Fun Times

 Addie celebrated her first birthday with close friends and family in the park across from the house known as The Walter Park.  The theme was Crayola Crayons — and we ended up wearing the crayola chalk by the end of the day.  A few highlights and pictures below.

Girlfriends birthday was hosted by Wendy Wong and Carmal Chrisman this year, held at the Wong household.  The theme was really cute:

Lounge &  Lingerie

The flower bowls were filled with cute party favors of Victoria Secret undies for everyone (what a cute idea!) — of which, of course, our group decided to wear on our heads…?  Other highlights included:

- fantastic food
- dashing Dana
- poems for Cori (including speeding ticket #4!)
- Rap songs by Codi & Laura

Fabulous Dinner

We spent Friday night at an amazing cabin in Stanley (definitely the way to go) and headed off early the next morning at 6am.  The race itself was fantastic: great teammates, speedy ladies (all but myself due to current conditions), good times and some fun stories (below)…

Celebrating With Us

25th Jun, 2010

Scots Bachelor Party

Scots bachelor party took the guys (and their ’stashes’) to Arizona for some golfing, chick-scaring fun.  Scot used to have a mustache in high school, which is the reason all the guys deemed it necessary to grow out their stashes to help celebrate the last few weeks of his singledom. 

From the reports we received, everyone loved the chester-melester stashes once they understood why they all had them…nothing like a group of guys from Idaho to really bring up our rating in Arizona!

Sarah’s bachlorette was in sunny San Diego.  It was a great time filled with great
women and lasting memories — thanks ladies!
Thursday night a few of us traveled together: (Nooner, Laura, Sarah, Danny and myself) 

Traveling to SD - Sex in the City!

Thursday night's rooftop bar

Friday morning we hung out at the pool and caught some sun:

First day relax session

Friday night we all dressed up and we to a swanky restaurant for dinner, topped
off by a super-swanky rooftop night club (we were featured on some professional
photographers website – yikes!) 

Our amazing hotel

Sarah rode the bull and danced on the pole...

On Saturday we went to the boardwalk at PB and rode cruisers…I took the
liberty to get a ‘bicycle built for two’

Hooked up w/ t-shirts

Laura was by far the best costume!

Sarah, Sarah, give me your answer true... I'm half crazy over the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage and I can't afford a carriage, but you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two!!!

Our Bride-to-Be

Congrats, Sarah!  Can’t wait for your wedding June 19, 2010.

Tha Latest Check Up

Also burned into my memory — this was Mother’s Day in Carlsbad, California.

Addie fell asleep while we were watching the waves

Jennifer Noone is riding 150 miles and raising $3,500 all in the name of her father, whom had Lymphoma Cancer and is a survivor.  We hosted the dinner stop on her ”Progressive Cruise for the Cure” to help Jennifer raise awareness and funds for her cause.  We were fortunate enough to work with Hayden Beverages, who generously donated the libations for our successful event. 

Thank you Hayden Beverages and Good Luck Nooner! 

Some pictures of the event:
