just to spice things up a bit

Eli and Cathy's 4th of July celebrations

We had a LONG day, filled with fun. We started off with a pancake breakfast and bike parade at the church. Then we visited the Peterson side of our family mid-day. And in the evening we went to a multi-family bbq with lots of food, water play and fireworks! It just doesn't quite sound as long as it really felt, but it sure wore us out. Here are some of our pics! These pics are also on my facebook, but these are the best :) We're looking forward to seeing yours too!

Weekend in Sunriver, OR

Hey everyone, just wanted to share that we spent last weekend in Sunriver, OR with Ryan's family. It was a great weather weekend, so we took our bikes and dogs and took advantage of it all. On Saturday I ran the 1/2 marathon (in 2:09:30!!)--Ryan rode his bike and cheered me on the whole way =). He must have ridden at least 20 miles that day; I had a great support team out there. I'll post pics of us from that day if I can find any. Ryan and I also walked the 5k on Sunday with the rest of the fam (note the lovely tie-dye shirts that were the 'family team' uniforms); we did get a nice picture of the two of us out of the deal though.

It was also nice to spend time with the family. And Brayden is getting so big! Almost 7 months old now.

Dogs chillin' after long walks...

It was a good weekend. =)
