Mid-July, A Mixed Bag

Summertime, so much to do so little time. Wait that's not just in summer.....




My birthday surprise cake at the park with the moms and kids and me.





Of all the times Skye has gone to Jui jitsu with me and of all the times I've asked her to get a photo of me, most are blurry or of some one else. This is the one that's usable.

Yes I am getting choked out, but to be fair he outweighs me by 20 or 30 pounds and ranks two belts above(given that there are only 5 belts in Brazilian Juijitsu, that's pretty significant) but still.....

Ran a 10k last weekend with Theresa Haynes(home school mom to River and Micah and provider of aforementioned birthday cake)





Parking and traffic was hell causing dissension in the ranks




Running is fun!!!!
Note we are only around a mile into it at this point.




Race to the finish. Dude whatever happened to "Ladies first"?




I kept pace with Theresa for the first 5 miles and then legged it on the final mile.




A great way to start a Sunday




The All-Knowing, All-Wise Cici.

Beach days are here.




Skye heading out




And catching a wave





Out of like a dozen or so photos, this is the closest I go to having the girls look at the camera with eyes open.
Crazy kids!!!
