This was such a great week! Jeff had a break from classes since he took some finals, so he got to come home more often in the week and spent a full day and night on Saturday with us, it was the best!
First off, I have to say how proud I am of Jeff! He took a 19 HOUR ACCOUNTING FINAL on Saturday. I can't even comprehend taking a final that long! But in the end he did great with a high pass (he was only 3 points away from a superior pass)! He worked extremely hard to prepare for this final he was very blessed. We feel so grateful.
On Thursday I had a really hard day and felt kind of like I was having little mental breakdown. Jeff was so kind to come home from work early and took over. I think I was just overwhelmed from some very long weeks. The week before the test we didn't see Jeff all week and the week of the test we didn't see him until church on Sunday. So it must have taken its toll and I broke, but Jeff was wonderful to help pick me back up.
Our friends from church, the Logans, held their annual Cooper 5k, which brings awareness and raises money to help fight Kawasaki Heart Disease. Neither of us have been running in a very long time, but it was fun to get out and push the strollers. Unfortunately for Jeff, Ryan preferred him pushing, so Jeff got to push the heavy double stroller more. Even better is that we were able to be on our friend Shawn Murray's team (who is also a member of our ward) sponsored by his orthodontist office. He paid for 125 participants so we were blessed to just be able to show up! I'm so impressed with generous people and felt grateful we could participate in this way.

| At one point Lily wanted to run off on her own, do you see her with the pink pants and blue jacket? She did awesome! |
 |
| Free face painting and no line is the best thing ever. |
 |
| Kenna Cormack ran the kids race with Lily. She is so good to our kids. |
 |
| This is out of order, but just shows the love these kids have for their dad. |
 |
Some friends from church: Tara Smith, me, Tami Thurgood, Kari Murray, and Alexis Kelly.
Jeff and I decided for a last minute date night. We have discovered that painting is what we love doing best. Jeff is so funny though because he likes doing something different so he ends up changing his picture around a lot. It's fun to watch him in progress.

 |
| Taking a little bit of each color and deciding later what he'll use. |
 |
| Painting the background color is always the most fun and relaxing. |
 |
| Using the palette knife for most of the painting. |
 |
| My picture, I was trying for a pink flower since I knew Lily would love that. |
 |
| Adding drops of water on the brush so it would run down the painting. |
 |
| Kind of different, but it was fun. |
 |
| Lily has both paintings in her room. She says mine is beautiful and daddy's is awesome. |
And Lily was lucky enough to go to Kalissa Thurgood's birthday party. She got to dress up like a princess and have some fun girl time. She had a great time!
Jeff went to help with a move and since Lily was at the party, Ryan wanted someone to go. He was crying at the end because he didn't get to move anything. But the family quickly found some items that were just the right size for him. I love how these kids are so happy to be helping others!
Lily talked about the temple in her Primary class so her idea was to go to the Fort Collins temple after church. We walked by the construction and it was a beautiful evening. We can't wait until it's completed! The cap off the walk, the kids found a hill by the stake center and across from the temple that they rolled down for about 15 minutes. And then another family came and their kids joined in the fun too.

| I just had to add this picture because Max's new thing is eating apples whole. He walks around with it for 15 minutes or so, it keeps him pretty occupied. |
