Helvetia Half and Drop Top 10K

Ben and I walked the Helvetia Half Marathon today. We felt so much better than last year, but we were 45 seconds slower. We walked 13.1 miles in 2 hours 58 minutes. I didn't need a medic and oxygen for 20 minutes this year. We improved.

Jeff ran his first 10K. He blew it out of the water! He finished 33 out of 946 overall. He had an average of 7 minutes 20 seconds per mile. He finished in 46 minutes. He did awesome!! We are very proud. He tasted blood and wants to do another, but train this time. I guess playing lacrosse five days a week isn't training enough. :)

When the Cats Away . . .

the mice will play! Ben went on a guys motorcycle/shooting/scratching weekend, so Jess & Rylee came to play with us. It was so much fun! We chilled Dunlop style . . .
PLAY+EATING OUT=HAPPY MOMMAS!
We went to Ikea, Out of This World, Rylee's Birthday, Sky High, Portland Temple, Deseret Book, Spaghetti Factory, Craft Warehouse, church, Seaside, Rock Creek Tavern, dentist, Fred Meyer multiple times, pedicures and the airport. That's it. Laid back and chillin', Dunlop style. :)

It was Rylee's 9th Birthday on Saturday and we did it up!! We love ya R.Y.L.E.E.!

We missed the rest of the Mortensen's a lot, especially Jeff!

Daisy (yes, official name) loved the beach and the surf. It was her first time out and it was fun to play with her.

Happy Birthday Lukers!

Today is one of my adorable nephew's birthday, Luke!! He's 7 today. I have a picture of him that makes me laugh every time it pops up on my computer screen saver. I had to share on his big day! Happy Birthday LUKE and I hope you are happier today then you were on this day.

Meet ???, Our Little Puppy!

We have yet to agree on a name; Zoe, Samantha (aka Sammy), or maybe one we haven't even considered yet. But one thing we all agree on, she's cute! We all want to hold her! We all fight over her. She is loved!

The Big Island

Oh yea baby!! Paradise with my sweet heart. Life is GOOD!

Chillin' on the beach. I read 4 books, he read 2. My kinda pleasure!

Pina Colada by the hour. Delicious!

Manta Ray Night Dive was amazing. A highlight of my life for sure!!

Someones catch of the day. 6 yellow fin tuna each weighing hundreds of pounds. Ben was salivating. Oh the sushi he could make . . .

A fun walk through a farmer's market in Kona. The avacados were enormous, but there was so much delicious food. You almost wanted a kitchen to make something in. Almost. Mangos, papyas, bananas, flowers, shirts, necklaces, all things Hawaiian. Fun times!

Mauna Kea beach-divine!!

North coast, Waimanu Valley. Black sand beaches and beautiful cliffs. Best Sunday drive I've ever been on.

Kona Hawaii Temple

It was a fabulous trip and I'm so grateful I over came my mother's guilt to go. We needed it and it was worth it! Thanks to all the gals and guy that helped out with the kiddos. They had a nice break from us as well. Thank you!

Puppy Love

I was just going to tell you that I will be posting pictures of our puppy on my blog: www.hannahadeline.blogger.com! You can follow me if you want. Hannah

What NOT to say to your dermatologist?

What should I use on these warts?

Doc's response, "Oh just let me freeze them off". He added a little beetle juice (South American beetle poison that blisters your skin). Few hours later + a few screams = painful, blistered warts.
