Warrior Dash

This last Sunday, Paul and a bunch of our friends ran the Warrior Dash. It is described as "3.5 hellish miles" of running and obstacles. I'm pretty sure Paul finished it so fast just to get the giant turkey leg at the end :). But whatever the motivation, they all had a great time running through fire, crawling through mud, and have the scratches and bruises to prove it. I can't wait until I get to do it next year!

The second-to-last obstacle...FIRE!!


The last obstacle included mud, can you tell?


Me, my warrior, and our future warrior :)


Mmmmmm.....turkey leg!

Crab feast

I sure do miss diving, but I'm super happy that Paul still goes - especially when he comes home with a crab feast!

30 Weeks

I can't believe we only have 10 weeks to go, 30 weeks have truly flown by! We feel so blessed to have had such a wonderful pregnancy - no major issues and I'm still feeling great (besides feeling a little extra tired this week). The nursery is almost ready, the baby clothes are washed and organized, and we are deep in reading baby books. We can't wait to meet our little man!

3.7 seconds

What can you do in 3.7 seconds? Well, Savage can run down a 51 foot flyball lane with 4 jumps, get his tennis ball, then run back down the 51 foot lane with jumps. Check it out! (Savage is the first dog)


We had a flyball tournament in Salem this weekend and on the first heat of the first race, Savage ran his new personal best time - 3.7 seconds!! His brother Danger (the third dog) also ran his personal best of 3.9 seconds!

I love fireworks!

For the last few years, Paul and I have ventured down to Gasworks Park to watch the 4th of July fireworks. I absolutely LOVE fireworks and this year was the best show by far! We are so lucky to live in a country where we can enjoy our freedom because of the men and women who serve to protect it.


Paul's sister Dana and her best friend Jennifer joined us this year.
