Run Mom Run

I ran the Bridle trails 5K again this year. One becuse my best friend Sandra really wanted to try a 5K and two becuse I wanted to see how much better I could do it this year.

I am down over 30 pounds from last years weight on race day and in so much better cardio health. I knew that I could do better and I did. last years time was 42:47 and this year I ran 36:44.

Not only did I run it in less time, it didnt hurt as bad as last year and I wasnt out of breath. Last year I walked at least a mile of it cause I just couldnt run the whole way. This year I ran the whole way and then even felt like I could keep going.

What a difference one year and 30+ pounds lost makes!


Brian, Betty and the boys were screaming and yelling cheering us on!

A day at the beach

In Washington the weather is never truly "beach weather" but we take what we can get. We had a really nice sunny day and the tides were out so we packed up the car and took a little trip to the beach in Mukilteo. This was Kai's first time at a beach (at least the he remembers) and took to it like the little water boy that he is.

Happy Fathers Day

Brain and Curtis, 2 men, 2 dads, 2 guys having a good drink. Hope you both had a great day and thank you for being such good fathers, husbands and friends.

Beret's Birthday

Beret is 17. Man does time fly. I remember you as a little girl not much older than Eli. Time moves so fast, in a blink of an eye. You sure have grown into a beautiful woman and you are so smart and so talented. The whole world is ahead of you.

Happy Birthday Sis!




Oh and since I know your favorite color is blue, here is your Smurf cake!




And we couldn't be without blue teeth!
