He has inherited quite a few nick-names over the last year and here are some of them, we are talking names that he is called on a regular basis, at least a few times a day:

Tiny Man
Lando Face

Celebrating Independence!

We celebrated the 4th with Aaron's sister and family in the 'Burg! Her husband happened to be in charge of the town celebration including, mechanical bull riding, pie eating contest, face painting, hay stack lasso, stick horse ride, 3 enormous bounce houses, carnival games and of course fireworks. I don't know if the kids have ever had so much fun, I don't know if I have either!! Once again, thanks Carrie and Tyler for ALWAYS showing us a good time. Syd is stayin with them for the rest of the week! Thanks auntie C!!!

1/2 Marathon Man

At the concert:

The Seattle Rock n' Roll Marathon took place yesterday where a band was stationed at each mile-point through out the race, and Aaron really ROCKED it!!!! He ran 13.1 miles in 2 hours and 30 min. He actually injured his knee pretty bad, and had to walk for a bit, so he would have even got a better time if he was able to run the entire time!!!!! He said it was SO nice to hear the music playing in the distance because then he knew he was getting close to the next mile marker! This marathon made history in Seattle, as it was the largest one to ever take place here. There were over 15,000 half marathon-ers and over 5,000 full marathon-ers.

Aaron's parents, the kids, and I went down to cheer him on and it was a BEAUTIFUL day (which is asking a lot for Seattle). The kids had a blast watching all the people and seeing their dad doin his THING! The kids made homemade signs and were so proud of their dad! Check out the website for more details http://www.rnrseattle.com/ and to see when the rock n roll marathon is going to be at a city near you!!!! Maybe we will come run it with you (Arizonians, Californians and Texans).

Also there was a big concert held last night for all the runners and their families. Aaron and I went and Grandma baby-sat! It's been a long time since we had gone on a date. We got to see Keb' Mo' (Jazz) and Ryan Shaw in concert (which I have never really heard of) but it was so incredibly fun! We are so proud of our Dad/Aaron! You ROCKED the ROCK n' ROLL 1/2 marathon!!!!!

A New Home...

We have moved and guess what? We all live under the same roof again!! It feels good being a family again after 6 1/2 months. We are living with Aaron's parents temporarily, they are so nice (and very brave) to have 5 extra people living with them!! As I pulled away from my house yesterday, I was filled with relief, sadness, exhaustion, but most of all just joy. I don't know if I have ever had so many different emotions at once. On to the next phase of life, and it's about DANG time!!!
