Busy Weekend!

**Okay, so I haven't got this blog thing quite figured out........the pictures are in reverse order and I'm too tired to try and fix it. But you get the idea**

Wayne got off work on Friday morning and we spent the day getting him ready for the Reno-Tahoe Odyssey. It is an annual relay race that starts in Reno and goes all the way around Lake Tahoe, through historic Virgina City and finishes in Reno the following day.....178 miles total. It is a 12-member team, with each teammate running 3 legs of the race. The first year of the Odyssey was in 2005 and Wayne has run with the Sparks Fire Department's team 3 of the 4 years since it started.

Wayne ran a total of 16 miles over the course of 24 hours (with about an hour of sleep). This year he ran the last leg of the race and crossed the finish line with his teammates and lots of cheering and fan fare on Saturday afternoon at Idlewild Park in Reno.

After resting on Saturday night, we packed up and drove to Roseville on Sunday to meet our new nephew. Cole Harris Andreasen was born June 4th (23 days early) weighing 6 pounds 14 ounces and 18.5 inches. Baby Cole and Mindy are both doing great and are happy at home. Cole is already a growing boy. At his doctor's appointment today he was already up to 7 lbs 4 oz. It's hard to believe that Ben was that size just a couple of months ago!

Wayne, Jack, Uncle Jeremy and cousin Hannah played in the pool all afternoon. Mindy & Kristin were inside feeding the babies all afternoon. Then we sang Happy Birthday to Uncle Jeremy and had pizza & cupcakes on Sunday night.

Then we went to Na & Pa's house for some more fun. We played there on Monday morning and then went back over to visit Mindy, Jeremy, Hannah & Cole. We called Uncle Jimmy to wish him a Happy Birthday. After some lunch, we headed back home.

We were welcomed to Reno with a 3.1 earthquake!
