Marathon news...

Well, I didn't get into the NYC Marathon, which I am pretty bummed about, but neither did my dad, or Jill, so it's ok, we can all just run it another year. So, I have been looking for another marathon to do and am thinking about the Dunkin' Donuts Cape Cod Marathon (I know, how ironic that Dunkin' Donuts is the title sponsor for an event where people run 26.2 miles), on October 26th, so only a week earlier than NYC. Then, on November 9th, the perfect reward for running a marathon... an awesome Mexican cruise with the Olson fam, and NO KIDS (at least not mine!!). 

If anyone else knows of a cool marathon back east around the same time, let me know, my options are still wide open!

Marathon and more...

Asher, Kadin and Whit

My sister Whit and her husband Ben ran the SLC marathon this weekend. Whit and the boys came into to town a few days early to hang out with us. It actually ended up being quite the busy week, so I felt like I didn't get to visit with my sis too much, but that's ok. It was also hard when we did have down time, as that was usually taken up with feeding Sayer, and talking over a crying baby (as that is what feeding time consists of these days) is not the easiest thing. Whit was so great to take over though, and soothe the poor little guy, when I needed a break.

Ben and Whit did an awesome job in the marathon. It was Ben's first and he said is was "awesome"!. Congrats Ben and Whit for finishing with an awesome time!

After they finished, we went to lunch at CPK, which was delish. It was a miracle to have both of our children asleep at a busy restaurant. That is really unheard of for Asher, especially when there is food involved. We later found out that he was sick, which is why he was so abnormally tired and sad.
Grandpa was so nice to sit and read to Asher when he wasn't feeling well. It has been so fun to see my dad with mine and Whit's boys, he is such a good grandpa, very doting. He just thinks his grandsons are so cute.
