The Ragnar

I know it is late but I am still proud and I had to document. Zach ran the Wasatch Back/Ragnar Relay a couple weeks ago. His team came in an hour and a half ahead of schedule and had a great time. Zach was the first runner so we ventured to Logan to see him start the race. We stayed at our ACCOMMODATING & OH SO GENEROUS friends house in Nibley cause the race started in Logan at 7:20. There would have been NO WAY I could have done it with the kids if it weren't for Matt and Robyn letting us stay at their house! Thank you so much guys! Oh and get this, they had only been in there home for one week and they let us stay! Aren't they nice? (it definitely did not look like you just moved in, it is so cute!)
Zach's total mileage was like 18.4 miles or something. He did great! His hardest run was out old snow basin road and down trappers loop at 4 in the afternoon! It was so hot!
Here are some pics for ya.
I can't get over what a good sport Josh is! He was so good to put up with all the chaos of following Zach. He has turned into such a chill and happy baby!
This is the only picture I have of Julie. Zach has a very supportive family. They came to watch Zach run down trappers with us. They are such a big help and the kids love doing anything with them!

This is Zach and Sarah at the starting line. She was a little confused with the whole thing. She wasn't sure why he was running away when we passed him in the van she didn't understand why he didn't get in. It was kinda funny.
Me and my girl. Ya know she is a handful but she sure is a lot of fun!

I just thought this was funny that Sarah was trying to pee like Ben. She kept saying "pee too".

Whenever Zach has done a race, Ben has always run with him, he looks forward to it and loves it! He is so proud of his dad!
Steven will hold Josh all day, he loves the kid!
Grammy and Sarah waiting for Zach to run by.
And there he goes!

This was after his first leg. The kids already missed him and he'd only been gone an hour. :)
Hot, sweaty and happy!
Josh is in the stroller behind us, it was freezing!

Let me just say, I was lucky to get this shot. He came up way to fast for lil' ol' me! Way to go Zach! Sure love ya Babe.
