I would tell you what's going on in this photo, but it's more fun to anticipate what your guess might be. What happens in Grandma's basement, stays in Grandma's basement.
We all walk around the house like this all day so that we fit in.
I'm figuring out this fingernail polishing stuff. It's true, I buy the expensive brands in the coolest colors and spend lots of time painting it up. What a blast. I didn't know you're supposed to seal the paint job with a sealant. Gotta get some of that next, Janna's toenails are calling to me since she can't reach them right now.
Some kids bring their toys to show and tell, some kids bring cool rocks or seashells. We bring rats - so what? Somebody has to educate the masses on what great pets they are, I nominate Lauren. I went to class one day (me, Janna, and Rylee) and carried this cage all the way into the school with little kids gawking at me all down the hallway. I told them it was a poisonous sewer aardvark. "WHOOOOOA!" was the response.
Moab, Utah

Friday, May 14th. My Red Rock Relay was the next morning. So we visited Arches National Park and saw some absolutely amazing scenery. You have to hike about 1 mile to get to Delicate Arch (above), then hike 1 mile back.

We also saw Balanced Rock. This structure is amazing, you can stare at it all day long - it's honestly suspenseful because you know it's going to fall any moment. Keep watching.

The next morning we were at the starting line by 8am. The course was 70 miles, out along the Colorado River, through the RedRock Canyons, up into the La Sal mountain range and back into Moab. We each ran twice, it took us about 8.5 hours.
The object in my hand is our team "baton" (a snap-on wrist wrap, nice & sweaty too)
My team from left to right: (Taylor Monson, Justin Nipko, Steve Schaeling, me, and Patrick Monson, unfortunately Lance Tilley is missing from this photo)

Here is my team entering the finishing stretch at the park in Moab. I was bummed Lance missed this photo of our team - that's a story for another day. We actually placed third overall out of about 200 teams.

Team name was "The Guns of Sierra La Sal"

Congrats! I didn't know you were expecting, how exciting!
Cute prego pic of Janna! When is baby due?
Nice basketball you got stuffed under your shirt, Janna!!!!
The pictures are great, love the one of Janna and the girls. The finish line is awesome. The pictures of the girls great! Have a good, good day!
Baby is due July 4th, but will in reality come way before that. She's measuring in right now at about 7-1/2 lb, she's breech, and Janna has been having increased contractions this past weekend. Better pack my night bag.
Thanks for updating!!! Get that bag packed, we are waiting with great anticipation. What is the story behind your chosen item for a team baton? What an amazing accomplishment, you are my hero crazy man!
New rule Mark. No funny looking pictures of sister-in-laws without their approval!
