St. George Marathon

As part of another great visit to Utah (loved being with such a fantasic fam, sweet and sad times as Dad was released as bishop) we tried something new - my (Pete's) first ever marathon, in the beautiful red rock mountains descending into St. George.


Julie and the boys were an awesome support crew. Julie brought the boys to the finish line wearing custom-made t-shirts - that really got to me. I think we were surprised at what a happy moment that was for us.


Likewise, I hadn't anticipated how cool and satisfying the race would be. It's much funner to race than train - with support stations, stunning scenery, thousands of fellow crazies, and of course that welcome crew at the end.


We were lucky to stay with generous friends who let the little men do some off-roading, too.

Dad drove fast but I wanted him to go even faster. He says I can do this drive in oh, maybe 34 years.

Hullo!

Long time since we've posted! We're so busy growing. Lots to do.

And for the record, as I do not dress myself yet, let it be known that I claim no political party affiliation. I likely will start my own revolution.

First 4th in Utah

Here's a video of several firsts for the boys.

Reunion in the Rockies

This past weekend we traveled to beautiful Keystone, Co to reune with all of Julie's sibs and her mom. What a great place and a fun weekend together. Highlights were just talking with really erudite and clever people, trying to keep up with roving bands of crazy little kids, a seriously fast and long alpine slide at Breckenridge, and time on the lake.
