A visit from my Grandpa!

My Grandpa Wooley came to visit me! He is such a trooper...he is 89 and we went all over the city. It was seriously so much fun to have him. We would go out and do something during the day and then come home and play cards or dominos at night. Jon and I had so many good laughs with him and Hayley really warmed up to him. She loves her great Grandpa Wooley! My grandpa had never been to California, so it was really fun to get to show him around. I was also able to do and see a lot of things that I haven't seen yet so it was a lot of fun. He just left today and I think he was ready to get out of the hustle and bustle of it all (He's from a small town in Utah). Here are a few highlights from the trip...

At Zuma Beach...we watch Jon surf and Grandpa got such a kick out of it.

Two big accomplishments

Jon has been super super busy since he started his MBA program. At the last minute he decided to run the LA marathon on Memorial day. He did awesome! We tried to go meet him at the middle of the race but we kept missing him everytime...he was too fast. So we just decided to meet him at the end. He finished the race in 4 hours and 12 minutes. The poor guy was really sore after he finshed but recovered fairly quickly. Jon's second big accomplishment in one week was that he finished up teaching his seminary class...whoo hoo! He really liked teaching the class but but once school started he was so busy and tired so it is great it is finally over. We are so proud of him...here are a few pictures from the race.
