So Cal Ragnar Relay 2011

We ganged together with some friends to conquer another Ragnar Relay. We spent 32 hours wearing and tearing down our bodies. Running all day, all night, then all day again. Each of us ran 3 different legs. Devin's totaled 20 miles and mine, 17 miles. We must have used over 40 different port a potties. Emptied over 60 bottles of water and shuffled through hundreds of songs and we did it all on 3 hours of sleep. We were the California Rollers-Roller Derby Team.

Here is Dev before his first run and aft

Here he is all geared up and ready to go for his night run at 2 am

The run went from Huntington Beach to Coronado Island (200 miles).

And Then She Was TWO

Our little lady had her birthday last week. Devin and I were out of town on her special day but lucky for us she didn't know any better so we celebrated the day after.

This little girl is full of life and energy. She's crazy about the two boys that are in her life and she can't live without her pretties (accessories). She loves to wrestle and be tickled and she would eat cheese and bananas all day if I'd let her.

Belnap Bakery

This is what happens when you leave a two year old alone downstairs and an open bag of flour on the counter.

She was so proud of herself she's waving at the camera.

Karate King

Crew's always telling us he wants to learn karate so we threw him into an intro to Karate class to see if it really would be something he'd like to do. No surprise to us he loved it and picked up on all the moves right away. But there was one thing he had trouble remembering.

In Karate when the teacher is talking to the student, the student is always suppose to answer saying, yes sensei or no sensei. (Sensei is Japanese for teacher). Since Crew's thoughts lately are focused on Kings and Knights he kept answering, yes sire and no sire. Except he says it more like, siah and with an accent. The teacher got a little frustrated. I probably should have explained to him why Crew was answering that way but all I could do was laugh.
