The Color Run

Earlier this year my mom told me that her ward's Relief Society was going to sign up as a group to run The Color Run.  The Color Run was founded by my friend Heidi and her husband Travis.  This run was scheduled for November in San Diego.  My awesome friend Chellese even agreed to come down from Utah to run it with me.  Well, between when we signed up and the race, I found out I was pregnant.  That meant that I would be walking, not running, my first-ever 5K.  My mom and Chellese were kind enough to walk with me.  

We headed down after school on Friday and enjoyed our lovely walk on Saturday morning.  Rick and the kids decided that we'll have to do the race again next year as a family.  Simon, in particular, was bummed that he couldn't walk with me.  At the end of the race, they have a major dance party (that Travis DJ'd) and the kids got lots of energy out and lots of color on them.  

We concluded the morning with breakfast at the Eggery, Rick's favorite breakfast place.  It did not disappoint.  

Happy Color Racing!

Baby Johnson is walking too.


My mom got this pic of Piper.  Frankly, I was a little weirded out by this guy.


At the happy wall.  My happy thought was "baby #3."

Jump around!




Celebrate all the color!


Loving the green goggles look.

My mom got the kids t-shirts and Piper this cute tutu.  Thanks Mom!

I'm SO glad I got to come! It was so fun to see you and get some picture of your LA life. Your house is great. Your kids are brilliant. Your mother is uber generous and fun. Many many thanks to you and Rick for taking good care of me. You are the perfect hosts! XOXO - Chellese
