2008 challenge Yoga Pose:

Scorpian! I still have some work to do on this, moving the feet closer to my head. (Honestly fine with where they are at this point).
The group pic's are a Yoga Birthday party for our friend Veronica.
Notice my boys in the last pic compared to the girls...yeah, not so much into the meditation but all about jumping for the "volcanoe"!

Cornell and Gatchel Families on one couch!

These guys live down the street and we share many laughs, play time and beers together.
Bonus: They are OSU fans!

Hydro Farm

We are lucky to live a mile away from a Hydro farm. It is strawberry pickin' time and Stella refuses to pick anything but "pink" strawberries as that is her "favorite color" right now. Try arguing with a two year old that the red ones taste the best and that the green are still "baby" strawberries....The farm is fantastic and always supplies us with fresh veggies and yummy recipe ideas. john@hydroharvestfarms.com

Hoop it up!

"Tampa Bay Ballers!"

The boys are learning skills and drills and having so much fun. We have purchased a portable basketball hoop, which I think has become a big hit with the neighborhood Dads. Since we live at the end of the cul-de-sac, it's like we have our own court.

Soccer season

We are proud supporters of the Monster Trucks and Fire Stars!

Fall Festivities

Painting pumpkins at Whole Foods Market.

Amanda and Dave G. wearing their regular clothes to our costume party.

Zev the pirate and "Grampa Dennis" as The Rock Man comparing muscles.

Super Stella...so interested in looking back at her cape that she "flew" into a wall.

Creative Friends

My friend Megan from Portland made this amazing mosaic for me. She even tucked it under her arm as her carry on to get to me! She is crazy creative and I appreciate her use of recycled materials that she uses in her art.

Lyra, a friend from New Mexico made this gorgeous necklace. I honestly didn't even know it was her jewelry booth that I was drooling over...I was so taken by her work. Lucky me, to have such talented friends. I must say the pictures I have taken are lousy, it's more difficult than I thought to show case this kind of stuff.
