Dog Mountain on the Columbia River Gorge

We went hiking with our friends from church.

















You have to have a dog to be a member of our Sunday School class (not really, but we all do have one -or two- and they all get along!).














The weather was really crummy...


















Me and my sweet dog.


















First hike post-surgery and she did very well. We were hoping to wear her out (the hike is STRAIGHT uphill). Didn't even phase her.


















Luke and I are dog (mountain) tired.















































We had a blast and enjoyed the beautiful day and scenery!

Father's Day- Putt Putt

The Evil Sand Traps... (notice a pattern in the next three photos?)

Cruisin' Sherwood

Next year we're bringing Jason...He probably would have taught us a thing or two!













Although my dad knows a little bit about cars too...

I LOVE my Uncle Luke!

Back away Aunt Kristen!! He's mine, ALL mine!


































It is possible she's all smiles cuz Luke looks like her dad... Well, at least that's what I told myself when she cried everytime Luke left the room....

Seattle Sitters and Sisters

Luke and I watched our nieces, Jorja and Gigi, for a weekend while their mom and dad gallivanted about Yosemite.













Silly Aunt Kristen, this is a crown for Princess Jorja, not a visor! What were you thinking writing my name upside down??

We think they put up with us okay.

"Wanna go for a RIDE?"

"Do I have to go to the vet again??"

















"Wait! That's Grampa's driveway!"

The Aftermath of Spring Softball

Taken right before....












Softball meets lip.

Spring Softball

Our biggest, well really, our littlest fans.












Luke LOVES this sport. We did pretty good in our first tournament. Go Beaverton First Baptist!

Memorial Day BBQ

Sadie doesn't care for PDA and Kristen doesn't care for getting kicked in the face by a wiggley dog.




























Sadie had a bit too much to drink...

We went horseback riding for Kristen's actual birthday!

Honduras Vacation- Ojo de Agua

Ojo de Agua is the town where Kristen served in the Peace Corps as a health volunteer.

Luke's Ojo de Agua tour guide Jasmin (3 years old).

Nano's family.

This is the family with whom Kristen spent much of her past time.

Kristen's host family. Seriously the nicest people.

We brought Jenga to play with her host family - it translates very well!

Honduras Vacation - Tegucigalpa

We met up with some of Kristen's Peace Corps friends in Teguc for the weekend (Angela & Sierra) and it was fun to meet their spouse/boyfriend.

El Picacho, which in Honduras is a Jesus statue, not a little yellow cat-like Pokemon character.

Parque Central Church. Kristen was always too scared in the Peace Corps to take her camera out for a picture, but they cleaned up the city since 2003. And I was with her and I'm awesome!

Happy 30th Birthday Kristen!

Happy Birthdays on May 1 (Renee 28), May 10 (Kristen 30) and May 15 (Shelby 25) *Not pictured Larry on May 3 (65). We all went to the Melting Pot for a combined birthday dinner.

Whidbey Island Half Marathon

They ran the whole way. I'm proud of her. 13.1 miles! I'm very accurate with the number types of things, not so much with the running types of things because I stayed home and slept in.






























Kristen says it was very hilly and pretty
