Dog-N-Jog!

So since we love our dogs, and we enjoy a nice run from time to time (Jess enjoys them much more than I do...) we thought it would be a great idea to participate in this year's Dog-N-Jog event down on the Plaza. It was a quick, 2-mile run around the streets of Kansas City's most famous shopping area. The girls had a lot of fun seeing all of the other dogs out there, and of course they couldn't get enough of the running either! I ran with Bella and Jess ran with Ginger. Needless to say, all four of us were exhausted in the end. :) We couldn't get any pictures ourselves (they probably would've been a little blurry), so we left that to the professionals. There's a link below if you want to see us in action. When the website comes up you can type in one of our bib #'s. Jess and Ginger were 282, and Bella and I were 283. For some reason, every time someone snapped my picture I looked exhausted and my eyes are closed! Oh well, hope you like 'em anyway.

Jamaica- More cruise pictures

Well, it took a little bit of time, but here are more pictures from the cruise. We had a stop in Jamaica and it was a blast. The girls and guys seperated in the morning for an excursion. The guys went dune-bugging. As they were driving down the mountain, it started pouring rain which made their adventure even more thrilling. They were pretty muddy and gross afterward, but they had a good time.

The girls decided to go zip-lining on a canopy tour. It was SO much fun, quite the adrenaline rush. Here we are getting all suited up, don't we look the part?

Here I am getting hooked up for the long ride down...

... and here I am soaring. It was so much fun, I would love to do this again!

Fun Day with Dalton

My cousin Dalton and I spent a fun day together last week. Along with spending time at the pool and dog park, we also went to Deanna Rose Farmstead. WOW, I have not been there for a few years and it is amazing! Here are just a few pictures of the different things that we were able to do. Dalton and I's favorite activity was feeding the baby goats with a milk bottle, they were soo cute!

Just a quick FYI...

We just added a few more pictures from our vacation to the slideshow that we posted awhile back. Feel free to check 'em out! :)

Gardening

Sorry, no pictures this time. The weather was so nice this weekend that Jason and I spent a day outside doing a bunch of yardwork. In addition, my dad came over and we planted my garden. I have tomato plants, pepper plants, cucumber plants, and zucchini plants. Now, I just have to do everything I can to not kill them...thats always the hard part.

Some more cruise pics...

These are just a few of the activities the ship had for us to do. We had so much fun! :)

Vacation- Part 1

Well, vacation is over and we have had to return to the real world! We did so much and have so many pictures that we are going to have to post this in installments! Here are just a few pictures from the first day and 1/2 while we were in Orlando.

We arrived in Orlando around 4:00pm and after checking into the hotel immediately looked for a place to eat dinner! The concierge from the hotel recommended Bahama Breeze. It was very good and a great start to our vacation eating! Will and Kali Buchanan are on the left and Tyler and Lauren Cunningham are on the right.


After dinner we headed back to the hotel for a "quiet" night in of playing games, including our favorite, Catch Phrase! Our quiet night continued until about 1:00am when security came to ask us to be quiet. OOPS...

Sunday morning we woke up and headed to Islands of Adventure Amusement park for a fun day in the sun! It was a perfect day and suprisingly the park was not crowded at all. We had to wait 15 min or so for a couple of rides, but that was all.
Here we all are in line for the Spiderman 3D ride. I think this was hands down our favorite ride.

More pictures will come in the near future...this is just the beginning :)
