We then talked my dad, sister, brother, and cousin into doing the full marathon. My running friend Amanda ran the half marathon. Becca ended up moving to Australia a couple of months ago so she wasn't able to run with us. We missed running with her!!! <div><br /></div><div>One of our family friends Michelle made us a race basket with all kinds of goodies to help with pre and post race. It was packed with all kinds of yummy goodies and foot cream and stuff to decorate our car with. She had run the Nashville marathon 5 years ago with her family.</div><div><br /></div><div>My aunt Mardi, and cousin Mikan came out with Caitlyn to cheer us on. Brianna came with us too. They were the best cheerleaders. It was so fun seeing them along the race.</div><div><br /></div><div>We drove to Nashville on Friday and then we went to the Expo and had lots of fun picking up our race packets and lots of freebies. My aunt Mardi, cousin Caitlyn, and I won free t-shirts. Em and I got some matching headbands that say, "Bad Ass Mother Runner." We then had a pre-race dinner at Jason's deli just down the straight from our hotel. </div><div><br /></div><div>Race morning we headed down the street from our hotel to the starting line. There were thousands of people. The newspaper said 27,000 ran that day. 5,000 in the full marathon and 22,000 in the half. Of those 5,000 only 4,000 finished the race. It was a beautiful, sunny 80 degree day which is not good running weather when you aren't used to heat yet. We all finished the race with my dad coming in first of the group, then my sister, then my cousin, then brother, then me. The craziest part for me was around mile 12 when a man just passed out and fell to the ground. At that point, I just wanted to focus on finishing the race and not getting sick or passing out.</div><div><br /></div><div>After the race, we went to a fun restaurant with Becca's brother Mike and his wife Regina. Then we went to the Montgomery Gentry concert for the race participants. After the concert, we enjoyed some frozen yogurt and then headed to bed.</div><div><br /></div><div>We all had such a fun time running the marathon we are trying to decide which one to do next. I am thinking the Kansas City marathon so I don't have to travel during hockey and football season for the boys.</div></div>Maddox Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345125334725237953noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165827162754936117.post-68270877053141359802011-05-05T09:47:00.003-05:002011-05-05T10:00:09.580-05:00Easter Weekend<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_RcATPnwdcBXdP2MQFTB_lbDlNh88AsIx-CsAfbpu6Fd4Zxee-1qejjfkihkZRM8MRsl_9I16vdURRviy5ExNttVs5yDRueMFDmWkErs6j7AhFslZ1Myr5SSnrcneUlkV78hTzN3sgvvJ/s1600/IMG_8806.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_RcATPnwdcBXdP2MQFTB_lbDlNh88AsIx-CsAfbpu6Fd4Zxee-1qejjfkihkZRM8MRsl_9I16vdURRviy5ExNttVs5yDRueMFDmWkErs6j7AhFslZ1Myr5SSnrcneUlkV78hTzN3sgvvJ/s320/IMG_8806.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603246960819943298" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizMaX81u7VJfCvSvZR62Uweyx-HVRe69Bt-zTi3t4tFKuHAIs6PVTIXJ7fWzTvzsKm3T0pZvVxkJGMd4SvkAmmNA9WiEBkoKm_GLE_PzeitNjyS_qhIwnThgG_1-m_GtTAnMHxuHDrIp1z/s1600/IMG_8745.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizMaX81u7VJfCvSvZR62Uweyx-HVRe69Bt-zTi3t4tFKuHAIs6PVTIXJ7fWzTvzsKm3T0pZvVxkJGMd4SvkAmmNA9WiEBkoKm_GLE_PzeitNjyS_qhIwnThgG_1-m_GtTAnMHxuHDrIp1z/s320/IMG_8745.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603246749617698786" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeNsw6lICWQDCWEhB5XNeaoGkir-1Tpjn53XXq3CbJd9pktxD6HcDjvPOYwPre3aIUNoS0zlI9__F0ZSyLkn3T0Uampjj3uoP0jfkDTErPsvt1_dN6RiARzhrBo1o9T7KUxVuPqmMV1ENJ/s1600/IMG_8735.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeNsw6lICWQDCWEhB5XNeaoGkir-1Tpjn53XXq3CbJd9pktxD6HcDjvPOYwPre3aIUNoS0zlI9__F0ZSyLkn3T0Uampjj3uoP0jfkDTErPsvt1_dN6RiARzhrBo1o9T7KUxVuPqmMV1ENJ/s320/IMG_8735.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603246741787547042" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0mCdjOGMwYnKXzc7BqIeS5lN5r0lxhzV8mdKjGP30pN4T3aUELcuQcCtumw5AMrvzMdQb7kqDYiw9JeDemfGhUJ1yphI8l06Fc_t5_hOrX9fFAhN7Epk87HFsvnSZgkW3WiF1QyNHDhAV/s1600/IMG_8732.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0mCdjOGMwYnKXzc7BqIeS5lN5r0lxhzV8mdKjGP30pN4T3aUELcuQcCtumw5AMrvzMdQb7kqDYiw9JeDemfGhUJ1yphI8l06Fc_t5_hOrX9fFAhN7Epk87HFsvnSZgkW3WiF1QyNHDhAV/s320/IMG_8732.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603246739157597314" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjneC9dIK4PmOlOV99dPmDXfuj9L9DQ6fkgCtgL1rAzRsYh6itJh_UFqgGAbj1bvd4UR-zn-uE7H5uih16r3EWopQUN5bS1l0-UW6H0ZZvlJ_dUiggq0W4HIlCL4UkhHloG6Pt8h9CQsIia/s1600/IMG_8705.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjneC9dIK4PmOlOV99dPmDXfuj9L9DQ6fkgCtgL1rAzRsYh6itJh_UFqgGAbj1bvd4UR-zn-uE7H5uih16r3EWopQUN5bS1l0-UW6H0ZZvlJ_dUiggq0W4HIlCL4UkhHloG6Pt8h9CQsIia/s320/IMG_8705.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603246727554346018" /></a><br />Scott's brother Craig was married to Marianne in St. Louis over Easter weekend. We had a fun time hanging out with lots of family. Scott and Nile enjoyed golfing with all the brothers the day before the wedding. We had a yummy Italian dinner the night before the wedding. After the wedding reception while we were helping clean up, the tornado sirens started going off, then the electricity went off at the church. We waited until the warning went off and then headed back to my mom's house. 270 was shut down due to down power lines. Then we learned the St. Louis airport had been hit. We drove by we were only about 10 minutes from the airport. It was crazy seeing all the destruction.<div><br /></div><div>Saturday, I went on my long run with my brother Jason. Then we went to Scott's parents for an Easter egg hunt and dying eggs. Then we went to the Cardinals baseball game which was tons of fun and enjoyed some ted drews ice cream after. </div>Maddox Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345125334725237953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165827162754936117.post-89687912033653625562011-03-02T08:30:00.003-06:002011-03-02T08:37:36.968-06:00Becca's Wedding<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGupn9bgheqh67I-T7FUZCXKNuJoAE6cmwN8OISOgf3ItLBseE0EgHuYufTeShORliM5UQ0gCJNwhb6KgANUMM7gYI2WoGsTiDoYa9PleLA-WeSfPjen6n1Su9jtaG1KilX7d8OTzqE4kz/s1600/IMG_8615.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGupn9bgheqh67I-T7FUZCXKNuJoAE6cmwN8OISOgf3ItLBseE0EgHuYufTeShORliM5UQ0gCJNwhb6KgANUMM7gYI2WoGsTiDoYa9PleLA-WeSfPjen6n1Su9jtaG1KilX7d8OTzqE4kz/s320/IMG_8615.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579490074273300802" /></a>Book Club Ladies with Becca<div><br /><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHhjzfDzrCjka3rRrSMzN0CbEI-zbBC3qY8v21jE2gl1F_HUuvxBGCy7oeykVvjmXErodtd_W6SNKuVH9NqTAXBwLbDoiYRJ9V9_dbQpWM08seY8bFtves-tc7DDkWIHjnm2d2TG_G5kw6/s1600/IMG_8616.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHhjzfDzrCjka3rRrSMzN0CbEI-zbBC3qY8v21jE2gl1F_HUuvxBGCy7oeykVvjmXErodtd_W6SNKuVH9NqTAXBwLbDoiYRJ9V9_dbQpWM08seY8bFtves-tc7DDkWIHjnm2d2TG_G5kw6/s320/IMG_8616.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579490072281057330" /></a>Rob and Becca</div></div><div><br /></div><div>So one of my best friends Becca got married a couple of weeks ago. She married a great guy. Becca is my running friend who talked me until running the Kansas City Marathon. She is the reason I have become addicted to running long distances. She also talked me into the Nashville Marathon which is April 30. I have been training for that this winter. My dad, sister, brother, cousin, and friend Jen are going to run the full marathon and a couple of my other running friends are going to run the half. I am sad though because she is going to move to Australia with her new husband in a month. I will miss her but I am sure she will have lots of adventures in Australia. I might even have to go visit her.</div><div><br /></div><div>Her wedding weekend was fun because some of our book club friends that have moved away came back for the wedding. It was to see Amanda and Jenny and all hang out together. </div>Maddox Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345125334725237953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165827162754936117.post-51631879838219039472011-01-18T13:35:00.005-06:002011-01-18T13:50:47.349-06:00Look Who's Eight!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Lx7vuELrlx9BbXG1-5XXRuFEdvJjvxx6y7MRLNE42rPOdCn-8BAjxUVNzmYhZByY0zmDNooLTCGRnpEEb3aZHj4RWhHu3EBH96xlLi1mWY51tUiYsIWWk8rqcfWVR2UPWISy19aF6VNJ/s1600/claire%2527sbaptismdrawing.jpg"><img style="display:block;

We decided to go to St. Louis for her baptism so her great-grandparents could attend. We had 34 people attend and Claire was related to all but 4 people. It was a great day!! Claire was able to wear the dress that I was baptized in and also my mom and sister. It fit her perfectly. After the baptism, we went to my mom's house for some yummy food!!

The kids loved playing with all their cousins, aunts,uncles and grandparents. Scott took the kids to a couple of movies. We explored the Science Center and the zoo. We were able to go ice skating with good friends who were passing through town. Scott, my brother Jason and his wife Brianna and I worked on a 2000 piece puzzle and were able to finish it which was quite an accomplishment considering my brothers dog Carmine ate a few pieces. We also were able to enjoy some bowling with the family.</div>Maddox Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345125334725237953noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165827162754936117.post-52153621476140317372010-11-04T10:56:00.003-05:002010-11-04T11:05:22.333-05:00Halloween Weekend<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAbcaL8OmAFlsOTnOFd4-IRDA4k86m7_iuvJ-F5Efyd44tgXweXcII78y30nirbODPsRvn62Xx8m26XcxKHykIiw0AIzjJ4eySMVPpsVLl83iU8E9fpZSTArTOA6s_93epDC8QTOyXwAfg/s1600/IMG_7602.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAbcaL8OmAFlsOTnOFd4-IRDA4k86m7_iuvJ-F5Efyd44tgXweXcII78y30nirbODPsRvn62Xx8m26XcxKHykIiw0AIzjJ4eySMVPpsVLl83iU8E9fpZSTArTOA6s_93epDC8QTOyXwAfg/s320/IMG_7602.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535725927066779842" /></a>Claire has a vampire<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ng26WRg-rkXYHVgPio1t0PeAIUu8vXORPQ5o7CqFRuDq5OYG_XSsz1SKf0YaX8vvp9uXHJ6DSEOqZDTAsvM-3Id9XrNSUt5Ae2G-VJw_76n-Kv2L3vet-78eextDWhP1Yrnshr5SQSWo/s1600/IMG_7624.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ng26WRg-rkXYHVgPio1t0PeAIUu8vXORPQ5o7CqFRuDq5OYG_XSsz1SKf0YaX8vvp9uXHJ6DSEOqZDTAsvM-3Id9XrNSUt5Ae2G-VJw_76n-Kv2L3vet-78eextDWhP1Yrnshr5SQSWo/s320/IMG_7624.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535725922522104994" /></a>Claire doing her vampire face</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgETsSg9CiLylLmH4TGvU-sAgfnfSQndo3x9sfXVQ58fojYwDLV_8xAqgV8g3xbo9x_e-e0VE0lK9Q6kJkTGVQlxRAI0hjeyf7wZC8wi57rVuzIRASIs-N2RsgJ59swo14knqTHsnJX6HBu/s1600/IMG_7645.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgETsSg9CiLylLmH4TGvU-sAgfnfSQndo3x9sfXVQ58fojYwDLV_8xAqgV8g3xbo9x_e-e0VE0lK9Q6kJkTGVQlxRAI0hjeyf7wZC8wi57rVuzIRASIs-N2RsgJ59swo14knqTHsnJX6HBu/s320/IMG_7645.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535725918332821858" /></a>B with his bowl of candy he got</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoZMa2WKVXpi8hhylqK2IdrZ5MGgfn5YpbeVsa_NMlDEtVg0ws22Ak9A0bKouc6Tw97Rq8u5rdJybYJfkEokikLGibDTeLyksJc6_DoTuOa8POaRrJ0BtvO53B3A-58Dl61gSriNzQ_Oas/s1600/IMG_7612.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoZMa2WKVXpi8hhylqK2IdrZ5MGgfn5YpbeVsa_NMlDEtVg0ws22Ak9A0bKouc6Tw97Rq8u5rdJybYJfkEokikLGibDTeLyksJc6_DoTuOa8POaRrJ0BtvO53B3A-58Dl61gSriNzQ_Oas/s320/IMG_7612.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535725909009633410" /></a>Brent as a BYU football player</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ5Comm4spG3jcUKmrVq91eEj5FD9ImyfCTPjKUBRmRjPhJ25M_ffmz02Z7SL01D8c4__gNR11IP4iC8zWe5LzgxebQrgBgiRMNfCMhgn4empWvg2PnWYwKJuB8h9jR0E4XTF7NDdKoPaD/s1600/IMG_7549.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ5Comm4spG3jcUKmrVq91eEj5FD9ImyfCTPjKUBRmRjPhJ25M_ffmz02Z7SL01D8c4__gNR11IP4iC8zWe5LzgxebQrgBgiRMNfCMhgn4empWvg2PnWYwKJuB8h9jR0E4XTF7NDdKoPaD/s320/IMG_7549.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535725905544007330" /></a>Nile as Elvis</div><div><br />We had a crazy Halloween weekend. We had a church trunk or treat party Friday night. Then Saturday the boys each had a hockey game and Nile had his last football game of the season. We managed to carve some pumpkins in between games. Claire really got into trick or treating this year. We were out for 2 and half hours and she didn't even eat any candy while we out walking. She had a fun time and saw some of her good friends along the way.</div>Maddox Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345125334725237953noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165827162754936117.post-21400463102738008932010-10-26T14:48:00.003-05:002010-10-26T14:55:23.903-05:00The Big Haircut<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXSwOh8MElGsd_BNgEQn65qI6gL0b6rM0l4WOX8G-2Cy3MmTLsVXfheBIm8UfWLH7J64SDNLNAKXg58QhW-mASCaSGpuH68xUZFgEeRg3EE_C5ZSKbiuzh__4NvGHYTTiS66lcHOc8uKgG/s1600/IMG_7543.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXSwOh8MElGsd_BNgEQn65qI6gL0b6rM0l4WOX8G-2Cy3MmTLsVXfheBIm8UfWLH7J64SDNLNAKXg58QhW-mASCaSGpuH68xUZFgEeRg3EE_C5ZSKbiuzh__4NvGHYTTiS66lcHOc8uKgG/s320/IMG_7543.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532445459954542162" /></a>Claire with her new do<div><br /><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3exsm2feUYvBnxVyg99V27SkCGg7u_da50zgzMWe14gJUQb2N-SF31vp4ibo_ZKqNW75bkO2ddmM7Fgq8vhhm5vR_sZ7JsChn1YQak8KtG43tKYkeV5279c3Gp5Bfj-OLZxH4TD8nfYQ4/s1600/IMG_7538.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3exsm2feUYvBnxVyg99V27SkCGg7u_da50zgzMWe14gJUQb2N-SF31vp4ibo_ZKqNW75bkO2ddmM7Fgq8vhhm5vR_sZ7JsChn1YQak8KtG43tKYkeV5279c3Gp5Bfj-OLZxH4TD8nfYQ4/s320/IMG_7538.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532445452364627106" /></a>Claire holding her ponytail of hair</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWzuB44kfyCbfg3CE63VlfXOHrRTCRINfqxn_PHxJaH_aLfFhEpMw1S4iPU_ugpdO2BtBwAuBo-kNRrZhEJXcJhV6N5MSyF8kUvzmcHra1uQXXcdXx3bbnO0gUa9kSXyoyy9e7i1mLM5L7/s1600/IMG_7536.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWzuB44kfyCbfg3CE63VlfXOHrRTCRINfqxn_PHxJaH_aLfFhEpMw1S4iPU_ugpdO2BtBwAuBo-kNRrZhEJXcJhV6N5MSyF8kUvzmcHra1uQXXcdXx3bbnO0gUa9kSXyoyy9e7i1mLM5L7/s320/IMG_7536.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532445446578130482" /></a>Claire before the haircut</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM4q08ZgpvPyLgPtbliigdwqJ_I1kofmdvXPcyjZqf9X5t7rJqURXNp6EsnLiAodFGlkqi8yW1waUUNdgUK1XDldlpsAXYOFqooxUNY90lFOvnM8HPNoMVDJq-T90UftqpxnrmfH782ZUq/s1600/IMG00173-20101021-1812.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM4q08ZgpvPyLgPtbliigdwqJ_I1kofmdvXPcyjZqf9X5t7rJqURXNp6EsnLiAodFGlkqi8yW1waUUNdgUK1XDldlpsAXYOFqooxUNY90lFOvnM8HPNoMVDJq-T90UftqpxnrmfH782ZUq/s320/IMG00173-20101021-1812.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532445435793870802" /></a>Holli cutting Claire's hair</div><div><br />So Claire has been growing her hair out for awhile now.

We have been training together since the end of June. She has had us run hills, lots of hills, which helped me on the marathon because Kansas City has lots of hills. We would meet every Saturday morning at 6am to get it in before the heat and all of the kids activities. Some mornings we even went at 5am to get the runs in for the week. We came to love our Wednesday morning 8 mile run which was how many miles I was used to doing for a long run. I have come to love my long runs on the weekends. It is so nice to get outside with friends and talk for hours while we run. I think training for a marathon is almost more fun than running the full marathon. <div><br /></div><div>Race day was a beautiful day in Kansas City. My friend Becca was pacing the marathon at 5 hours 20 minutes, I stayed with her until mile 11 or so when I came upon a big hill and need to slow down my pace so I could finish the race. I was happy that I finished the race and I was still able to go to Nile's hockey game later that afternoon. My body is recovering faster than I thought it would which is good considering my friend Becca talked me into running the San Antonio half marathon in 3 weeks. </div><div><br /></div><div>I also had talked my dad into running the half marathon the same day I did the full. I couldn't talk him into doing the full yet. He was able to set a PR with a time of 1 hour 54 minutes. It was great to have my brothers and dad and Brianna and Scott and the kids at the finish line. </div><div><br /></div><div>We had a great weekend with the family eating lots of KC barbeque both Oklahoma Joe's and Jack Stacks. I even made homemade chocolate chip cookies for my brother Jonathan who just got back from his mission. </div><div><br /></div><div>My brothers got to ice skate at Brent's hockey practice. Jason got to watch Nile play an awesome football game. Becca had given Nile the pep talk about winning is everything the night before his game. I told him he better hit those players hard because his game was while my dad and I were running and I wanted to hear that he had a good game. No pressure or anything. He also won his hockey game later that day.</div></div>Maddox Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345125334725237953noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165827162754936117.post-39464051980025326822010-09-21T12:42:00.003-05:002010-09-21T12:46:00.327-05:00Nile's Indian Project<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ZrDi45TsAaUedOD9mvbO67PxXmLbmOun8HaPvoJQ8y5GxV99X_MFaIXGG8dPzLz_UGp5das9jCQ1FbIRAJIPYcqrFzlA-4oBmU_-IdlBNOdaLnYWSaTQsbaUq73xdV5DCMmNr7urauOi/s1600/IMG_9231.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ZrDi45TsAaUedOD9mvbO67PxXmLbmOun8HaPvoJQ8y5GxV99X_MFaIXGG8dPzLz_UGp5das9jCQ1FbIRAJIPYcqrFzlA-4oBmU_-IdlBNOdaLnYWSaTQsbaUq73xdV5DCMmNr7urauOi/s320/IMG_9231.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519423791913699154" /></a>Nile with his project<br /><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj3rIkVSiL9yB-WOZ1xm8R8RA0sJruqJ30Uel3ib7s9gtU-1tyKlMv7pOTXAfqWA4dwzZ8zUPI_8IZZr_tOdTJh5DhxgrrPrylBLJ2tX8mqjTqWEdgOuVO3XHzuIbmnn7yAOjDssoohAGt/s1600/IMG_9230.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj3rIkVSiL9yB-WOZ1xm8R8RA0sJruqJ30Uel3ib7s9gtU-1tyKlMv7pOTXAfqWA4dwzZ8zUPI_8IZZr_tOdTJh5DhxgrrPrylBLJ2tX8mqjTqWEdgOuVO3XHzuIbmnn7yAOjDssoohAGt/s320/IMG_9230.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519423779160859970" /></a>Nile's Indian Reed House</div><div><br /></div><div>So Nile had to build an indian dwelling over labor day weekend.

We had a great time. We saw lots of alligators and even an alligator nest in the nature area. We also saw lots of sand dollars and starfish at the beach. The kids had a great time riding bikes all over the place. One day we even rode 10 miles to the South Beach. We enjoyed some crab legs and hush puppies at the Crazy Crab. This year we tried out the Pirate Adventure Cruise. They took the kids on a treasure hunt and had a box of treasure the kids could grab their gold coins from at the end. </div>Maddox Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345125334725237953noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165827162754936117.post-16525748353026312902010-06-11T19:48:00.004-05:002010-06-11T20:02:39.251-05:00My Birthday Weekend and Hospital Hill Run<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhue0DQx08nrwJzwHqTuGnioUT_UHydyx5zvFyhqchbszUmI7y14v-ne7C4KwR4inh97u-nxyuNflA0XlCFNf-4iUQkODfCiuKa9gP35AU2GValRxivd8JJFYkIPPYPVTgOvktgC5Apm6Ll/s1600/IMG_6513.JPG"><img style="display:block;

My dad came in town and ran it with me. I should say he started with me and then took off. He did awesome!! I didn't realize that it was the first race that he had ever run. The heat really effected me. My friends Becca and Jen stayed with me the whole time and even sang happy birthday every time we hit a mile marker. It was a fun run. Next year, I hope to be a little faster. It was fun having my parents come in town for the weekend. <div><br /></div><div>Our garden is doing awesome this year. I have picked bowls and bowls of strawberries. I have made 8 containers of homemade strawberry jam, and frozen some whole berries. I also took the kids to a big strawberry patch to pick some berries one day. </div></div>Maddox Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345125334725237953noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165827162754936117.post-59915153991463357332010-05-13T17:08:00.003-05:002010-05-13T17:20:02.242-05:00Mother's Day Weekend<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim6Ti4i79jIuI1Q5YhxxXH9nUbp_MOiZ5Co1Ef7YuQlJVV_YskuWVsNQ7c12cZP8kCIR-16789ZwLFcngf-M5DWxcPtHjdkIC9OqvKssm76Aaa_J4BgdqAOGT9OHl9wd0ObpQ4jRs0j_m5/s1600/IMG_6432.JPG"><img style="display:block;

On Saturday, Scott took Nile and Brent up to his parent's house to help his dad and brothers build a fence for his mom. They worked hard and saw a mouse and a snake while they were building the fence. Claire and I went shopping with nana and Claire had a playdate with her friend Lily. On Sunday morning, I started out mother's day with a 10 mile run with my dad and sister. My dad is going to run the hospital hill half marathon in a few weeks with me. Then I made homemade waffles for the family. We ate a great bbq dinner while we talked to Jonathan. We were able to stay an extra day in St. Louis because Scott had some work to do so my sister and I took the kids to a bounce house.

Nile also had a hockey tournament there and his team ended up winning the tournament. They had to play a team of girls and were a little thrown off by the dancing during a break to Sir-Mix-A-Lot. It was pretty hilarious. We went bowling with the Maddox Family one day and the kids loved that. The are becoming better each time we take them. Scott had a great game too until the last few frames but he still won. We were able to see Sophia and Drew in their little ice show. The kids had a fun time playing with all the cousins. We went to a fun park one day because the zoo was shut down for St. Patty's Day. Also Scott and Nile got enjoy going to the Blues hockey game. <div><br /></div><div>We took B to stick and puck to see how he would do with all his gear and he did great. He is going to start spring hockey this next week. He is pretty adorable out there on the ice with all his gear on. </div><div><br /></div><div>We also went to the city museum which was tons of fun. We all went down the 10 story slide. B was a little nervous but then wanted to do it again but we said next time because you have to walk up the 10 stories to go down. The kids had fun exploring the caves and climbing on the outside tunnels. </div><div><br /></div><div>I talked my dad into running about 9 miles with me one morning to help get ready for my half marathon tomorrow, Rock the Parkway in KC. He did great. I took him out of his comfort zone. </div></div>Maddox Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345125334725237953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165827162754936117.post-38042664354782657232010-03-03T08:47:00.002-06:002010-03-03T09:10:20.991-06:00Crunchy Carmel Apple Pie<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgThX-xJCaM15HJo4IaRXaUCK3ctQJXdOjUO4X60ygPreOdkIxAnpryOMB6wvZ-5aXHNgT1V_7a2meUT4v79-40BtTOurPsorXhmW1sIo4-MgS2GU3scYauWoaSJhMgoEDziVEpKWGjrEI8/s1600-h/crunchy-caramel-apple-pie-recipe-photo-260-FF1100THANKA14-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; height: 260px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgThX-xJCaM15HJo4IaRXaUCK3ctQJXdOjUO4X60ygPreOdkIxAnpryOMB6wvZ-5aXHNgT1V_7a2meUT4v79-40BtTOurPsorXhmW1sIo4-MgS2GU3scYauWoaSJhMgoEDziVEpKWGjrEI8/s320/crunchy-caramel-apple-pie-recipe-photo-260-FF1100THANKA14-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444425138045658802" /></a><br />Here is my recipe for the winning pie:<div><br /></div><div>1 recipe Pastry for Single-Crust Pie</div><div>1/2 cup sugar</div><div>3 Tbsp. flour</div><div>1 tsp. ground cinnamon</div><div>1/8 tsp. salt</div><div>6 cups thinly sliced, peeled cooking apples</div><div>1 recipe crumb toppinng</div><div>1/2 cup chopped pecans</div><div>1/4 cup carmel ice cream topping</div><div><br /></div><div>Prepare pastry for single crust pie. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer pastry to a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate, being careful not to stretch pastry. Trim, crimp edge as desired.

Bake for 25-30 minutes more or till top is golden. Remove from oven, sprinkle pie with pecans then drizzle with carmel topping. Cool on wire rake.</div><div><br /></div><div>Crumb Topping:</div><div>Stir together 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats.

It was pretty yummy. </div>Maddox Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345125334725237953noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165827162754936117.post-83397257446012491132010-02-23T09:57:00.002-06:002010-02-23T10:08:01.757-06:00Hockey and Snow<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBN7tLNBDSXNL4RMv8dcNgrcCGEWEAn3Z5anZHIraBpv3acXokmjszRtr9vsaA4FlT4JvSfStlMU9POHNn6M3CikTXHRetjJZMtaX9mxDfHpc4fsQCxAe1g4IBZVAnrx6J9p-PSa-YVEOO/s1600-h/IMG_6067.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBN7tLNBDSXNL4RMv8dcNgrcCGEWEAn3Z5anZHIraBpv3acXokmjszRtr9vsaA4FlT4JvSfStlMU9POHNn6M3CikTXHRetjJZMtaX9mxDfHpc4fsQCxAe1g4IBZVAnrx6J9p-PSa-YVEOO/s320/IMG_6067.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441469665243480802" /></a>Nile on the ice during one of his games<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN4neCNAxkXbK4GHVrscCrXfUl_LHz5EPqiJu2qkVNj7KU-ICLb8lgQMx3_yhJtGfS04DZC7feOMU3kupFG2CbOr-hPTWMI_HLzanbSYbDcd-rDsdz6sJFtkqvleycp_TtQXsUonHx0fSQ/s1600-h/IMG_6058.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN4neCNAxkXbK4GHVrscCrXfUl_LHz5EPqiJu2qkVNj7KU-ICLb8lgQMx3_yhJtGfS04DZC7feOMU3kupFG2CbOr-hPTWMI_HLzanbSYbDcd-rDsdz6sJFtkqvleycp_TtQXsUonHx0fSQ/s320/IMG_6058.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441469658311545074" /></a>Nile waiting to go on the ice</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr5K0v_fRH6LzZVLoR2wW4ckCxMFbcjxlXBblfFMym5l-gbnHdIgCWb47ip1ZImXjmUPK89tmlDpWe-ppZjF2KEWkyzMs_CrMLkmw1o1Dkg1fZv0pH_Fk6OaGRC0WJ2xdoEDNtmCamYrSn/s1600-h/IMG_6057.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr5K0v_fRH6LzZVLoR2wW4ckCxMFbcjxlXBblfFMym5l-gbnHdIgCWb47ip1ZImXjmUPK89tmlDpWe-ppZjF2KEWkyzMs_CrMLkmw1o1Dkg1fZv0pH_Fk6OaGRC0WJ2xdoEDNtmCamYrSn/s320/IMG_6057.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441469646507636834" /></a>Claire, B, and Nile ice skating<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp0RKBGiJoQ36TCDfjnLGQugEwqc5Sp9Ia6xGkncw1e2rEHhPEFlwY4KlaGVCSreDHmWWdPPfw__KvQqb6589fhGnooSdw1PYBhrLDdc_MyQg5uPZEHovgmhUmRosasIC4h4f9DSXTfRek/s1600-h/IMG_6039.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp0RKBGiJoQ36TCDfjnLGQugEwqc5Sp9Ia6xGkncw1e2rEHhPEFlwY4KlaGVCSreDHmWWdPPfw__KvQqb6589fhGnooSdw1PYBhrLDdc_MyQg5uPZEHovgmhUmRosasIC4h4f9DSXTfRek/s320/IMG_6039.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441469640003688834" /></a>B with his snowman<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTRP-TR3CO7LXlHgeILTFH5i5A_VoahiI8X1S1fgscKkNusrDyxCcNpotsHGxdKMdofxssYVuBV73GUqCmOJT7Io4YhIw6ivvtCbDNkbyWL7hRTdv7NLWlsEphgkQLo4jNSyB1d2Et5Bh1/s1600-h/IMG_6038.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTRP-TR3CO7LXlHgeILTFH5i5A_VoahiI8X1S1fgscKkNusrDyxCcNpotsHGxdKMdofxssYVuBV73GUqCmOJT7Io4YhIw6ivvtCbDNkbyWL7hRTdv7NLWlsEphgkQLo4jNSyB1d2Et5Bh1/s320/IMG_6038.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441469631555384114" /></a>Claire with her snowman</div><div><br /></div><div>We have had lots of snow here this past month. The kids had fun building snowmen one day that it snowed and it wasn't too cold to play in the snow. Nile has been playing lots of hockey. He made a select team this year so he has played in a couple of tournaments in Omaha and Des Moines. He has a big tournament coming up in Kansas City in a couple of weeks and he might even get to do a tournament in St. Louis which would be lots of fun. He is having lots of fun with his friends on the hockey team at the hotels, swimming and playing hall hockey. We are ready for the snow to be done and for spring to come so we can start walking to school again. B has a brand new pair of hockey skates that he loves to wear around the house with the skate guards on. He wants me to take him skating everyday. I usually take him at least twice a week. He is becoming quite the little skater. </div>Maddox Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345125334725237953noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165827162754936117.post-54111015706244611942010-01-27T16:10:00.002-06:002010-01-27T16:18:02.650-06:00Happy Birthday Claire!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUomLvMv7OVT1KICBVOY90n1nE5zYeuQ4-nuDRAKEVq8hEJ_K48xktG1wQOBgTS3-8TnbNF_r57f4ksf7Uqo-vsX2ihoZkjcidO3WwHBQQLqg3s0zFtZvUcl6CFnnO7dkvtz8xd7mNLFRH/s1600-h/IMG_5870.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUomLvMv7OVT1KICBVOY90n1nE5zYeuQ4-nuDRAKEVq8hEJ_K48xktG1wQOBgTS3-8TnbNF_r57f4ksf7Uqo-vsX2ihoZkjcidO3WwHBQQLqg3s0zFtZvUcl6CFnnO7dkvtz8xd7mNLFRH/s320/IMG_5870.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431546285036989410" /></a>The Birthday Girl<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7AX-wHk-DAyUskLuxIapzGUVV4w_GG1klmgLmkGKa7KZzO58UzGJQi0berzhA-MGDksJwU7yy2WTy9cezpWb_uSZVg43GTWcKNLkOBj29MI4FrvRL_0fA9zZTcMYNFbJEBhmBGipbkwl6/s1600-h/IMG_5940.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7AX-wHk-DAyUskLuxIapzGUVV4w_GG1klmgLmkGKa7KZzO58UzGJQi0berzhA-MGDksJwU7yy2WTy9cezpWb_uSZVg43GTWcKNLkOBj29MI4FrvRL_0fA9zZTcMYNFbJEBhmBGipbkwl6/s320/IMG_5940.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431546273455728178" /></a>Claire with her cupcakes<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGnl6EpAYqgYFRFBsdRNQEV2bkunYc4__l4EHxfRBx_pDib91KmjPwIVPRq6viSKN7n0F0rTBSsmh00gQF0SQoMp39A6ahBLEonvPdQi_8f8EWB39joCiMcmuZfgmwV22WIUAlLU7n1cmn/s1600-h/IMG_5895.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGnl6EpAYqgYFRFBsdRNQEV2bkunYc4__l4EHxfRBx_pDib91KmjPwIVPRq6viSKN7n0F0rTBSsmh00gQF0SQoMp39A6ahBLEonvPdQi_8f8EWB39joCiMcmuZfgmwV22WIUAlLU7n1cmn/s320/IMG_5895.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431546265182108658" /></a>Claire with some of her friends</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6fLvZ0SBEfY1wjqj9dZBdFVwrftLXYkwm9Z3i3yIYWme2u-narggfkGEd3vPkevu95CuqB4LcNlh7358kvdK0sj-rzXgtQn-w0GK-NE_02K-wdJoA_Av-YcRicahkKbzM1yzYKfVsrdza/s1600-h/IMG_5871.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6fLvZ0SBEfY1wjqj9dZBdFVwrftLXYkwm9Z3i3yIYWme2u-narggfkGEd3vPkevu95CuqB4LcNlh7358kvdK0sj-rzXgtQn-w0GK-NE_02K-wdJoA_Av-YcRicahkKbzM1yzYKfVsrdza/s320/IMG_5871.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431546256658047746" /></a>Nile and B jumping on the trampoline</div><div><br /></div><div>Claire turned 7 this month.

It snowed for the first time this fall on his birthday. He was so excited to see the snow. We went to Steak-n-shake for dinner. Then we had a cake later in the week and sang Happy Birthday. He wanted an under armor shirt for his birthday and he hasn't taken it off since he has gotten it. He is becoming quite the little ice skater. For the past three weeks, he has had private skating lessons. He might be ready for hockey by next fall.Maddox Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345125334725237953noreply@blogger.com1
