. Don't worry, I am not totally insane, just a bit crazy. I will not be running the whole 201.9 miles alone. A team of 12 people will be running together, each taking three legs of the race. I will be running approximately 16 miles. I will let you all know how it goes!

Kind of spur of the moment, we decided to go up to Utah to visit Mike's family last weekend. My youngest brother had twins 9 months, and like the slacker I am, we haven't been up to see the girls. So we flew up Friday night, and managed to get back home Monday on the 2nd flight we tried. It was a very nice trip, it has been a long time since we have all been together.

Mike and Laura through the years


Recently I compiled 42 images of Laura and myself through the years. The earliest was taken before we were married, the newest just this month. They represent a lot of years, a lot of places, and a lot of love.

Sleds and Snowmen

After a night in the hotel in Flagstaff, we made the quick drive to Wing Mountain to go sledding. We had a good time and none of the kids ended up in the hospital!

Snowballs and Snowmen


Up to Flagstaff we went, on New Years day, in search of snow and sleds. We ended up at a park, and the snowball fight was on,
