We Did It!!

This past Saturday my dear friend Sandra and I ran our first ever mini marathon.  It had been a goal for both of us, and what better way to reach a goal than with a great friend, motivator, and encourager?!  It felt really good to be able to run the entire 13.1 miles, and we were both very pleased with how we finished.  Thanks for your encouragement throughout all the training and on race day, Sandra!  You are such an amazing friend, and I am so thankful to have done this together!

Happy 7th Birthday Landon!

Yes, that's right.  Landon is 7.  I say it everytime one of the kids has a birthday, and I'll say it again....I can't believe how fast time goes!  I absolutely love watching my kids grow over the years.  I remember thinking when they were younger how I wish I could stop time, but really, every stage of life is so fun!  Landon has grown up SO much over the past several years, and we couldn't be more proud of him.  Happy Birthday, Landon!  We love you so much!

Landon's friend Jacob came over to spend the night

Time for presents!

Make a wish!

A little surprise at school:-)

We actually gave Landon his birthday present a week early.  He LOVES his new dirtbike.  He is such a natural!  I still can't believe how grown up he is.....
