Well Joseph and I planned a 4 day trip to Cali so he could run his marathon and it turned out to be a 8 day trip instead:)
The trucks did not put on their chains to they were blocking the roads for all of us cars. Joseph did not want to wait so he got out and started directing the trucks so there would be a place for he cars to go through. I still cant believe he did that, but he got traffic moving again so that was good:)
Once through the mess this is what the other side of the road looked like.
It got worse and worse as we drove.
My parents were coming home from St. George the next day and someone told them that they closed the road at 9:00 Sat night and people had to sleep at the church. We were so glad we got through when we did.LOS VEGAS......
My mom had a free room at the MGM Grand, so all of us stayed there Sat night to Sun. (Thanks again mom, your the best) 
Casey's brother played that day in a softball tournament so we meet up with his family and Casey's dad and went to Rain Forest Cafe.
We had the waitress sing to Casey, because her birthday was on Monday:)

We drove to San Diego on Sunday. Jason, Joseph and a bunch of guys from Platinum are going to sell in San Diego this summer so they came to test the area out Mon- Sat 
Every morning we ate at this way yummy place called Richard Walkers Pancake House. It was so good.
They even had stuff from the ovens of Brittany:):)
The first time we went there (Monday morning) we got so much food, we didn't eat until 7 that night because we were so stuffed from breakfast.
While the boys were knocking, Casey, Zuri and I just sat by the pool. Look how cute Zuri is in her swimming outfit:)
That night we went out to Mexican for Casey's birthday and this guy sang to her. He sang for like 15 min I am not even joking, it was so long. 
Zuri's face while the guy was singing, I think she even wanted him to stop.
Joseph, Jason and I planned to do something fun for Casey since she was away from home on her birthday. So Joseph and I decorated their hotel room while she was gone. Here is her face when we popped out and said Happy Birthday:) 
The yummy Oreo Cake:)
Make a wish!!!
The gang:) ( I hope you had a good b-day Casey and know that we love ya:)

On Wed afternoon Joseph and I left San Diego and drove to Palm Desert to visit my grandparents:)
One night we went to dinner with them and I say this and had to get a picture. Joseph was a good sport and did it with me:) His face is the best:)
It was so nice to relax and sit by the pool for a couple of days. Something both of us definitely needed:)
Joseph and I swam laps everyday, I forgot how much I love to swim. Its so refreshing.
My Grandma and Grandpa are so much fun to be with, Joseph and I laugh so hard when we are with them. My grandpa has some super funny jokes/comments, he is hilarious. And my grandma has the best stories. I love them so much, they are the greatest. 
Sat afternoon Joseph and I left Palm Desert and drove to L.A. to pick up all his stuff for the marathon. They started right here at Dodger Stadium.
They had all sorts of things there. This is an ellipti-go its a elliptical rider and bicycle in one. I wanted it so bad:)
This is where Joseph finished his run. The Santa Monica Pier. It was very over cast and smoggy that day, but very nice weather for the runners.
And here he is:):) Joseph finished in 5 hours and eighteen min. Such an amazing time for someones first time. I had to jump over the gate to get this picture, (It was a pretty funny sight, pregnant girl jumping over this huge metal gate:)) they had the whole place barricaded off.
there were so many people there is was crazy. Over 25,00 people ran in this marathon it was huge.
It was the 25th year L.A. has done this Marathon and they gave all the runners a metal.
They had so many snacks and treats for the runners after the race and Joseph and I packed my bag full so we could have some yummy snacks for the ride home, as you can see its about to fall off my shoulder:)
They put these blanket looking things over every runner to keep their temp the same so they would not go into shock. I got there when the race had been going for 2 hours and the people that were finishing that early were falling on the ground, throwing up, not able to walk. The medical staff ran to those people so fast it was not even funny.
Here is the bib Joseph had to wear while running. I still cant beleive he ran a marathon, he did such an amazng job.
