the boys

A few pictures of the ever-growing boys...
Luke picked the location, Miles was only happy sitting in the extremely dirty tractor wheel, and I got to try out my new lens - the newest member of our family, who came weighing 2.1 lbs, and is 5 inches long. I have named him Herbert.

*In case you were curious, the name Herbert means "illustrious warrior". Very fitting, and yes I am a self proclaimed a dork.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game...


I started this post a while ago and forgot about it, and as you can see, Larry King looks way too old for me NOT to post, so here it is.

On our trip to LA this summer, I experienced two great American past times: baseball and eating. This was seriously better than Disneyland (and I love Disneyland). We got tickets for 2 nights, and after the first VIP trip to Chavez Ravine, I felt like a little kid the night before Christmas who can't sleep because I was excited! Before the game, we got to hang out in the dugout club, and eat. They had the best grilled eggplant. After that, you watch the game, and eat. You have a waiter who brings you whatever you want: pretzels, dodger dogs, diet cokes, bases loaded nachos, frozen yogurt, BBQ brisket Panini's (I got all of these). Needless to say, I can hold my food. I also discovered if you wear a hat really low and walk with purpose, people think you might be a celebrity, and they are really nice to you. Some of the celebs we sat near were: Larry King, Mary Hart (is she from Entertainment Tonight?) president Palmer aka, the allstate commercial guy (Travis gave him a high-5 while greating him with an "El Presidente"), and Mr. Big from Sex in the City.

Rated "R" Post

This post is rated "R" for Relative. If you are not related to me, you probably don't care about what I have posted. With that said, here is Luke dancing to his favorite song. This kid can move! Next stop, a Missy Elliot music video...

An inaugural weekend

This weekend was a weekend of firsts.

1st RedRock Relay

(I'm testing out one of the 36 exchanges, and just in case you are wondering, I have been seeing those orange barricades in my sleep for the past few days)

1st energy drink...with a mountain dew chaser

1st time I slept 2 hours in 2 days. I slept from 3am-5am Thursday night, and not a wink on Friday night. I finally got some shut eye at about 3pm on Saturday.


1st In-and-Out burger in Utah. I still think their fries are gross, but it's probably because I don't like potatoes, rice, or anything starchy.

1st time in years that I saw my friend Carrie Walker. I went over to ask a running team a question, and who should turn around to answer? Carrie. Way cool girl - it made my day to see her.

1st time I was mistaken for Vince Neil. My hair was awesome.

1st time I considered a carrier in construction. I was a pro with the cordless drill.
