The Fun Run

April 19, 2008 was an awesome day!! My little sister, Tess, and I ran our first, but definately not last, half-marathon! It was seriously so much fun! We started in the early morning, and it snowed for about the first 5 miles. I should explain that it wasn't an actual race. There was an actual half-marathon going on that day, but we decided we just wanted to do our own. So I made a 13.1 mile route around Molalla and that's what we ran!


My nephew was also being baptized later that day. So there was a lot of family in town that decided to meet us at the finish line. Kenny took the day off work so he could meet up with us at different mile markers and give us water/video tape us.


We ended at a park near the apartments we live in, and to our surprise Kenny and Ryan (Tess' husband) were blasting the Rocky music from the car. And the little kids you see chasing after us are our nieces and nephews.


Our sister, Krystal, made this awesome video for us! If you have about 2 minutes and want to laugh, watch it! Make sure your volume is turned up. It's funnier that way! Enjoy! Thanks Tess! That will always be one of my favorite memories!

Ludwig Family Reunion!

Warning:

You are about to view many, many family pictures!

Over Easter weekend we had our first family reunion with the Ludwig side. My in-laws rented a house near Salt Lake City, and we all stayed under one roof playing games and laughing a lot! It was a lot of fun! I was nervous to take Myles on the plane and for him to get out of our little routine we have at home, but he did amazing! He laughed during take-off both times, and didn't get too fussy from lack of sleep. He's such a great baby!

Here's some of our favorite pictures from the weekend!

Here we are near the end of the plane ride to Salt Lake. Myles fell asleep.

Toys Taste Good

Okay, so Myles can hold some of his toys now. I just wanted to put down what I imagined his thought pattern to be.

This is awesome! I can hold my toy.

I really want to put it in my mouth. I think I will. Just a little taste

Wait, I really want to put my fist in my mouth. I can't decide.





I WANT THE TOY!! Sweet satisfaction.

Thank you Daddy for putting this toy in my hands.
