Cousins by Chance...Friends for Life

Just three days apart, I'm sure these little girls will grow up to be close friends. It has already been a lot of fun watching them grow together and I look forward to having a little built-in-playmate for our Wookie.

The Beattie Turkey Trot 2010

Tim told one of his co-workers to never have children. Why? Because then his wife wouldn't have time on her hands to think up things like a family fun run. When I first told Tim about my idea his only response was, "Are you smoking?" Well apparently I am. I love running!

Harrison, Troy, and Porter ran/were carried across the driveway in the Pilgrim Put. Kai, Alix, and Porter ran down to the end of the cul-de-sac and back in the Indian Run. Krista, Josh, Tim, Auty, and I competed in a three mile route that nearly killed all of us. Kai also participated in this run with a little help from Grandpa Bwana and the Ford. He did really well though and between running and taking a rest in the car he came in second after Auty. I guess he kept asking to be dropped off ahead of her, but in the end she was the champion. What a mean Aunt :) Finally, Suga Ma and Bwana participated in a mile walk, also known as the Turkey Waddle.

One Hot Night:The Fireman Ball

I think this looks like a classic picture. The handsome marine going off to war, sneaking in one last kiss with his girl. Woot Woot!
