PAINTERS HALF MARATHON/ 5K

This last weekend we went to St George for the Painters Half Marathon and 5k.

We wanted to spend a weekend away without the kids so it was a good excuse to head south for a few days. Its so fun to be able to hang out with our friends and enjoy the sunny skies! It definitely makes us want to get back as soon as possible!

Brennon did very well in the half marathon, coming in at 1 hour and 28 min. He was only 4 minutes from qualifying for Boston. He killed it! It was so awesome! We had lots of friends who ran it and they all did great. Joni and I did the 5k, It was fun to run it together. I did fall a little behind her at the end, she is in much better shape than I am. It was good times!

Zach's 10th Birthday

ZACH'S 10th BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Zach had a blast at his family party. (We did it a few days before his birthday.)

I wasn't sure how the whole fam. would fit in our little house but, we did it and it wasn't too tight.

It was actually really fun ! Zach is so lucky to have such a great family who loves him and supports him. He was spoiled with tons of fun gifts and has had fun playing with all his new toys.

Thanks to everyone who came!!!!!!!!

Cute boy!!!!!!!! I can't believe my baby boy is 10!!! We just love this kid! He is so good to his sisters and is a great son. We are so proud of the smart, fun, and sweet kid he is.

We took his friends sledding at Rock Canyon Park.

It was pretty icy so they were flying down this hill.

We had a fun New Years with our good friends, The Wades.

We started the night out with some pizza and then we went sledding on a awesome hill in sandy.

We went back to Wades and watched Transfomers, the adults took a little nap until midnight came. We rang in the new years by banging pots and pans and doing sparklers. Thanks to the Wades for a fun night! We love you guys-

Zach, Parker, and Max

We went snowboarding last week with Just and Court ( of course, they skied.) There was a ton of powder which made for a fun and tiring day.

OPENING PRESENTS CHRISTMAS MORNING.......AT 4:30!!!

We had a great Christmas! It started Christmas eve at Grandma and Grandpa Millers house; we opened presents and had dinner with all Brennon's fam. We came home, opened pj's and ornaments and then climbed in bed so Santa could come. The kids were too excited and woke us up at..........3 IN THE MORNING! We tried to get the kids to go back to bed but, finally gave in at 4:30!!!!!! We were pretty tired and pretty out of it most of the morning, but we had a blast.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Lewis's for dinner and more present opening. We were very spoiled this year! We are so grateful for all the fun we had spending time with our families and all the yummy food!
