Briggs' Award for finishing the 1/2 Marathon

I wanted to post the picture of the medal that Briggs received after finishing the PF Changs Rock 'N' Roll Marathon. It's big and heavy so I'm glad they awarded him this after the run!!

Marathon Man !!

Briggs has been in Arizona over the weekend and he got to attend a Barrett-Jackson Auto Show with his Uncle Kyle, Aunt Georgy and cousin Stephen!! What a blast that was. Then he also got to be at his nephew Jack's first birthday party. If your thinking that was enough... well, Briggs in his usual self decides to run in a half marathon with his dad's cousin Jim the night before the marathon. He and Alex went and got some new running shoes for the big day and so not only did Briggs have to wear brand new shoes, but he ran the 12 miles without ever training for the race.
"What a Marathon Man" he is!!!!
Now I have to be a "marathon mom" and get his laundry done before school on Monday!!

Pictures From Arizona

Dawn and Ryan just got back from Arizona and getting to visit my Grandkids... I'm so jealous!! They had a great time and all I get are these pictures!!! Just Kidding!! :-) Briggs gets to go this week... OK... next time is my turn!! --I gotta share, I know!

Ryan having a Jack Attack!!

Ryan and Dawn are out in Arizona right now attending the marriage of a good friend of Ryans. While there he is getting the oppertunity to visit with Alex and getting to play with Jack!! It was shocking to see how big Jack is getting... shouldn't he still be just a baby having to be held in arms??? Do they really grow up that fast??!! Jack will be 1 year old in just a couple days!! Ok.. I have to admit, I'm jealous of Ryan and Briggs as both of them get to go to Arizona this month and see Alex and family. And I have to stay here in good ol' snowy Nebraska!! When the weather turns nice, I plan to go out and spend some time with my little G-kids!!!! I love 'em!!
