Party of Five

Two weeks ago Jared, Amber, Andrea and I ran A Half Marathon here in Boise!( the finish line was home plate of the Boise Hawks Baseball team) It was awesome, Jared ran it in 1 hour and 45 min, the girls did it in 2 hours and 30 min. It was the hardest physical thing I have ever done, (aside from delivering a child.) I never thought it was possible, because I am just not a runner, but with my sister here who is a runner, it was easier to stay motivated. It truely amazes me what you can accomplish when you put your mind and heart into something. I will never forget that day, the last 4 miles, my knees, hips and ankles hurt, we were all tired, poor Andrea had a bad cramp, but we kept going and ran the whole way! I was so proud of us all as we crossed the finish line together, It was really special to run with Amber and Andrea. What an experience!

For the past week, Andrea and the kids have been up here visiting. We all had a great time. Here are some of the pictures Andrea took when we dressed the kids up.
