We temporarily interrupt the “Chronicles of Ecuador” to report on TEAM ROBB!
Jeff, Madison & Matthew participated in a Half Marathon from Napa to Sonoma on Sunday, July 17, 2011 benefiting Crohn’s & Colitis Research
Meet Kathy, wife of Jeff, mama of Madison & Matthew and THEIR BIGGEST FAN/SUPPORTER!
Dad flew out from Pennsylvania for the event to support TEAM ROBB!
Signage was made!
Emily wishes Madison luck in the upcoming race! GO MADDY!
Max wishes Matthew luck in the upcoming race! GO MATT!
GO TEAM ROBB!
Waiting at the half way point in the race to give “our runners” support along the way.
This is Steve. He was hanging out along side the road with us waiting for the Robb Family to zoom past!
Max was having fun giving runners high fives as they passed by. He said, “Look at this mommy” and he stuck his hand out. Runners with huge smiles would give him HIGH FIVES as they ran by!
Emily getting excited to see her cousins come through the 1/2 way point!
Max says “GO MADDY”
Jeff arrives at the HALF WAY MARK looking strong, and slightly sweaty, with a smile on his face! Way to go, Jeff!! 
Matt arrives at the HALF WAY MARK looking good!! He even picked Max up and ran with him for awhile. Max was thrilled! Matt was exhausted!
Madison arrives at the HALF WAY MARK grabbing water in one hand and Emily’s hand in another! Looking good! How do you look so beautiful after 7 miles of running?
Jeff arrives at the finish line at 2:10:08!! OH YEA! That’s my cuz! Okay, truth be told, this is not exactly how he looked as he crossed the line! The guy ran the entire way at a good steady clip! I thought he was going to pass out when I saw him.
Matt arrives at the finish line at 2:33:54!! YES!!
Emily gives Matt a squeeze & gazes at him lovingly! She is so proud of her cousin!
Madison coming in for a strong finish!
Madison arrives at the finish line at 3:14:47 with support from her brother, Matt, & a fellow Denver Team Challenge member!! OH YEA!!
Her mom, Kathy, gives her a BIG HUG!
Max gives her a kiss for an incredible job!!

Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis – IBD – impacts over one million Americans and millions world-wide, but many suffer in silence because the symptoms are not something that are typically discussed. Crohn’s has affected the lives of my cousins and we support them! Jeff, Madison and Matthew each raised $3600 for the benefit of Crohn’s & Colitis Research. GO TEAM ROBB! YOU ROCK!
Thanks to Kathy, Michael, Christian & Olivia for Emily’s new beautiful & colorful Hanna Anderson dress! She loves it!!! She tells me it has pink & purple & blue in it which are her favorite colors!
Emily and her good friend, Kathy! When Emily lists her friends off she never forgets to mention “Kathy”.
Madison, Emily, Matt & Max outside of the “Hula Grill” in Maui the day after Thanksgiving
What a wonderful surprise to find out that The Robb Family was in Maui the same time we were there. Wallace posted something on Facebook about our upcoming trip and they called us to let us know that they were already there. 
Madison & Emily in a loving embrace
Madison & Emily bonded pretty much immediately and had a love fest!
Matt & Max also bonded within a few seconds
Emily playing with some wierd mouth piece thing?!?! I tried to leave it in Maui, but she found it and told me that I had almost forgotten it.
Max hanging out ‘n relaxing with cool cuz Matt
Laughing ‘n giggling was plentiful

These are some drawings that Emily made for Kathy (a.k.a. “Christian’s Mom”). Emily loves Kathy! When she names her friends she always mentions “Kathy”.
Kathy & I took the kids to Morgan Hill Aquatic Center today. This is just one shot of the water park. There are several different areas.
Emily going down the slide
Christian wallowing in the shallow pool
Max heading to the ladder and up to the water slide area
Emily must’ve gone down the slide at least 25 times!
She was a little maniac

We celebrated Emily’s 3rd BD yesterday with friends & family
The main event for Emily’s 3rd BD was “Happy Birds”, a performing parrot show
Seven beautiful & friendly parrots entertained us all and Emily even got a kiss from pretty “Piper”
This particular bird is a trainee to the show. Emily is feeding him an almond.
The bird show consisted of various birds riding a bike, riding a scooter, singing songs, making other animal impersonations, skateboarding, opening water bottles, etc.
Max was an active participant in the audience with lots of questions for the “Bird Lady”. He loved it!
Piper wants to give Max a kiss,
but Max holds back …

Happy 3rd Birthday Emily!!
Christian & Max waited in line for The Frog Hopper for quite some time. They actually cut in line to the front and Kathy had to tell them to go to the back of the line!
Christian looks like he is having second thoughts about the ride
YEP! Christian’s off!
Max having fun!!! The cute random girl sitting next to him is a little nervous though.
Max & Christian on “The Granny Bugs”

Christian & Emily have fun on the Granny Bugs together
Kathy & I are slightly concerned that Emily & Christian are going to be Happy Hollow buddies;
since Max is a bit of a dare devil. Here he is standing in line for the roller coaster. We waited over 30 minutes!!
All in all, it was a great afternoon @ Happy Hollow! Kids had a great time! That’s what it’s all about!
Emily proudly participated in the Nordstrom Kids’ Fashion Show this morning with her brother Max and his friend, Christian. Here she is modeling a bright pink & black Popatu Tutu skirt with multiple soft layers of flouncy tulle topped with a bow at the waist for a girly finish
Kathy & Emily take a moment together before the Fashion Show begins
