Jaxson Ryder Thomas

Jaxson is here!  My little brother's son was born yesterday.  After 28+ hours of labor, getting stuck a few times, and an emergency c-section, little baby Jax made his way into the world.  In true SoCal style, he keeps finding places to kick his feet up and relax.  And thanks to the long, complicated labor, he gets to take his first helicopter ride to the Children's Hospital in San Diego so they can monitor his heart and stress levels.  Say a little prayer for Jax that everything will be ok and for Christina since they will be separated until tomorrow when she can leave the hospital.

Utah Valley Half Marathon

I finished! My goal was to just finish, and I came in at 1:52.  I never thought I could do it under 2 hours. Heidi, Evan's sister, ran it with me.  It was surprisingly fun (I know, who knew running a half marathon would be fun).  I am glad that I did it and I was able to finish.  Around mile 10 I felt like I was going to die, but by the time I could see the finish line I had so much energy and I just wanted to be done.  It was really pretty running down the canyon and the weather was perfect.  Thanks Heidi for coming all the way from Idaho to run with me.
