Medieval Knights

Willy and Carol put on a really neat Medieval dinner for the youth of the church. And they went all out. Check out these sweet costumes!

Randy, Jill, Nick, and Willy served the food to everyone. They had soup in big goblets, Root beer, bread, whole cornish hens, grapes, and plums. Randy was the court jester and entertained everyone by juggling and speaking Russian. He even took the plums off their plates and juggled those.

There were also several neat Knight games. Below reminds me of the American Gladiator Joust. Whoever knocked their opponent off the bucket won. The next picture is Carol throwing the noodle through a hula hoop hanging from the backboard. She made it through on her first shot. Way to go Carol! There was also jousting on horses (scooters) but I didn't get any pics because my munchkin woke up. He slept in the corner on the gym floor for most of the night and it was super noisy, I don't know how he slept through it. They also had a Romeo and Juliet act where they voted on the best actors. T-Lo, I put this picture of Goose on just for you!
It was a really fun night and very creative. Thanks for inviting us!

What a goober

Baby Tripp loves to play with daddy. Randy can always get him to smile. And I think Tripp is camera shy. Everytime I try to take a picture this happens:

Our adventures

Our first adventure was Willy's company party at the Skookumchuck Dam. The first pic is Randy and Kyle going down the waterslide. The second pic is Ben, Brian, Randy, Rachel, and Jill at the bottom of the slide. Randy and Nick were partners in the water balloon toss and won $50 gift cards to Hollywood video. Then Randy took second place in the gunny sack race and won $30 to Hollywood video. Anyone up for a movie night?

My mom, Keri, and baby Tripp, Karen and baby Reese, Angie and baby Reyn under the food tent.

Babies Galore!!

Andrea, Reese, Tripp, and Reyn. Check out all of Tripp's cute girl cousins. Notice how Reyn can't keep her hands off Tripp.

Mt. Saint Helens!

The first pic was taken at the base of Mt. Saint Helens. The second pic is the tree line, which was the farthest that Willy hiked. The third pic is everyone at the top with Mt. Rainier in the background. Back row: Ben, Aaron, Randy, Sarah. Front: Keri, Steve, Nick, Jill, Tina, Karen, and Angie.
Jill laughed so hard at Randy falling on his face down the mountain(because his sprained ankle gave way), she actually peed her pants.

Thanks for coming everyone and thanks for the memories!Someone else has to plan the next trip(Tasha thinks we should all go on The Price is Right!).

Ai yi yi yi!

I've been training for a half marathon the past few weeks and was feeling a bit discouraged because I'm alot slower this year than I was last year. I figure it's because I had a baby 7 weeks ago and last year I had a running partner. But today I finally had my ipod and totally loved my run and I ran alot faster. I think I looked a bit mental because it was hard to restrain myself from dancing. But I did give in and had to dance to the "Ice cream and cake" song. I doubt I looked as good as Jilly Bean dancing but it was still fun. And I had to laugh when "Unfaithful" by Rihanna came on because I can just hear T-Lo's whiny voice singing -"The story of my life......." So hopefully I'll be ready for the half in October and be able to beat my time from last year.

Conquering Mount Si! The Preparatory Hike...

Here I am at the top of Mount Si in North Bend with Mount Rainier behind me. My friend, Josh, and I climbed the 4,167 foot mountain plus an extra 500 feet scaling the rocks to the "Haystack." I recommend this 4 mile trail with an elevation gain of 3500 feet to everybody(even though it made us really sore).

To the left is Josh coming down from the "Haystack."

To the right is a picture of the "Haystack" from down below where the wussies stay and merely take pictures instead of climbing up.

Flexin' my way to the top with North Bend down below.

Our trip

We went to a "fair" . Which only consisted of 4-H animals and food.

Darcy, Zelda, and Zayna in the pig barn

Steve, Zayna, and Zelda. Zelda wasn't too sure about the horses, but started laughing at this one when it started eating it's wheat decorations.

Obviously, "Sheriff's Line do not cross" means nothing to Zelda. She walked right under it and also decided to eat the tape that surrounded this Cadillac they were trying to raffle off.

Me and Baby Tripp with his Great Grandpa

Tripp with his Great Grandpa and Grandma . It took about 12 pictures to finally get Grandma to keep her eyes open. That's probably why Tripp is fussy in this picture.

Tripp and Grandpa

Tripp and Aunt Tera -who is 5 months pregnant and going to have a baby girl! Congratulations!

PS-Check out Tripp's Magnum face!

What a Stud!

I forgot to get pictures with Great Grandma and Grandma. Hopefully we'll be able to get them next time.
