What do these have in common?

What do apples and wedding bells, halfies, and the hamburgler have in common?

Yay for getting to hang out with Jo & Zach Koops!
Jo is my gorgeous inside and out half-Indy friend from the 'burg. It was a delight to catch up since the last time I saw here I was in college and neither of us were married!

So, I'm curious of how much B & Zach have in common just marrying into Indian culture? :)

Dr. Francey Pants giving the awkward/funny toast! Don't worry, I saw "awkward" because he knowingly planned it that way! He had the crowd rolling!
Dr. Franceypants we always laugh so much with you!

Yeehaw!! (Is that the hamburgler, you ask?
Why yes. Yes. I think it is. He wasn't on the wedding roster.)

Congrats Jenni & John! So excited for you two!

Splash Valley!

Here are some pix from our trip with our friends to Splash Valley, a.k.a. Chase's favorite place in the world!

Can you tell who is related? Or did you not know I had a third kid? Ha!Ha! Doesn't Jaden just fit right in with our family? In fact, I think here he might look more like Sophie b/c of the curly hair than Chase! Just in case you are still confused it's : Chase, Sophie, Jaden.

Sophie decided to lay down on the towel with the big girls since we were sunbathing.

Still has those cheekies, going on 2.

This is me around Sophie's age. Same curly up-do. Same squinty smile. Can't you tell I'm just a spunky little squirt by this photo?

You did a whole marathon?

Well, no! Not all by myself.

WE completed a full marathon. Together. As a team. The "Sole Sistas."
Our shirts said "See mom. See mom run. See mom keep running." I even had a lady cheer "GO MOM GO" as I passed her!
I'd like to think I look bow-legged b/c I'm kicking it into high gear after 5+ miles up Mill mountain! Or perhaps my legs really are shaped like that and no one ever mentioned it.

Cristen waiting for me to cross. (Thanks Erica for taking!) Don't you love how each teammate looks like they standing in a rainbow. I don't think they planned it, however tu-tu girl was planned. Mad props to running up Roanoke Mtn Loop with a tu-tu. Still proud of Cristen for running the hardest leg (LEG #2). It mighta been short, but it was killer!

Cristen smiling with me once I finished LEG #1 and she finished LEG #2!

Here goes Erica for LEG #3. ( I felt blessed that I got to have my teammates cheer me on at the start, then as I finished, then I got to see Cristen and Erica and also Brooke finish. I got to see 4 out of 5 teammates race! And even got to see hubby. And his answer to your question is: YES. He did the FULL (all by himself... and 300 other full marathoners.)

I wanted to run along side him for a photo. I know. I'm a dork.

Here we are waiting for Brooke to bring it home (LEG 5)!

GO SOLE SISTA! Drum roll please!

Here we are holding up what leg we ran! I love this photo! Thanks Sole Sistas for inspiring me to run up Mill Mtn in 46 min 22 sec. Not bad for 5.4mi at 30 yrs old! Ehmm I mean 30 yrs young with 75yr old knees.

Fun with G-ma Whited

Chase and his crazy faces
whoa.

Notice Zoe attacking Grandma!

I think Sophia resembles Grandma a lot here

Sometimes Chase takes a little time to warm up...

... I usually have to kiss and tickle it out of him.
