Urban Camping

Alana had this great idea to camp in the yard yesterday. Raf set up the tents and provided the smores!  We set up the laptop and watched a movie. It was great!

Bay2Breakers 2009

Myself and eight other friends went to San Francisco this weekend to participate in the Bay2Breakers marathon on sunday. We stayed at the King George hotel on saturday and went to Ruby Skye, which is in the top 25, as far as best dance clubs go, in the world. On sunday, we woke up bright and early to get ready for the marathon. After three hours of walking, we headed home, so I could take a 17 hour nap.

For all of those who don't know what Bay to Breakers is; it's a 12k marathon held every third sunday in May. It's in honor of San Francisco and all it represents. Most everyone dresses in costumes and some even go naked. You can run or walk it and about 15,000 people participate every year.

Mothers Day 2009

Alana you are amazing to me! You will always hold an extra special place in my heart because you made me a mother! I look forward to everyday when you wake up, crawl into my bed to snuggle for a few extra minutes, and whisper in my ear,"Mom, you're my best friend!"

Brett's BBQ

Brett, you have some really great friends! Thanks for inviting us over, it was a blast! As you all can see, even the dogs had a lot of fun. Alana was the only child there, but even she had an amazing time. Emily, it's official, Alana and yourself are now best friends (so Alana says). And last, but not least, The Brett Brew was fantastic!

"Rocket"

I would like to formally introduce everyone to the newest member of our family. Rocket is a five month old, female, west highlander white terrier/Chihuahua mix. We saved her from a local pound. Raf really wanted a big dog, but you should see the way he cuddles her; he would never admit it, but he totally loves this dog!
