Happy Father's Day!

Today is Father's Day and the kids were all very excited!

Everyone cut out pictures and colored pictures for Dad.

Oakley taught Dad how to build a custom team on Madden Football.

They each got to give Dad a gift...

They chose to make ribs for dinner...Holt LOVED them!

There was actually a time when he had two ribs in his mouth at the same time! The camera took too long to fire...it was priceless.

Quantico Marine Corp "Run Amuck"

On Saturday, we went to Quantico Marine Base and ran a race called the "Run Amuck." It's a 4.1 mile race through the trees, along a mud-filled trail with obstacles like hay bales, tires, barbed-wire, culverts and mud pits. The hills along this trail are HUGE!

There were 1094 people that ran the race, Jeremiah came in 285th and had a time of 46:09.

Oakley and Ainsley were able to run in the Kid's Fun Run, which was a 1/4 mile obstacle course. They ran in groups of 4. Oakley came in second and Ainsley came in 3rd!

We had to get up @ 5am to get there by 7:30. The kids all did great and had a great time.

While Dad was running, Mom took the kids and got USO tattoo's, doughnuts with red, white and blue frosting and stretched and warmed up for their race.

Everyone is already planning on going to the race next year. Oakley will be able to run in the adults race and Ainsley and Tye will be able to run the Kid's run. Oakley thinks he'll beat his Dad....we'll have to wait and see....

Baseball Game

We made another trip to Baltimore this year to watch the Atlanta Braves beat the Orioles 7-2 in 9 innings.

The highlight of the night was the cotton candy and the ice cream DiBs!

We ate all the ballpark junk food we could and made it home by 1am!
