Thanks Brian and Jaimee!

Okay, so as usual I am really slow at posting these pictures!
But here goes anyway...
The story behind these is that training for this half-marathon can be a bit challenging sometimes! For instance, one day last week we were supposed to run 7 miles and I was trying to figure out how and when to do that. Well, Brian and Jaimee came to my rescue! We came up with a plan and it ended up that Gavin and I went to stay at their house the night before so that Jaimee and I could get up at the butt crack of dawn (pardon the expression, but mornings and I do not get along!) to go run our 7 miles while the boys were still asleep and Brian was home to listen for them. It is really nice when I am able to get up early and get the training done for the day and this was even better because I had Jaimee there with me to encourage me! Jaimee, you're awesome. I am so glad we are doing this together.
Later in the day I was able to watch Spencer so that Jaimee could run a few errands. It was fun to play with Gavin and Spencer and see how they are so alike and yet so different in so many ways! (Just like their dads...hmmm!)
Here's a cute picture of the boys playing with the Baby Einstein! It was so cute because as Gavin was playing inside Spencer would pull it around in circles. They were both thorougly entertained!
I love this picture because if you look at Spencer's face and then look back at Gavin's they are both doing this weird thing with their lips!
Also, Brian and Jaimee had two huge bean bags in their basement and they decided to get rid of one and give it to us! It is so great! We used to have a big old bean bag in our home theater room (actually it was Chuck and Ginger's that we were storing for them) but when they moved they stole it back! We have missed it and there was a big empty space in the middle of the floor. We are pretty darn excited to have another one!
Well Gavin and I had a wonderful time hanging out at their house. (I mean, who wouldn't?!) Thanks guys! Thanks for everything! We love ya!
Here's Brent and Gavin breaking in the new bean bag while watching the Jazz game on the big screen!

I'm very impressed Randi! 7 Miles... geez, I can't imagine the dedication it takes. My goal in life is to one day run a 3K...no marathons for me! I'll experience them through your blog :)

Actually I was the stealer of the bean bag, not Chuck and Ginger! Ha ha ha!
