Prayers for Tripp

Tripp is sick and needs you to say prayers for him. He was born sick and he keeps getting more sick. I can't believe people can be born sick! He really hurts a lot. My mom reads his mom's page everyday. I want him to feel better so he can play with all his toys. Please say lots of prayers for him. I colored a sign for his mom to see. It might make her happy. Maybe she can tell Tripp we love him.
"Dear Tripp, It would be nice if you could get better. I will say a prayer for you tonight. Please feel better soon. Love, Jonas"





(For those who do not know Tripp is a truly amazing 2 year old who was born with a horrible disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa or EB. He isn't doing the best at the moment and He and his Family could really use all the prayers they could get. You can read about Tripp by clicking on the "Praying 4 Tripp" button on the side of blog.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONAS!!

Yes, today is Jonas' 6th birthday! It's kind of weird since we have celebrated his birthday twice already!
Doesn't he looked thrilled to be going to school on his birthday?


I have had a few emails asking if Jonas is going to keep running now that his summer break is over. The answer is of course!! His daddy and I have decided to let him adjust to his new schedule, so he should start up again next this weekend, that is if the heat can give us a break. We have had Heat Indexes in the 100's the past 3 days and toady looks no better. He has a race coming up in August that he has to get ready for, hopefully we can start up again shortly!

And now a few words from Jonas!

I started School this week. I like the first grade and my teachers are very nice. Today my mom made cupcakes for my class. We got to eat them at snack time. I am now 6 years old. Next year I will be 7. I lost a tooth the day before I started school. I got 2 dollars from the tooth fairy. I put it in my bank.

Day 39, July 17 2011

It is not hot and I am not sick so that means I get to run again. I start school tomorrow. I will have to start running after school now or I have to get up really really early. I am going to ask my P.E. teacher if we can run in class too. I need to run fast for my first race. I have to eat healthy too. If you eat healthy you can run better and faster. Eating healthy is good for you. You should eat healthy if you want to feel good. When I am done running I am always more hungry so I eat a snack.

Speed Work

Daddy ran first today. He ran for a long time. Me and my mom and sister came to get him, we were going to stop at the park and run, but my sister got sick so we went home. We brought my dad a sandwich. My dad and me did speed work. We ran up and down the hill a lot of time and then ran fast laps around our house. My legs are not tired. My mom and dad said I have a new cousin in VA. I have not met her yet.

Back in the Swing of Things!

July 8/9, 2011

I finally got to run again. We have had a lot of storms. My legs did not hurt when I started running again. I like to run. It makes me feel strong and healthy. My mom said I may get to run a race soon. I think it is a race to help save dogs. My dog colt might run it with me.

No running this weekend :(

I did not get to run this weekend. My dad had a blister on his foot. I got to swim a lot at my Uncle Mark's house.

I did not run this weekend but my dad did. He ran a race. I think my mom said it was around a battlefield. I think that means that there was a war there. I thought we were in New York. My mom and dad said that we were just in Yorktown.

There we lots and lots of spiders.

I didn't know my mom took this picture

I got to have my birthday early. I got a pokemon battle game. There were storms so we did not get to see fireworks. We did our sparklers outside though and watched fireworks on TV.

I will get to run with my dad tonight.

I did not get to run today. Instead we went to my uncle Marks house and went swimming. We also made tie dye shirts. My mom's hands and feet are red and blue and purple. I got to play badminton with my dad, we lost one of the birdies. The other one got on the roof, but we got it down with water. If we play with it at night it will glow.

My dad came home early from work. We ate at Panera Bread before we ran.
It is my cousin Becca's birthday today. I don't think I have seen her in a long time. I forgot my sign though. I will use it tomorrow. I ran with just my dad tonight. I got grumpy before we were done.

I ran this morning with my mom and sister. We did 2 laps around. We had to run short because my sister Hayley had to go to the bathroom. It was a little bit hot. I don't know if I will run with my dad today. We are going to see my grandparents. I think it will be late when we get there.

Day 20, June 29 2011

Tonight we ran around out house, but just for a little bit. My dad and I were both tired. My Dad fell asleep on the couch before we ran. I might run long tomorrow at the woods. We went to the pool when were done. I have to practice my swimming for the kid triathlon next year. It would be cool if I could run that. I might ride my bike to practice that too. I fell down skipping to the pool. I scraped my knee, and elbow and belly up. Only my knee was bleeding. I had to clean it off with a pool towel. I saw my friends at the pool.

Day 19, June 28 2011

We did not run today. We had lots of storms and lightning. Me and my dad played wii sports instead. We played golf and baseball. Daddy dared me to play baseball with him again because I beat him the first time. I found that I have another loose tooth. It is one of my top ones this time. I don't know when it will fall out.

Day 18, June 27 2011

We went running with Hayley and Mommy. Mommy was behind me and Daddy and me and Daddy stopped because I had a shoe problem. Daddy had to fix it and that's when Mommy caught up to us and Mommy said "Did you guys have a shoe problem?" We started running again when it was fixed. We beat Mommy and Hayley, they are slowpokes. Hayley slept the whole time we ran.

It is my Uncle Steve's birthday today. When my red shoes broke, I wanted to run bare feet. My dad said I could but we would only do a little run. I got some things in my foot but it didn't bleed. It only hurt just a little bit. I had to stop running to pick them out of my foot. It was my first time running bare feet. I like it but sometimes you do need shoes on your feet. We went to the park when we were done. Then my dad took me to get some more water shoes to run in. I got black this time.

Day 16, June 25 2011

We ran on a trail with colt! Colt ran the whole time really fast. Colt got thirsty and drank from my dads hand. Colt also likes to swim so he swam and chased ducks. Before we ran we went to a gold mine. It was fun. I liked the part were we got to pan for gold. We went into the mine. It was cold because it was underground We didn't see any bats but we saw 2 lizards. We ate lunch and climbed trees. I think I would like to go back.

Today is my Uncle Marks birthday. We saw the tiger cubs place again. Dad said I ran too fast at the first part, so I wore myself out in the middle and had to run slow. When we were done we stopped at the car and I got my snake, and we went on the playground and played with my snake.

day 13, june 22, 2011

We did not get to run today because we had big storms. It almost looked like a twister outside.
We went inside. We went to Mellow Mushroom for dinner instead. We had pizza and pretzels. They make good food. And when we were sitting on a comfy chairs on the TV screen I saw iCarly. I beat my dad playing tic tac toe while we were waiting on our food.
I will get to run more tomorrow.

We went to the tail park to run. We ran only 2 laps this time. We wanted to be done before it stormed. When we were done we played at the play ground. I like this trail because it has a park with a rock wall you can climb.
