Just Another Day in Paradise

AND JUSTICE FOR ALL

It’s the 2010 Law Day Run 5K! Each year the law firms here in Salt Lake City hold a 5k and give the proceeds to “And Justice for All” that helps raise money for civil legal aid programs in Utah. This will be our 3rd time running it. It’s always fun because it runs through the University of Utah campus and we get to invite all the friends and family we can. All expenses paid! Colton was aching from a very physical soccer game the night before and was worried that he might not perform well. All worries were put to rest though as the gunshot sounded and we were off. We ran together the whole race and finished in about 24 minutes. Our friends Brett & Jenny and Chris & Lisa ran the race with their dogs and had a great time as well. Until next year!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACADOO!

On Sunday the family got together to celebrate McGavin’s Birthday! With Brooklyn and Kyle in Oregon and Ash and Spence and the boys in California it wasn’t a big party. Man we sure do miss everybody. The party was pretty funny though. Mom as usual went over the top in “Star Wars” decorations and even tried to get us to tattoo our foreheads to match her and Mac.

The best part was the trivia game that mom had us play. She cracks us up! She would ask questions like: “Did Mac ever get baptized?” which isn’t a bad question, but then she would follow quickly with “Well if he didn’t get baptized then what did we have instead?” Haha. Before the game started though she made us stare at past photos of Mac and said the questions would be based on those photos. She would then ask us questions like: “What was McGavin’s given name at birth?” LOL. Colton asked “How are we supposed to know the answer to that from one of those photo’s Mom? Seriously.” It was just pure chaos. But Mom made light of the situation and Danielle and Colton ended up tying in Mac Trivia. Afterwards Mom would tell us funny stories about McGavin as a boy. One of our favorites was when Mom and Dad went to the movies with him. After coming out from the movie they found Mac at the concessions with both hands pressed up against the glass and slobber coming down everywhere. The employee scared out of her mind behind the counter and says “I think he wants some candy.” After dinner we took Mac home and during the car ride we rolled the windows down and turned the music up because Mac loves it. He was pretty happy because he put his head and both arms outside the window like he was flying and wouldn’t stop laughing. It was hilarious. The best part of it wasn’t seeing how much fun Mac was having but instead seeing the reaction on the people’s faces as we passed them in the carpool lane. Oh Mac we love you buddy. Thanks for all of the good memories and many more to come. Happy Birthday Buddy!
