Ever wanted to race the IDITAROD...

...well Shannon got to do just that - well maybe not the hard core Alaskan one but he joined up with some friends to race in the Keep Portland Weird - Shopping Cart Iditarod. What a hoot.

His team was dressed up like the TV Show BMS (football team) and the cruised thru Portland for 4 miles of running across 2 bridges while stopping at several watering holes. Here are some fun pics - on of Shannons friends had a fishing cart as well - you can see Shannon trying to catch one!! Griff and I went to send them off at the start and see them race across the finish line.

Fun with the cousins...

We were so lucky to get a visit from Brandon, Tanya, Madesyn & Kyla...we got to see the OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry), have an awesome B Day Steak dinner for Tanya, go bowling and check out where parts of Twilight was filmed. Griff loved hanging with the cousins and was so sad to see them go.

Happy Valentines Day

Mr Griffith had so much fun making valentines this year, he loved helping put the suckers in the pictures. But he couldn't figure out why we had to give all those suckers away!!! He'd much rather try to eat them all I am sure.

Happy Valentines Day to all!!!

California Dreamin'

Griff and Mommy got to take a weekend to visit The Leni's/Gand's in Granite Bay, CA. We were lucky enough to be joined to Allie & Adeline as well so it made for a festivus!! From the awesome breakfast, to the DDD dining adventure, to Pop Pop's BB Game and thru the Jelly Belly Factory!!! What a great time we had.
