Training Update

He's been working so hard and we are so proud of him! He is up to 13 miles now...He's battling injury but sticking with it. Unfortunately I will be in TX for school and won't be able to be there for him when he crosses the finish line on October 4th.

Here he is with Avery after his run 2 weeks ago. He ran 12 miles...in 1:47:00. Billy still needs $340.00 to even participate in the marathon. If you want to donate, please cut and paste the following link: http://pages.teamintraining.org/sac/cow09/wgazzaway. I know many of you have already donated, and Billy is VERY grateful and thanks all of you for supporting him.

We waited for him in the driveway with water. Avery chased him down the street, then helped him stretch...



The more things change....





The more they stay the same......

Sunday in the Park









Little Miss and her Daddy went to the park a few weeks back.

Here's my loot.


I swear I just gave birth last week...and now she's this little, independent, sassy pants.

I love it!

Deal of the Century



In all it's fabulous glory.



We finally agreed on this 08 Accord LX-P. It was a steal. Heelllo gorgeous!

REALLY?

This is the part of my blog that I call "REALLY?"

"SERIOUSLY!"


"REALLY?"


"COME ON!"


"NO WAY!"


"UNBELIEVABLE!!!"


No one was hurt...except the Lexus parked next to the "Exploder". It got a little melted from the heat.

Why it spontaneously combusted is a mystery...

Looks like we're gettin' a new car.

Big Trees and Stuff

We went to San Francisco for the 4th of July.

Again.

We went last year for Sarah's Birthday. Then Nancy was in town this year. It was a blast, though an entirely different experience since we were in the city for 4 full days this year.

Billy and Avery came up for the day on Saturday. Billy went to the ballpark to helplessly watch the Astros get spanked by the Giants...it was pretty bad. The Astros didn't even score. While Billy was at the game, I went to the Airport to pick up Nancy and we went to the Farmers Market on the Embarcadero and then to Fisherman's Wharf. After visitng for a few hours and a quick nap, Billy and Avery headed home to Marysville late Saturday and Nancy and I ran the city streets for 4 full days.



Bye Bye Nancy

We went to Muir Woods and Sausalito, Golden Gate Park and Crissy Field, Ghiradelli Square, Chinatown, and Little Italy. We visited Haight and Ashburry...and drove on Lombard Street. We drove south outside the city along the Pacific Coast Highway...There isn't much that we didn't visit or do. Nancy said no museums, so we steered clear. Mostly, we just wanted to explore without having to stick to a schedule....



A stop along Pacific Coast Highway...



Freezing at the Bridge

All in all it was a fun 4 days. We slept until 1000, ate breakfast at 1100, lunch at 4pm and dinner at 9 or 10pm. We stayed up late, We talked a lot and drank alot at dinner. We wandered around and took tons of ridiculous pictures. I am so glad she came up for a visit. It has been since Kadin's funeral that we had seen eachother...and I think 2004 since she last visited us in Florida.




Buena Serra!



Billy was an awesome husband and took care of the princess in grand style while I was gone. When I saw her today, she seemed so much older and bigger. I just saw her on Saturday. How could she have grown so much in 4 days?

I just got a text from Nancy. She made it home to Dallas. Guess I should get ready for bed...I have to get back to being responsible and grown-up and go to work tomorrow....ewwww.

End of an Era

We went to the allergist this week.

We have both good news and bad news....

Avery is no longer allergic to wheat or eggs. YAY! She has pigged out on spagetti and ramen noodles already!! But, she is still allergic to milk and peanuts.

AND THE CAT...

So I reluctantly dropped Bevo off at an animal rescue this afternoon. I tried to find a home for him for a few days, but no luck, so I called Pet Smart and they told me who to call. He will NEVER be euthanized. They promised to find a good home for him. And I can call and get updates and they will let me know when he is placed with a family. And I paid them to get him his shots and to get neutered, since we hadn't gotten that far with him, yet.





Bye Bye Bevo.
Silly cat.
I will miss you.
