We had our Blake family reunion in Ogden Utah for the 2nd time a couple of weekends ago. Why Ogden you may ask?? Because of Lane's amazing persuasive and oral skills he talked us all into running in the Ogden Marathon. (Blame Lane!!)Last year all of the boys ran in the half marathon and so he convinced them all to do that again. The girls just watched last year, but we also decided to participate by doing the relay. It was so much fun and I LOVED it!
Here is the Relay Team "Team Blake". Jamie (5 miles), Whitney (7 miles), Iola (3.1 miles), Haylee (5 miles), and Amy (6.1 miles). Considering that none of us are actually runners, besides Whitney, we did really good for our first time. I had so much fun running and experiencing the whole marathon event that I really would like to keep up with this.
The boys also did great on their halfs. Justin and Lane finished in 2 hrs 4 mins and Todd finished around 2 hrs 22 mins. 
Grandpa Blake and Uncle Bryce were troopers and decided to watch the kiddo's while we ran. The boys did great considering all of the excitement. This first picture makes me laugh because first Easton grabbed the Binky out of Jackson's mouth and then Jackson did the same to him. 
Oh and speaking of kiddos... we also got an announcement from Todd and Amy that they are expecting their second in November!! Congrats to them!!

good times- you took some really fun pictures!
OGDEN!?!? You ran the Ogden Marathon! This is completely my fault because I doubt I informed you that we moved to Ogden; but we could have come met you at the finish line or something! Oh, unbelievable. Way to go on running though! I'm totally impressed...not sure I could do it. Love it though and still wish I could have seen you.
WAHOO!! Congratulations! I am so proud of you! Remember eighth grade PE class?? You always whined that you weren't a runner and we had to practically bribe you not to walk. And you were totally holding out on us. 5 stinkin miles is SOOO much! Way to go girl!
Congrats on the marathon!! I definately think you should keep up with the running thing Haylee. Its a good stress relief!! I hoping to run a half marathon in Oct/Nov in San Antonio. I'm totally freaked out but you guys inspire me!!! Cute pics and happy anniversary!
Hey! I am really excited to meet you! When are you guys moving out to Memphis? Where are you going to live? We really enjoy it out here. It's definitely different...but there is always something to do. It's fun to be out here. If you have any questions about the area or anything feel free to ask! -Nikky
