HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The Monday before Halloween Andreasen family members can always be found at Aunt Dawn's house, eating, visiting and carving pumpkins!  In years past the crowd was many in numbers, small in body, with many creative pumpkins carved.  Now, we seem to be fewer in numbers, larger in bodies and few, but creative pumpkins carved!  

THE SMALLEST PERSON in the group, however, ALWAYS GETS THE MOST ATTENTION!  Ellie was the hit of the night, thanks to her good parents for sharing!  

No matter what we always FUN!  We love getting together - though we always miss those who can't make it, some busy close by, others living life farther from Aunt Dawn's house than we would like!  

Families are Forever!  I love mine!

 Happy Halloween to all of you!

with love always,

Lori

THREE...

What best describes this picture...?

Three's a charm?

Three strikes YOU'RE OUT!

Three's a crowd

Two out of three ain't bad...

Three's a charm - kind of, I guess.  This picture was taken at the finish line of my THIRD marathon...

Three strikes you're out!  That's how I feel now.  Three strikes and from here on out,  I'm OUT of the full marathon running...but here's one advertised that YOU might be interested in!  

Coming to Mesa - The Phoenix Marathon!  March 3, 2012 will be a half marathon (13.1 miles)! From 2013 on it will be a FULL marathon - 26.2 miles!  Come join the fun!

Three's a crowd.  Nope!  The more the merrier when it comes to marathon running!  We ran in St. George with 5,700 finishers.  Here's the ones we knew...

Tim Cowley, his first marathon! 4:47:32 - Mike Norberg, his 20th marathon! 4:10:22  - me (!) 4:30:21 and Jay Allen, his 4th marathon! 4:30:20 (yes, take note HE BEAT ME!)

(minus one, Kerry Green, who finished so fast (2:53:35) he already went back to the hotel with his five kids when we came in!) 

Two out of three ain't bad... well, not really.  The goal was to run this marathon with Amy.  She motivated us, she found our training schedule, and she ran with us until she got sick and just couldn't.  Mono is not our friend, but Amy was a GREAT cheerleader!  

Brooklyn Green, Amy, Anika Green and Jason at the finish line!

 

 

other cheerleaders - Melissa Standage, Mel Allen and Marki Baxter!  Great support for the crazy runners!

 
Love,

Lori
