Yep, that's Danny Gokey from American Idol.

Trying a hog pile...didn't work so well.

Boys...

We hired a clown to entertain the older kids...I think it worked.

Yes, I'll take more cake please.

I think the clown inspired his hairstyle!

Riding his new 4 wheeler from Grandma and Grandpa Griepentrog

The day I ran 26.2 miles

This was one of the most amazing and difficult things I have ever done. After 4 1/2 months of training and 3 pairs of shoes I completed the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon in 4 hours and 48 minutes (my goal was under 5 hours). Believe it or not, I crossed the finish line and said immediately I would do it again...hopefully my husband will join me next time.

Our Afternoon at Lake Elmo Preserve

"No dad, I did not enjoy that slide"

I think he runs like his dad!

Playing outside

Say "CHEESE"


I purposely left out the picture immediately after where Parker tackled Ashton...I prefer to remember them as huggers.

"Parker, you are hilarious"

There always has to be a butt shot!
