Memorial Day Weekend - part 2

6 adults, 1 toddler, 2 dogs, an RTV, a cooler of beer and a bunch of mushrooms. A great day.

We work out

Something fun is that I had one of Vega's beginning Hip Hop teachers come and teach a dance to my class on an in-between routines week. We had so much fun.

Memorial Day Weekend - part 1

We took off for a much needed 5 day weekend over Memorial Day. We landed in Pendleton for our first night away and then headed east to Vale, where we waited to follow John's mom to their new house.

We walked in to be greeted by this furry welcome wagon (waggin'?).


The Judy kids' senior pictures decorated the room we stayed in. 

It's always fun to see what John's dad has in the old car department so I snapped my way around.  

We had a great dinner with John's folks and then took off to explore the countryside from the very fun seats of the RTV.

Monster in Training

This is a lot of confidence for something only 4 inches long.

Day 12 - something that makes you happy
A perfect Saturday. Laying in the sun with my ipod and a good book after a day of boot camp and a motorcycle ride. (PS: weird how my old broken rib is so much bigger than the non-broken one. I usually don't see it because my boobs obstruct the view)

Day 13 - mom
One of my fave photos of Steph and me. We've been BFFs forever and she is still my favorite girlfriend to shop with. 

Day 14 - grass
Time to mow. The beer weeds are getting tall.
Day 15 - love

Day 16 - what you're reading
Well, I started 50 Shades of Grey last week but since it is essentially porn, I don't feel comfortable reading it on the bus, so I switched books for commuting and will finish 50 Shades at home. Normally, I just like to read one at a time.

Day 17 - snack
Chow down, chipmunk. 

Day 18 - something you made
These sweet Derby hats

Work is fun :)

The subject of our office fashion on Kate's Blog...

and we still find time to get our work done. I love this place.

This one has a rough life

Day 4 - fun!
"Hey Kids, want to listen to "The Stripper" and Other Fun Songs For The Family? Let me get my boa!" Day 5 - bird
I had to lay on the Cabo beach for about a half hour with my camera at the ready to get this. Oh, the sacrifices one makes for a desired photo.
 Day 6 - you
Today. See also all of my FB :)

Day 7 - someone that inspires you
This charming fellow can simultaneously push me to work harder and make me feel like a champion, and he can do this for a room full of people at the same time. and obviously, he's hilarious. Day 8 - a smell you adore
The smell of a thunderstorm passing through the valley. Day 9 - something you do every day
Take out my contacts.  

Day 10 - a favorite word
 Day 11 - kitchen
The view from our work kitchen. Pretty easy to lose track of what you were doing when you go in to get your sandwich from the fridge. Not pictured: Mt Hood. My camera couldn't even fit the whole view in.

Dance beers

After dance last night, a few students and I trotted over to the nearby bar and shared a couple pitchers of beer.  I hadn't realized how fancy I looked from behind until one of them point out my matching shorts and purse.

We had such a great time. I came home with sore abs and really wish I could have attributed them to my workout but honestly, it was from all the laughing afterwards.
