Road trip to Utah August 14, 2010

Nothing can be better than sitting in the car for over 18 hours driving to Utah...and with our luck we never make it there without difficulties! This time construction slowed us down and delayed our trip by a good three hours :(

The blurry green sign in the back said Welcome to Oregon

Michael Hanks's Farewell August 8, 2010

Michael had an open house today, he leaves on wednesday for Ghana and is super excited to be serving his mission!
I let Jenna have my camera and she went around and took pictures of everyone!
I wish you the best Elder Hanks, I know you will love your mission and have a great time :)

We got a sneak peak of Michael and Steven's video before he broadcasted it online "I want to have a mission call" it is hilarious!

Jenna and I were being fishes :)

Ice cream run with Natasha August 6 2010

Well on a hot August afternoon after helping Natasha's mom and sis unpack after girls camp we made an ice cream run! I think the car ride was more enjoyable then the actual ice cream :P

Mariner's Game August 5, 2010

Chas had to one up Joe and take me to Safeco field to the Mariner's Game! The game was pretty awesome we lost horribly but Chas and I did get seafood and were able to go to the warm up for the Texas Rangers but sadly didn't catch any baseballs and two kids got hit by them! :(

Chamber's Bay August 4, 2010

Well Natasha and I are officially insane-we decided to go up to Chamber's Bay and walk around the 3 1/2 mile or so walk way full of hills! We started out at our normal work out time and was surprised to arrive to FOG-you couldn't see in front of you-it was insane! Can you believe there is a golf course behind us?

Natasha is the rebel....she went behind the no entry point!

She wanted to make sure I knew which way to go! :)

I broke nature getting this shot ;)

Yes I can walk and pose at the same time!
