Bob-a-La

If you asked Colton who is best friends are (and if he could actually speak), he would probably tell you Bob a La.  That's Bob and Larry.  You know.  From Veggietales.  Colton loves them...and now he loves that he can hug them and squeeze them and take them for walks in his baby doll stroller.  Thanks Grandma Louise!

Hello?

I'm sure that someday Colton will realize that my alarm clock is not actually a phone, but until then he's been having some really great conversations...

Justin ran his first marathon six years ago--and missed qualifying for Boston by a mere 46 seconds.  So every few years, he decides to ramp up from nothing and try it again.  This year we arranged our annual visit to Utah with his third and most recent marathon attempt.  And I must say that he did amazingly well, finishing in 3 hours 21 minutes.  He was a little disappointed that he missed his goal again, but this time he's not going to wait three years before he tries again...  Here's his strong finish:

Colton was yelling "Go Daddy Go!"  We worked on it all morning.

A few yards from the finish...

He said he was about to pass out, so I offered him some chocolate milk.

Colton was enjoying the chocolate Creamy that was provided for the runners.  Thanks for sharing, Dad.

On the way back to the car, Justin stopped to stretch his calves.  Colton couldn't figure out why Dad was trying to push the tree, but he decided to help.

Really, Dad.  Why are we pushing this tree?
