Mason's 1st Birthday

On Saturday we made a quick trip to Portland, to celebrate Mason's 1st Birthday.

 Pierce was excited to see lots of family, especially Nana!

 The party was at a nice little park in West Linn.

 Mommy, Daddy and Mason

There were lots of presents to open, so Beckett lent a helping hand.

 Mason got a little help from Daddy blowing out his candle. 

 YUMMY!

 Once Mason's cupcake was gone, he tried to get a little of Beckett's.

 Daddy and Pierce

 Mason with his cousins

 The park had a water fountain that Beckett LOVED!

 Pure Delight

 Momma and Pierce watched from the sidelines and stayed dry.

Happy 1st Birthday, Mason!  We love you!!

Bunny Hunt

Last weekend when the boys were with with the Duvall girls, they went on a bunny hunt.  Here are some pictures and a commentary from Marcie on the adventure...

All ready for our bunny hunt.

 Sweetest little dog walker...such a big helper.

 "Hey, where's that bunny?!?"

 Best Bunny Hunter

 Caylee wanted a turn to wear Pierce.

 Very content in his new ride.

"Where did that bunny go?"

"Go this way!"

"Shhh...we must be very quiet."

After not having any luck, we came home to find this ceramic bunny on Uncle Steve's porch.

"Cheese!"

When we went to meet Mommy and Daddy at the finish line, we saw one!  A bunny!!!

Bath Time

Today Pierce used his new bath seat and no longer needs the baby tub.  What a big boy!

 Brother was excited to have Pierce join him in the tub.

 Time to dry off...

Happy Wednesday!

A Little Brotherly Love

 Hey, Mr. Blue Eyes!

31st Birthday

On Monday we celebrated my 31st birthday.  The day started off with my best pal, Mary, bringing over some yummy tea and donuts.

 Then in the afternoon we headed to the park for a playdate

 and cake!

 Followed by a yummy dinner prepared by Daddy and a delicious cheesecake prepared by Grandma!

It was a great birthday!

Barrel to Keg Race

On Saturday Grant and I participated in the Barrel to Keg Relay Race, with four of our great friends.  The race started at Harris Bridge Vineyards (the barrel) and ended at Rogue Brewery (the keg).  It was a 70 mile race. 

 Grant started off the relay race for our team.  His first leg was the most difficult of all the legs on the race.  He is pictured behind the hippie. :)  The hippie was pointing out the large mountain that they were about to run up. 

 Off he goes...

 Then it was Matt's turn.

 Mary was right there with her whistle and timer.

 Next was Cassera's leg, followed by my leg.  Here we are pictured at the exchange...

 Very excited to be running!

 Next up, Kyle!  He was VERY, VERY excited to be running!

 Team Captain Matt did a great job keeping track of times and making sure we all stayed on course. 

 Then it was Mary's turn.

 After six legs of the race, it was time to do it all again!  Matt took on his second leg. He was pumped up! 

 Then it was Grant, for a LONG leg (8.28 miles!).

Our team was sponsored by the protein recovery drink, Fitness Edge. Here is Matt giving a thumbs up for the drink...

 OSU Alumni

The girls all wore a little OSU on our second legs.

 This race was the most I have ever run.  My total mileage was 10 miles. 

 Throughout the day, we waited along the road to cheer on our team and provide water. 

 Also we had a little fun too!  Grant and Kyle thought that Cassera needed a bridge to run through. 

 LOTS and LOTS of time in the car.  It was 10 1/2 hours to be exact! :)

 Mary finished up the race by running over and under the Newport Bridge. 

 Our team at the finish line, with the barrel and keg.

 We ALL made it to Newport. 

 Afterwards the Duvalls and the Little Lundes met up with us at the brewery to celebrate the finish!

Go Team Fitness Edge!!
