Well... this weekend was very exciting... Jer and three of his brothers and sisters ran AND FINISHED the Top of Utah Marathon. It's really neat that they were able to do this together! We went up on Friday so that Jer could check in early and we got to stay with my sister Janelle and my cousin Sarah (They're roommates if you didn't know...) The most memorable thing about the trip was not the half hour that Sammy spent crying... but Ada parroting the Harry Potter book on tape that we were listening to... Hearing an almost 2 year old try to imitate a giant saying, "Herme where Hager?" was just unforgettable. Then we went out to eat with my sister, cousin, and their roommate, and Jer's three siblings and their spouses. We were going to go to the Logan Temple while we were there... but we forgot Sunday clothes... we had our temple clothes with us... I just didn't feel comfortable walking into the temple in our street clothes. The most exciting part of the day was trying to get Ada to sleep. She usually sleeps just fine... You put her in her bed and say goodnight and you don't hear another peep... but because we were all camping out on the floor... she kept going from person to person trying to play. Jer ended up sleeping in her bed and she slept with me so that Jer could get a little sleep. My favorite was... she kept leaning over and kissing me... then she'd giggle and put her binkie back in. Saturday... we got up at 4am to drop Jer off at the buses, then I went back to get kids ready to go cheer on dad.
Jer finished in 3 hr. 45 mins.... the same time that he got on the last marathon... but he said he enjoyed this one more... he had Jay to talk to the whole way. Ada had a break down and was bawling from about 15 mins before Jer came in until about an hour afterwards. I think she was very tired. We met up with everyone then headed back for Janelle's place where Jer and Ada crashed...
it was really cute. Then we went and browsed through a toy store and went to the Bluebird for dinner. We then drove over to Nibley to visit a mission friend that I haven't seen in over a year. It was fun to catch up and see how she's adjusting to living in the States. Then we headed home... got there about 11:30pm... 4am-11:30pm... it was a full day.
This was really cute to see Amy's family all in red and running the last little bit with her... Yay for families!
