Just Us Run

This event for IJM is quickly becoming one of our favorite summer events!  Its our third year at the Just Us for Justice race - raising money and awareness to end human trafficking.  The kids love it, its wonderful community, and what a great way to enjoy a summer night!

Logan all set with his number for the 1/2 mile.

John was interviewed for the news - his high school students from JW trained and ran together.

Eden was awesome (but so tired from skipping her afternoon nap!) in the jogger!

Good luck hugs for Dad as he heads out for the 5 mile.

"Go Dad!"


Our best friends Mollie and Aubrey were busy serving up Summer Snow on this hot summer night!

The boys enjoyed some kids' games while we waited for John to finish his 5 mile run.

Getting sleepy....

Bennett did some warm up jogging to get ready for his 1/2 mile race.

Here comes John!  No surprise: he finished in the front of the pack.


Mommy and Eden's race was next: the 2 mile!  I wasn't sure if we were going to run or walk but it seemed everyone around us was running, so I did, too!  Its really hard to walk (even walk fast) if everyone around you is running!  We had a great time and Eden actually snoozed while I ran!

Then it was the kids' race!  1/2 mile and the boys were so pumped!!

Logan has blue shorts on...

I was video taping so my photos are mediocre.  Logan has the blue shorts.  He did so awesome!  He started out the race with John and Bennett and some friends, but he broke away and ran so fast!  I was proud of my boy!

Then came Bennett in his green shirt!!!


Both boys were so amazing!  Running the race independently.  On the way home I was so impressed because they talked about how we ran to make sure other people can be free like like us.  Its so true.  We are lucky and everyone deserves to live and be free!


"Oh yeah baby!"


Ahhh! Our kids are the cutest!!!  Such a fun family night!!

Then we had Summer Snow, hung around with friends, and had a great night!

Just Us For Justice!!
