Marathoners!

Ryder was trying out his new sweatshirt before we left for Brody's Marathon!

The two runners in our family!  What a great weekend seeing them both achieve what they set out for!

It was a rainy day for Brody's Marathon completion on Saturday.  Addisen and Ryder were troopers through it!  Ryder couldn't be seen because he was under the poncho in the stroller!

Brody was going to run the 1.2 miles himself, but then with the rain and all of the people he decided to have dad come along!

Go Brody!

We are so proud of him!  I know Jim took a lot of pride in having his son want to run in his footsteps!  Brody was very proud of himself too!

On Sunday we were off to watch Jim run in his 3rd Grand Rapids Marathon.  It was a cold morning but we wouldn't miss it for anything!  Grandma and Bobo joined me to help manage the kids and all of the stops!  Bobo is becoming a pro at driving us around!

High Fives!

The two best cheerleaders on the course!

Run Daddy Run!

 

It was a race to the finish line for us spectators!  We took a wrong turn and ended up getting there with only about 2 minutes to spare.  Jim called (yes he is crazy...he uses his bluetooth headset to call me while he runs!) to tell me that Brody could run to the finish line with him.

Brody was scared to try to run fast enough but I'm glad he decided to try!  This will be a picture they will cherish for a long time!

We all made it!

Daddy and his biggest fans!
