Monster Dash 2011

Kennedie ran in her first race! She has been asking Daddy when she can run in her own race, and here is her chance. She did awesome! They gave her a medal that she loves! Mikah loved playing while waiting for Dad to finish his 5k. I love the picture of Kennedie hugging Mikah. He loves his sister! Jeramie got 3rd place overall. He did amazing! We can't wait to run it again next year.

Jeramie's 1st Marathon!

WOW! Jeramie ran the St. George Marathon! Amazing! He trained all summer and ran the marathon in 5 hours 3 minutes 8 seconds. I asked if he is going to run it next year and he said YES! I think he's crazy! He wants to get a better time. We are so proud of him!

As you can tell, Kennedie loved posing for the camera while we waited for Daddy, and she even had to wear his medal for the family photo. Mikah wore himself out and slept for a while.

Hogle Zoo - July 2011

We took the kids to the zoo with the cousins. It was so much fun!

Kennedie can't wait to come back again.

This is Mikah's favorite place to be...on Dad's shoulders

The giraffes were the favorite

 

Don't mess with Mikah and his ice-cream! This is the first time he has had it.

Look at the grip he has on Jer's finger!

 Riding the carosel is so much fun!

Fun on the train

 with Mom and Dad

Fireworks 2011

We went to see the fireworks with Grandma Bonnie, Papa Thompson, and the rest of the family.

Kennedie covered her EYES the whole show because they were too LOUD.

Mikah was in awe the entire time. He thought they were amazing.

Summer 2011 (with Grandma Suzie)

We spent 2 weeks in the summer with Grandma Suzie. Jeramie tiled the kitchen while we were gone. Here are some pictures of our fun we had.

Happy Father's Day Dad!

Since we were away from home and Dad,

we sent him a picture for Father's Day.

In a cave. Our ancestors came through here

and had to stay for shelter during the winter

Blake looks happy to be here, doesn't he?

Fun in the hammock at Gayle's house

Swimming at Grandma's and so happy Dad flew up to get us

 So happy to be together after 2 weeks

Some of Jer's races

Here is Jer running the Spectrum 10k (March 2011). It's his first race other than a 5k so he was a little nervous, but he did amazing! He ran it in 44 min. 48 sec. WOW!

 The kids were cold, but we bundled them up.

Jer also ran in the Utah Valley 5k. He wanted to try the 1/2 marathon, but it was full.

The kids were good and Grandma Suzie, Grandpa Tubby, and Blake came to watch.

Mikah slept most of the time.

Kennedie's "champion" stance.

This is a re-posed picture since we didn't capture it the first time, and thought it was adorable.

Cute friends

Kennedie loves playing outside with friends.

I caught her spinning and had to get a picture.

These girls are adorable!

Crowns

Kennedie had to make crowns for everyone. We all had to have one and wear them.

Easter 2011

We had a ward Easter egg hunt. Kennedie wasn't quite sure what to do, but she got the hang of it and didn't want to stop. Mikah wasn't much into it, but he came along for the ride.

Kennedie also had a personal egg hunt at Grandma Bonnie's. She was an expert and had so many eggs to find. She loved it, can you tell?!

Easter morning was a little slow, she wasn't very happy...

but she eventually found all 6 of her eggs!
