Run for Feuille weekend!!

We had such a wonderful weekend in Phoenix this weekend!! It was SO nice and warm and we even had a day with warm rain, with the wonderful creosote smell (the bestest smell in the whole world!)
Anyway we got to visit one of my best friends from college Sara and Eric Channing and their two precious offspring Will and Claire! That was so fun and such wonderful fellowship with a precious family!

The reason for the weekend was to run a half marathon in support for Robert Fueille and his family! Another friend from college Robert was diagnosed with testicular cancer and has been fighting the cancer battle!! His sweet wife Aimee and their three children and fighting along side him and SO many people are praying for his COMPLETE healing!! A group of us got together to run this race and raise money to help his family financially! If you are able and willing to help them in anyway here is the link to his website. Please pray with us and also be INSPIRED by his amazing fight!! Fight for Feuille!!

Here are a couple pics from the race! And I was pretty happy with a time of 1:28 for my first half marathon!! Even though my chip apparently didn't work... that was my watch time. Cody and Abs cheered along the route and it got me all pumped to try to break 3 hrs in the marathon this summer!




We also got to take Abs to the ZOO! And everyone that knows Abs knows that she LOVES LOVES LOVES animals, so the Zoo was pretty much heaven for her..... Abs and Will checked out all the animals and worked on their animal sounds. While Claire took a sweet little nap=0) by the way Claire is the best most precious baby in the whole world, she was such a sweet happy content little thing (while Abs was trying to grab and kiss her and Will all weekend...)

Precious baby Claire!!

Abs' 1st carousel ride! As you can see she was very intent and focused...

So we are back is snowy C-town where it has been snowing since we got back! Cody didn't get the Durango job, so we are waiting once again and trusting that God has us where He wants us (sometimes easier said then truely felt and believed) Even though I am looking forward to the warm summer, warm weather, a change in scenery for now I will enjoy a warm bowl of veggie soup tonight with my precious little family and watch the snow come down!!
