Jog-A-Thon and more

On Friday Thadd's school did a jog-a-thon for a fundraiser. He has been talking about it for a week, ever since he found out they were doing it. The sent home the map of what they were having the kids run. They ran through the neighborhood in front of the school and asked parents to line the way and cheer them on. I told Thadd to look for us because we would be there cheering him on. We got to the park and had to wait awhile. You can see the school from the park and then you hear all the kids yelling, "Jog-A-Thon! Jog-A-Thon!" Finally they started down the road. Nate commented on how loud they all sounded running down the road.See if you can see Thadd. I didn't even know I got him in the picture til we were looking at them on the computer afterwards. I'll give you a hint, he has orange shoes on.

We were looking for Thadd and I wanted to get some pictures of all the kids running down the road. We looked and looked for Thadd. When all the kids had run by we hadn't found him. We walked across the park to where they were going to come back around. I walked to another street thinking they would come down there when I looked over to where Nate and Norma was and there was Thadd! I'm yelling at Nate and pointing but neither of them heard me or saw me. By then we saw that they were Not coming back by the park and we walked over to the school to see if we could catch him. We got to the back of the school just as Eric got there panting and saying, "I made it." We finally found Thadd in the back of the school and got him to come stand by the finish sign for pictures with Eric.
Nate had a field trip for school in the afternoon where they were going up rock canyon and he took Norma with him. It was so super quiet in the house. I was reading and didn't even notice that it was time to go get the boys from school! I had to put shoes on me, get Kate up from a very nice nap and get her in her carseat and race down to the school to get Thadd, 15 minutes late! We got to pick up Tucker before the bus came so it was okay. Thadd wasn't too happy about having to wait but he lived.

Here are just a few pictures that were on the camera that I took of Kate. She is just so cute!And she sure loves her brothers!
