Vegas 2007




Ahh Vegas, there is nothing like it...literally. Just spent the weekend with my closest girlfriend Korie Lynn, who just turned 30 yesterday. We ate and layed by the pool and laughed. We met a few interesting people along the way, like a photographer, a magician, matchmaker, a weirdo or too, but HIGHLY entertaining to say the least.


We stayed at the Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa, and it was Fabulous to say the least. Here are some pictures so that you can see the sights as we did.

Half Marathon...I did it (barely)


I attempted my first race on Sept 1st. Did I mention I am only on an internship for running and I don't quite consider myself a runner just yet, and I am not sure about ever. But since I am running a marathon in one month from today, I better start acting like I am. It took me nearly three hours to finish (finished 2nd to last) the 13.1 mile trek, just me and Phil (who I met at the race) he was 71 and had a stroke 6 months ago, and he ended up finishing before me, I am still laughing about that one. needless to say ,now that I know what NOT to do for the real one, I consider it a learning experience and hope my Dad realizes this sacrifice for him.

Labor Day Weekend



We decided to visit Kacie and Tyler in H E double hockey sticks...i say that because it was 121 on Sunday. They have a cute place and it was fun to spend the time with them. Hannah and Savie wore eachother out. And Blake is so creative with his fruit by the foot, he made the time go by in the car.

The Lake is Great



We hung out at the lake for a day with just us...it was Abby's first experience there and it was a bonding experience, she jumped in the water than swam right back out, she seemed to like the rocks on the shore the best. Then she slept like a baby on the boat while Blake and I wakeboarded. Blake can go around the lake forever, I am getting better, I guess training for the marathon has had some benefits.

Balboa Island Fun Zone


We got to go to Balboa island, while we were in California and meet up with my good friend "Mags" there. It had been a long time...we rode the ferris wheel, Hannah did the carousal of course, we played in the arcade ate some lunch and had cold stone. Blake got to try the bungee jump on the trampoline, everyday I am realizing how old that kid truly is.

Orange County Fair


We got to go to the fair and experience the fair, Hannah LOVES carousals and wishes she could have a real horse...don't worry she tried out both there.

This is the end...my friend (of summer) a recap to 2007


We got to go visit David in his new place down in San Clemente, we got to hang out with Grandpa Sam, Uncle Sammy, Ashleigh and of course Khia. We went to the beach hung out and had smores.
