5K

Hands down one of the coolest things I have been apart of. A little back story. After Mark finished his marathon in September last year he made a comment of how he hates running just to run he wanted a purpose Mark's wheels were a turning. We kept thinking of Tyson this sweet little boy in our neighborhood and we couldn't get him out of our mind. We decided that we would set up a few events over the year to help raise money for him to continue his therapy at Now I Can. Once we found out how expensive it was and that his grant money had run out that was all we needed to make things happen. We have truly been touched and over whelmed by everyone's generosity. After we finished his 5K on the 11th of this month we had multiple people ask us to do another one....so we are planning another one, here is hoping it is as much of a success as this past one.
Me and Tyson after he walked (something he couldn't do at the start of the year) the last 10 feet or so to the finish line. You can watch him walk to the end if you go to www.youtube.com and type in Tyson Juber it should be the first video that pops up.

Mark being Mark

It was rare and we had to catch it on tape. Do you see that impressive sunburn line on Mark's neck?!?! Okay it isn't so much the sunburn line (which is rare) as it was Paxton was cuddling! He is sweet and happy and dang cute, but a cuddler he isn't so when it happens you can't help but feel a little bit loved.

Michael's Graduation

We went to the Brick Oven for Michael's graduation dinner, and they had this guy that came around and did seriously the coolest balloon characters. It was so crazy to watch him work. He made Marin Rapunzel she was in LOVE with it. It is still in the house Rapunzel hasn't "aged" beautifully but hey Marin will love her until I throw her away.

Michael and Marin. It was late when they started so it was past both kids bedtimes by the time we got out Paxton is passed out in Mark's arms, and Marin was just excited that it was over!

Our little family and Michael. Notice Creeper Daniel in the back? Daniel is pretty funny like that.

Oh our family picture. We were missing Steven that is for sure, but it was everyone Utah state side.

Marie's Graduation

Marie graduate from the University of Utah in....May? I'm pretty sure it was May. Here are the kiddos heading out to go get Mark from work to head over to Marie's graduation.
Marin hanging out in the car waiting for Mark.

Paxton hanging out at the graduation, being good. Man alive I am lucky to have such well behaved kids, I think that regularly.

Mark with his sisters, Frieda, Marie, and Rachel at Marie's graduation.

Marie with her diploma! Congrats Marie we are so proud of you!!

There is no order here!

Well here are a few pictures and the events they belong to, they are in no order just pictures. This is my insanly cute boy! He makes me laugh he is so happy and so chill. Mark has his camping stuff in the background because he was on his way out to go on a scout camp.

This is the only picture of Paxton or Marin at Marin's party and there are reasons why but it irrates me so I'm not going into it. Marin had a carnival themed party and of course it rained the day of her birthday and it was dang cute, so off to the church we went. Steven painted faces and made Paxton an Avatar baby. You can tell he is really thrilled by it.

I painted Marin's fingers and toes today and she wanted to return the favor, granted my toes needed to be repainted so I said sure. She was so careful and I promised her I would leave them...those of you who I will see tomorrow will get to see these babies first hand.

We had a very eventful day on Saturday the 11th we were at a pool party at Mark's parents place and we were heading out to go to Kim's wedding reception and Marin wanted her Aunt Frieda to do her hair.Marin, Valerie, and Aurora playing ring around the rosey after hanging out in the kiddie pool. They sure had fun together.

Missing one girl cousin she is off in Washington but here is Valerie, Aurora, and Marin. The pool was FREEZING! I was amazed by Aurora she would just dive in didn't phase her a bit. The other 2 girls were a bit more timid.

When we went fishing Marin saw Mark walking back with a fishing pole over his shoulder so she did that with hers and grabbed a stick so she was even.

Mark and Marin fishing. She loves doing things with Mark that is for sure.

Steven upped and moved to California and we miss him terriably. Marin gets up and asks if we can call Steven on the computer, she loves getting to talk to him. Here she is on skype with him having a really deep conversation I'm sure! : ) I think it is a requirement to have a spaghetti picture. So here is Paxton's. He loves noodles, doesn't matter what is on them he is always in the mood for them.
