Sky High Sports
To celebrate the inner child in us, Chris and I hung out with Bryce and Austin. We went to Sky High sports, and indoor, huge trampoline arena, and jumped our hearts out. We were all sweaty and tired by the end of the, er, 45 minutes! We have a whole hour, but I bailed at the 50 minute mark!!

The California International Marathon Relay Challenge
The youngest member of our running team, Elly Kay! She cheered us on at every stop along the way!
Team Run for Fun AABB accomplished their first Marathon Relay! Wynter, Dave, Chris and I completed 26.2 miles together. We had a blast and hope to do it again.
The finish is at the state capitol. Pretty sweet view!
Wynter ran the first leg, around 6 miles. She passed off the microchip to Dave, who passed off Elise to her! Elise sure was a trooper, she even managed to fall asleep at one point in between being loaded up and unloaded.
Chris finishing his longest run ever! He did great, under 55 minutes for almost 6 miles!
Nice work team run for fun! We were famished afterwards and everywhere had a wait (Sunday after church time) so we went to In & Out and replaced the calories that we expended! (Yes, Dietitians do eat occasional hamburgers.)

For Ava's 3rd birthday, she wanted pancakes for dinner. Chris and I cruised up to Folsom after work and had some delish pancakes made by grandpa Ron.
Kim and Lily
This little princess got a ton of dress up clothes! She pulls it off well, don't you think? I particularly like the shawl... It is so fashionable for preschool!
The clip on earrings and the bling ring also complemented her get-up. Ava was very good, and offered to share all of her new toys with Lily.

We started a little early this year, due to Chris getting picked for jury duty, as well as his work schedule having some stretches of days together. We ventured out to home depot (ohhh, ahhh!) and picked out a noble fir tree. 
Arthur wasn't into decorating the tree, but he put these on and wouldn't take them off!! Didn't make it in time for the Xmas photo!
The tree is a little crooked on top, but so was our star. Better go get a new one that's marked down after the holidays.
Our kid, so cute!
Mat decided to come over to check out our tree. He was a little serious, but he enjoyed looking at the lights. I dont know if I would like people putting silly headbands on me and smiling really big either!

Thanksgiving
A Carmichael celebration! Court, Robert, and I did the run to feed the hungry along with thousands of other people out there to raise money for the Sacramento food bank. Chris worked all day, came home to a turkey dinner, and was asleep by 830!
Persimmons, bell peppers, onion, garlic, orange/mango juice, honey, sage, and chives. Next time I will invest in another baking tin... The dollar tree version barely held out for the 4 hours of basting and baking!
A chilly race photo!
Celebrating and giving thanks the night before at Grammy and Gramp's. Elise is sure growing.
A classic pose, Ava is always SUPER excited for a scoop of ice cream! We are so thankful for our health, family, friends, and lives. We are very fortunate and feel blessed to have a place in this world.Wednesday, December 24, 2008
Our Trip to Glamis Dunes
We ventured down all 620 miles to Glamis dunes for 5 days. It was a long drive but always worth it. The weather was in the 80's to 90's out in the dunes, and we are talking about the week before thanksgiving! It was nice to escape the cooler weather that was coming to Sacramento.
Here are Paul, Sharon, and Brody with his doggles on.
Watching the drag races you can't help but enjoy the desert sunsets!
We had a great Thanksgiving dinner on the Saturday before Thanksgiving! We had 3 trailers lined up, 3 ovens and stoves going to boot!
Buds!

She blast that out of their trailor! It was hilarious!
It was very relaxing, I was able to start and finish The Shack (Read it!!), and go for runs in the mornings before it got too hot! We went on some great rides with Paul and Sharon, and did some riding on the quads as well.
Buds!

A Special Event
My girlfriend Jaclyn has a passion for Africa. And kids. So she connected with an orphanage in Africa, and a non-profit Solace International, some connections in the community, and wah-lah! A benefit with silent auction and live auction to boot! Plus a personal chef from Vegas!
Tashina was a superb helper with Desmond and Isaiah.
I worked the door, collecting the admission fee and handing out bidding numbers. Chris watched the door for me while I checked out the african dancers, drum music, and the party getting a little wild on the back deck!
Inside, the walls were packed with supporters.
Good friends for life!
Jaclyn did such an amazing job raising funds for Solace. The event itself made over $7,000, and her total to date is over $9,000! We are so proud of you, Jac! What a special channel for your talents!
