The last few days have been so much fun!! Saturday I ran my first half marathon. It was so fun! I loved it! The best part was seeing Ethan and the boys cheering me on. They had these cute signs, so cute. Then at mile 5 all the sudden on my ipod I hear this little voice saying "go faster mommy you can do it". It was Ty, Ethan recorded him on his blackberry and put it on the ipod. I loved hearing it. It was awesome. Then at the very end one of my neighbors jumped out from the crowd and yelled, "Let's finish this." So I started running faster. Then he yells, "Pass those people." So I ran even faster and passed a few people and by the end I finished in a sprint. I loved it and I think I'll do it again.
Then on Monday my sister had her baby, Tanner Clayton Berg. He was 9lbs 8ozs, I know. I was able to hear his first cry. I loved it. I can't wait to hold him again (and put gel in his hair, he has the most amazing hair!) Love you big, little guy, Tanner!!
Sorry Shawn hit you, Tanner.

What a cute family you have. I love the 1/2 marathon stories. and your neighbor rocks! Congratulations :) What an accomplishment!
Way to go Rachel! I would NEVER do that, but I admire those who do....I'm just not a long distance runner anymore, back in the day I was, but old age and stupidity has crippled parts of this old body! Keep up the good work--"smokin' hot mama"!
Way to go on the run, you're awesome! And oh my gosh, what a huge first baby, I hope your sister is doing well.
Yay!! I am SO thrilled for you. And you're even smiling at the end, a true runner! THis is only the beginning, you'll have to feed the addiction sooner or later. =)
Way cute Ethan with recording Ty's voice! What a sweet idea, I'm going to have to show Matt this. =)

Go Rache! I am so proud of you running a half. That is serious running! Congrats!
Wow, way to go! That's so awesome you did a half! I really hope to be able to say that one day. Your boys are getting so big! They are so cute. We miss you guys down here, but it looks like you're loving life up there and having a good time. I'm glad. If your ever down here though, give us a call and we'll have to do dinner or something.
P.S. Glad you're back to blogging! YEA!

Great Job! I am so excited for you. I wish I could be so motivated. I love the motivational track on the ipod, give my props to Ethan for thinking of that.
