Air Show 2010

We went to the Fairchild Air Show this past weekend with the Marcus/Jones family in Spokane.  This is the 2nd time that Hudson has gone and this time he had a little bit more fun!  The last time he went he was around 15-16 months old and sat on Papa's shoulders the whole time!   Conner and Layla's first experience went pretty good- they were really good sports considering it was nap time for them both and 97 degrees outside.  It was fun seeing "uncle Bob" in his uniform!  Proud of that soldier!

Three generations of Marcus boys!

Uncle Bob- hard at work that day!

The troops- surviving the heat!

Marcus/Jones- our faves!

Sisters...

 

My sweet niece

My sweet (hot) boy!

Inside an airplane- VERY HOT!!!

Hubby is a rock star...

Devin + Chelan Man Olympic Triathlon = VICTORY
I seriously married a Rock Star!
Devin completed his third triathlon at his longest distance.  Out of (about) 600 people, he finished 11th overall and 1st in his age group.
Unfortunately- I did not get to attend, so there are no good pics.  Hoping that we get one somehow!

SO, SO, SO proud of you Devin!

Anniversary...

Well folks- we made it...

It is our 7th anniversary!  We had a wonderful weekend celebrating our amazing 7 years together.  My mom watched the boys for us overnight Friday through Saturday, which is the first time we have been away from both of them overnight (It was great!)  We had a delicious dinner at the Melting Pot on Friday night, followed by watching the Tour de France.  For most- it might not seem romantic, but we loved it!  Saturday, we went up to Seattle and walked around and had lunch.  It was a gorgeous-perfect weekend!

Never understood on my wedding day, that we could and would fall deeper and deeper in love with each other.   Amazing that we get to share this journey of life together and share each others passions together.  Feeling very, very blessed!

Triathlon Number 2

Devin convinced our awesome brother-in-law Bob to do the Medical Lake triathlon with him.  Bob- had just spent 5 days in the hospital having his beautiful daughter (my niece) and no sleep and no training....but the soldier he is- he did it!  These boys are amazing!  Kari and I thought that maybe- a small maybe...the 4 of us will do this one next year.  The swim across Medical Lake is a little intimidating, so we will see!

Here is my amazing hubby-

Summer of triathlons

conner supporting his daddy...

The Marcus' family is starting a new thing this summer- it is our summer of Devin's triathlons! Devin decided last fall that he wanted to complete the Kona Ironman in a few years. SO...leave it to Devin to dream big (always). He started his first day of training in the pool and barely made it across the pool length without drowning! The lifeguards paced back and forth- very concerned with what he was doing. Here it is 8 months later and he is swimming insane distances, as well as, kicking butt in his biking and running. He is doing amazing (of course). He completed his first triathlon at Radiant Lake on June 6th. Kari was due that day and she was a good sport who came out to watch her brother, with me, Bob, and Conner. Hudson got to stay home with grammy and papa.

Here are some pics of his first tri!

SO proud of my hubby!!!

This is him before the big race.....
