Auntie Monica runs 100 miles

If you haven't met Oliver's Auntie Monica, you should. This weekend the crazy woman that she is completed a 100 mile endurance run. She ran up and over a mountain twice! A lot of the miles she covered were in the dark while the rest of us were sleeping. Check out her blog for her story.

1st Camping Trip

We took Oliver camping at Priest Lake in Northern Idaho over the weekend. It was beautiful and a lot of fun. Oliver must not have liked the food we brought because he couldn't get enough of pine cones, bark and rocks.

Oliver visits Tobin

Doesn't it look as if Oliver just pushed Tobin over? "Oops, did I do that?" This could be the innocent look we'll be seeing alot of in the years to come.

Grandpa Fred, Aunt Sarah and Cousin Alek came from Illinois to see us

Feeling the Spirit

We spent the weekend at Spirit Lake in Northern Idaho with some of Anthony's college friends. We definately felt the spirit.
