Warrior Dash!

This morning Erin & I ran the Warrior Dash! Here is before the race while we are still shiny & clean!

We had to scale walls, jump/climb over hurdles, go through 4 mud pits (with help from fellow runners), army crawl under barbed wire, monkey bars (by far the hardest), jump over fire and crawl through a mud pit with barbed wire over head and I'm sure I am missing some things.  But we made it!  We are warriors!  Except when it comes to snakes.  On our way back to the car we saw a huge dead snake and started screaming and hopping and running away.  Some guys in the parking lot yelled "I thought you were warriors!"

Celebrate St. Peters Picnic

This first pic is at Fritz'. Oliver had a chocolate cone and it got EVERYWHERE!

Last weekend we went to the Celebrate St. Peters Picnic at Lakeside 370.  We bought armbands and were able to ride as many rides as we wanted from 11-4 and we took full advantage of the time.  Ivy loved the Frog Hopper!  She must have rode it at least 15-20 times!  Oliver rode it with her several times too. 

Back to the Frog Hopper!

Later that night we went back to the park to watch the fireworks.

Labor Day Pool Party

Check out Oliver flying through the air!

Of course it started to rain and it turned into a garage party.

Everyone invaded Chris' fish cooking space!

Ivy is showing how she can swim across the pool with no help!

Pump it Up Party!

We had Oliver's 7th "friend" birthday party at Pump It Up in August this year (after school started).   They all had a great time jumping, bouncing, climbing, wrestling & throwing balls at each other.

Oliver was the most excited about sitting in the King Chair!

Girls Day!

One Sunday, we went out to eat...just the girls and then we got pedicures!

This is what happens when you try to save your gum in your armpit so you can eat snack at school :(  on the plus side the best way to get gum out of clothing is hot vinegar & an old tooth brush!  You learn something new everyday!
