Our cousin Adrian got married today to a beautiful girl named Valerie. The wedding was located in a mountainside town called "Three Rivers" in Central California. The even took place outdoors with the sound of the river rushing by. It was really nice. We all had a geat time but unfortunately had to leave by 8 because my girls were too cold.

Car ride

I picked up the kids in Downey today and Julianna was in such a good mood. She was singing and cracking herself up in her car seat. She's a silly girl.

Sleeping through the night!

A little update: Julianna has slept through the night for the last 3 days!!!! YAY! Bedtime 7:30pm - Waketime 7:30 am. I feel so rested!

Yellow Belt

Today, Tamara had her belt testing and tested into a full yellow belt in Karate. Unfortunately, all I have is a video that I havent put onto my computer, so there are no pictures. She had to break a board with her elbow. Wow! My little girl is growing up.

By the way, Tamara received a really nice engraved wooden Karate belt holder in the mail. There was no name attached. Does anyone know who sent it?

Pasadena Marathon

It was an amazing day today. My brother and I ran the Pasadena marathon in some trecherous rain. We started the race at 6:30am and at 6:25, the downpour began. It lasted about 10 minutes, long enough to drench us. The race began and we felt good until about mile 7 when the second downpour hit us. We were drenched again. With rain filled shoes, we trecked on and I finished a 1/2 marathon in 2 1/2 hours. My brother continued the race and at mile 13, he got his third downpour of rain. He was SOAKED. We brought him some dry clothes at mile 18 so he was good after that. He finished the race in 5 hours and 2o minutes. Great job!

Proof.

More proof.

Im making the turn.

He didnt like that I was almost done.
