Almond Blossom Run!

Our 5K run!*@#!
Happy to have run a race with my hubby and friends! The crowd and adrenaline really helps propel you forward, even though your lungs and legs are telling you to STOP!!! I acheived my goal in beating Travis...hehehe...though not by much:) He's pretty fast for not training, or maybe he did and not tell me. Either way, we are both happy with our time in the race 26:17 and 26:29...not too shabby;)This race will not be our last, i think it has fired us to do more! I'm glad we have found something productive and healthy to do together along with our friends, (even though drinking, eating, and partying is always Fun too!!!) can't wait to get more friends out there next time and race to the Finish Line!

We warm up with Big Smiles!

The Gang's all here!

Thank you Ellsmore's for having us over the weekend! Jamie, thanks for the encouragement to run! Now, we are both left with anticipation for the next race! It's always so nice to hang out and catch up with everyone!

Superbowl Fun!

Superbowl Day was spent visitng Chico where Jamie and Scott hosted yummy turkey and drinks for everyone. The whole gang was there...but you can't tell that by the pics i took:) haha I realized i only took pics of the girls and the babies! Oops..no guys, there were too busy watching the game, or playing rock band! Too bad the Cardinals didn't win...but at least i won some extra cash! Thanks you guys! :) Had a great time spending it with the crew like always!

The Girls!

Tahoe trip

Travis and I took my bro to Heavenly for his birthday last weekend! I still fell, but I'm happy... no bruises this time! Yay! We had a fantastic time, it was sunny all weekend long, met up with a coworker on the mountain. Had a few beers, and almost fell off the lift (my bro dragged me down...it was hilarious!) But luckily no one got hurt. We went out to the casino's that night...partied, but lady luck wasn't on our side:( Maybe next time!
Can't wait to go back and get some more snowboarding in soon!!

New Years 2009!

Snowboarding in Willamette Pass, Oregon! We had a great time! I still have bruises in low places!! hahaha

All one really needs is a good couple of friends...some alcohol...and a board game, and that makes a great recipe for fun!! We surprised Travis' family for the new years. We were planning to keep it low key this year... or so we thought! The Kinyon's really know how to have a good time, and forget trying to keep up with them drink for drink...they each have two livers!!! Dan and Lacey were there two, and yup we party'd pretty good!! We danced, drank, laughed, lit fireworks, and played war with air-soft guns! We all celebrated the night away...save a few that couldn't hang:) My most enjoyable moment was tackling my sis-in-law (Amy) in the snow and making her my POW!!

Our New Year Faces!!

Liar's Dice....a cruel, debilitating, drinking game!

Gavin... up close and personal!

I had the pleasure today to meet a little man called Gavin; whom we've all been waiting for a very long time now! He's not the usual newborn infant you meet...he really knows how to make quit an impression! He hung on to me like a cute little monkey, but strong enough to lift his head off the floor, and not shy at all at passing the flatus! Therefore, he's a perfect little guy showing us already just how colorful he will be at giving his family much love, laughter, and excitement for years to come!

Samson's surgery

We took Sam yesterday to UC Davis for his scheduled appointment with an orthopedic MD for his left knee. He is "under the knife" today, and will be recovering in puppy hospital overnight. He will be getting a new ACL replaced since the poor guy was born with cruciate's disease that deteriorates the ACL ligament...poor puppy. Tomorrow Trav and I will be picking up little Sam from the hospital. I miss my doggy, can't wait to see him:)

Go Bears!

Last saturday... Travis took me out on a nice day to the Cal Bears game who beat Washington
48-7. We had great 40-yard line seats, 23 rows up. It was fun hanging out in Berkeley for the day, and drinking beer and eating hot dogs.
