Moab Half Marathon


This sounds really crazy coming from me but I'm running the Canyonlands Half Marathon in Moab, Utah on March 19th with Drew and some members of his family. While we train to meet our endurance goals, we'd also like to reach our fundraising goal of $4000. Our efforts will benefit the Huntsman Cancer Foundation in Salt Lake City, Utah. If anyone wants to make a donation of any amount, it would be greatly appreciated!

As many of you know, my dad, Jan Lindbloom, died after a 2 year battle with melanoma fourteen years ago and I would love to run in his honor. I know he would be excited to see me participate in this event as he always strived to be physically active, to the extent his body would allow, during his lifetime. I know many have been affected by cancer to some degree and it's extremely devastating. I read that in the U.S., one in three women and one in two men will develop cancer during their lifetime.

Thank you so much for supporting us in our efforts and helping to provide hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.

You can donate through our team page via this link:

or through my personal page via this link:


My goal is to raise money, participate, and just not kill over before I reach the finish line!

Cheers!

Here's Kade and Drew sharing a Fanta drink on Skype.  I love that we can do this.  It was midnight for Drew in China at about 8:00 this morning and he called to chat.  Kade spotted a Fanta that he was drinking and we happened to have some too so they were able to do a toast!  We left skype up for awhile as we carried on with our morning and Drew worked on the computer.  He was able to chat with Kade and entertain him so it was nice!

Christmas Fun 2010

 Christmas time seems to fly by so fast!  It was crazy but fun and even better this year for two reasons. First, Kade was able to get excited about it and somewhat understand the idea of Santa. And second, apart from our trip to Utah we didn't have to drive in or deal with snow - although I still managed to run our car into someone. Here's a few of the pics from this Christmas season:

 We went to play in my idea of a good snowstorm (foam) down at Dessert Ridge mall with our buddies.



 Yes, it was December and Kade was playing in the water at Slade's house with no pants on ... lovin the weather.

 I don't know who was more excited for this but we rode on the Polar Express train in Flagstaff and it was a lot of fun.




 Kade used to call himself "Kiki" so we were pretty excited to see this and force him to stand in front for a picture.

 Then we went up to Utah on Christmas Eve for a week and had a great time with everybody!
 
 Kade couldn't get enough of the cousins...


 And sure loves his Grammy and Papa!


 He was pretty stoked about his new bike from Santa and my sister Julie found him this sweet Jets helmet.

 It was freezing cold but he still managed to get some riding in!

 Drew and Tim playing "Musical Jeopardy" with everyone!


 Kade and dad doing a little sledding ...


We were all so pooped by the time we drove home. Kade decided to get comfortable here and I had to take a picture before moving him!

Halloween Fun

Pics from Halloween parties, our trick-or-trunk, and pumpkin patch trip:













 
We seriously heart the Zac Brown Band and their concert was awesome!


While the boys watched football we enjoyed ourselves some fun youtube clips!

Happy Birthday Daddy-O! Drew turned 31 last month!











I had no idea the Bass Pro Shop was so exciting (thanks Abe)...and they have some sweet lingerie!
