Grandpa with the youngest two grandchildren... Ashley's little boy Kevin on the right and Tiersa's girl Ella on the left.
We had a birthday party for Arlene's friend Kerstin during the Priesthood session on Saturday night. We made her wear a crown and ate pizza. We really had fun and made sure Kerstin knew we were happy for her on her special day.
Tiersa, Arlene and Carolyn ran the Marathon on Saturday and we bought silly string to spray all over them at the end of the race. There was still some left so we played with it a little once all the guys got home from Priesthood, Vaughn got up in Ashley's face to tell her she was making a mess so she squirted him right in the face and continued to do so until it was pretty much gone. The results were pretty much priceless as no one usually "picks" on Dad. He got her back by pinching her arm which she hates, but she says "It was worth it".
The Marathoners. Carolyn ran it in 4 hours and 58 minutes, Arlene ran 6 hours and 8 minutes, and Tiersa's time was 4 hours 21 minutes. These three weren't able to run last year because of injuries/pregnancy and we thought that Arlene wasn't going to be able to run this year because of an injury, but she did it any way. We are so proud of them.
Tiersa's been hobbling around the house all day with her sore marathon bones, muscles, jointsm and everything else. I'm sure it is hard to have two kids and all those sore parts.
Here's Collette's belly bump. We think it's pretty cool that she's a surrogate Mother for her friend Michelle. It's going really well even though it is starting to get hard with her four little munshkins running around. She is having a girl and is due on Feb. 1st.
The girls had a tea party outside and invited Grandma to come out and picnic with them. They look pretty comfy. Arlene is such a trooper for sitting on the hard ground with them even with her soreness.
All the kids went on the deck to get out while we made Sunday night dinner.
