Second Half and other Adventures...

In the last couple of weeks we have had some busy times. Tess had an ear infection that turned into a bigger problem. She actually shook her head so hard she got a blood blister on her ear. The technical term is called a hematoma. It had to be removed surgically and so for the next 3 weeks she will spend all of her time indoors and in a cone. The cone is driving us nuts already. She runs into everything with it... if our walls and furniture survive it will be a miracle. But, we love Tess and hope her ear heals properly so the cone will stay on!
Notice the shaved ear...
The notorious cone!
We spent Easter in California this year. It was absolutely beautiful! The weather was nice enough to take out Tay's pony and cart. It was our favorite part of course... Brette was a great driver although a little slow. Once Dad took the reins Bullet(the pony) went a lot faster. Tay loves taking her pony out and really who wouldn't!
Our final adventure in the past weeks was my half marathon race. I have been training and training hoping to improve my time from my first half-marathon. I loved the course. There were so many people running along side me. Jeremy did a great job of cheering me on all along the way. He has been SO supportive of me. I really appreciate that about him and hope he knows how much I love him. It was fun to run right around our home and I am so glad I worked to run this race. I came across the finish line in 1 hour and 49 minutes. It felt good and I am excited to train for another race. I haven't decided which one yet. I think I will take a little rest and then decide.
4 miles... Sugar House Park
7 miles... Didn't know Jeremy was watching!
Liberty Park and 4 miles to go...
Finished!
I love Jeremy!
Mike biked the marathon route.
