Another Marathon!!!

Clay and some of our neighbors ran the Ogden Marathon in May. This was his 9th marathon!! All the guys drove up on Friday night and stayed at a hotel so they wouldn't miss out on precious sleep to drive up on Saturday morning. I'm sure they all enjoyed a child free evening in preparation for their race!

Since the race was going to be in Gaga's neck of the woods, we decided it would be a perfect time for a sleepover! It was just going to be Addie but when Gaga came to get her, she asked if any of the cousins were coming and so Gaga called them up and Colton and Cooper decided to join them! They had fun riding bikes and being silly together! Gaga even took them to McDonald's!


On Saturday morning, we (me, Will and a few of the neighbors) headed up to Ogden to meet up with Gaga and the kids and to cheer the guys on at the finish. We got there earlier than anticipated, the race started a little late and they weren't running quite as fast as we expected so it was a bit of a wait for the kids. Luckily, there were plenty of friends, treats and people to watch to keep them from getting too bored! At one point, Cooper commented that they weren't running very fast if it was a race!






We finally were able to see Clay just before he ran past us! He changed hats on me (I usually find out what he's wearing the night before so I can find him easier) so we almost missed him but we are so glad we didn't!





Good job babe! We are so proud of you for accomplishing your goal!
