Race for the Birds!

We got to run a couple of races this weekend at the National Conservation Training Center on their beautiful trails!  How fun!  Jonah ran a 1 mile kids race (with John) and I did a 7.7 mile trail run.

 Mae even ran!  J/K.  Jonah didn't want to wear his race bib so we put it on Mae:)

 Jonah stretching his arms. . . by folding them and clapping. . . both proven methods of stretching.

 Ready to start.

 And they're off!  Jonah loves his friend Naomi!  She's super fast and he wants to be like her when he grows up.

 Here's how he looked at the finish.  Free ride by John!

 Finishing with Daddy!

 His prize was chocolate milk!

 "Almost Heaven, West Virginia Chocolate Milk" 

 My support team.  John was awesome to let me do this race, he even missed a Scout campout to watch the kids.

 It was soooo pretty and the hills really gave me a workout!

I finally pulled out my camera when we were all trying to watch conference.

 What good kids we have!  Jonah folded his arms during the long prayers and kept saying "Prophet" and was really paying attention for a few minutes.  He really likes TV so I'm sure that's what helped!

 Jonah loves Mae lately!  I love when I walk in the room and he's giving her a big hug, and I'm glad she's chubby now so I don't have to protect her so much. . . well Jonah is getting really gentle with her, too.

We are loving shorts season!
