Melanie Ran the P.F Chang's Rock & Roll Half Marathon

After a lot of training and waiting, the day of the half marathon finally arrived! It was really really hard but it was nice to have Melanie's brother Jarrod run it with her. Competitor.com is supposed to post more pictures of the actual race later this week so we will post those as soon as we get them!

Merry Christmas!!

This Christmas was kind of hectic because Josh's schedule was off, but we still were able to see both our families and have a lot of fun!

Melanie's brother, sister in-law and nephew came down for Thanksgiving. Here is a picture of Melanie, her 2 brothers and mom at this cool park we found in Scottsdale.
Some of the things Melanie made for Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you very much!

Halloween!!

Halloween is Melanie's most favorite holiday. Even though she was a little under the weather most of the weekend we still found time to carve our pumpkin. This year our Jack O' Lantern read "Don't Act Like UR Not Impressed". It was awesome.....

Families Supporting Adoption Conference

Here we are at the Families Supporting Adoption Conference. It was such an amazing experience. We had the opportunity to listen to stories from the birth mother's point of view. We were so blessed to hear heroic stories told by the women we love and admire. We hope to go to another one soon!

You know Jade, it's very hard for Josh to drive the boat when you insist on jumping on his lap...

LOVE this picture of Josh slalom skiing....
This was the first time Melanie had ever fished on a lake...very strange....
Aren't kids cute when they are napping? (Our niece had a death grip on those goldfish)
