Happy Anniversary

11 years ago Drew and I were in the Virgin Islands gettin' a little married. I feel so lucky to have married my best friend. 11 years later I love Drew even more. He is my favorite person to be with, he makes me laugh and is the BEST father. Happy Anniversary, Love!

Iron Horse

The kids participated in their first Iron Horse bike race this weekend. No, it was not the full 47 miles to Silverton. It was a couple of laps on Main Ave. They both earned a medal and had loads of fun. There were kids ages 3 - 8 in the race and the skill level ranged from tricycle to full on road bike. Neither of our kids are very competitive so they just took it easy and had fun.

Holli is very proud of her medal.

There goes Dylan and Drew. Dylan's age group was a "parent assist" race so Drew ran along side him. Dylan was very nervous to ride by himself.

Celebratory bagel!

Good job!

Trials and Swimmers

We had a nice time biking the river trail today. Biking is something that we all enjoy doing together as a family.

While we were riding we came across a Trials Competition. We always enjoy watching trials. It's amazing to me some of the things they can do...jumping from one rock to another on just one tire.


When the kids grew tired of the Trials we turned to the kayakers playing at Smelter. We saw a couple of people in an inflatable kayak swim through Smelter. That was kind of fun. The kids kept hoping to see someone else flip and swim but everyone else made it through safely.

Holli watched the boater from up in this tree.

While we were watching we saw this guy on a boogie board. He was pretty good. I don't think this is something I would like to try. I prefer to be in a boat.

Last Day of School

Today is the last day of school. It's been a great school year and has flown by. We have met so many new people and have really enjoyed being part of the Park family.

Now, we are ready for Summer. Next week we leave for Florida. We'll get to spend a week with my family at the beach and then Holli goes to KC to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa. She is so excited! Happy Summer!

3 Billy Goats Gruff

Holli's class put on the play Three Billy Goats Gruff. Holli played one of the goats. This play was very important to Holli and she fully embraced the role of 'goat'. She found every piece of clothing she had that was white and she became a goat. Um...kind of.

I think Holli's cuter than a goat.

Goats are pretty cute.

Goofin off with Dylan.

Bones for Breakfast

Each morning the dogs like to take themselves for a little hike in the woods behind our house. This morning Winnie came home with a treat...a deer leg. She was very proud! I'm thinking I won't want any kisses from her today.

Pump it!
