Marathon - The Pain is Temporary, The Pride is Forever

ThEy DiD It!!! 

We are so proud of Matt, Nadeane and Dave for running the St. George Marathon last Saturday {10/4}. The weather was awful! It rained the whole time they ran BUT they all did a FaNTaSTiC job.

Waiting for the runners in the rain.

What a cute face!

Averi and Olivia

Joshua was hiding from my camera... but I found him.

Dad and his SUPERMAN garbage bag cape!

I just barely caught Matt running by us. 

He wouldn't stop to take a picture - I wonder why?

Dave trying to stay dry. He looks good for just running 26.2 miles.

Look at this CUTE girl! Olivia {along with the rest of us} was trying to stay warm.

The St. George Temple

I found the next 3 pictures on the internet. There is a company that takes official marathon photos. This was all they had at this point but they said there should be more later this week.

Here he is! Safe and sound!

Mrs. Beck & Mrs. Davidson,

Your elders are safe. We are in Spring TX and weren't hit too hard by the storm. The elders have been out helping with our ward clean up efforts since the day after the storm. They have probably not been able to get in touch with you mainly because they don't have power. There are parts of our subdivision that are still without power, but they are working on it as fast as they can. The elders have been a huge help. The ward is taking care of them, and we're making sure they have plenty of food and water. Attached are a few pictures of the elders at work. We sure appreciate your boys and their hard work.

Thank you,
Frances Egbert

Uintas ~ July 2008

I stole these pictures from Matty's Facebook profile. I thought they were fun pictures and that the family would want to see them.

Fish heads, fish heads...

Colby & Christine's Wedding Day 08.21.08

Cute family pictures from the Bountiful Temple.

I love this picture of Tanner and Brooke

What a CUTE couple. 

There was dancing- and a performance by the bride & groom from Moulin Rouge, even Garrett had the ending solo and the audience went WiLd. 

The food at the reception was quite tasty. There was an endless table with a ton of choices, which Matt took full advantage of.  Kaylee - don't look so concerned, Matt always eats his sandwiches in one bite. Just Kidding - Matty - I love you!

Wagna Graduated!!!

Congratulations to Wagna - who recently graduated from BYU!!! We are so proud of your accomplishment!
