Happy Birthday Daddy!

Saturday's stormy weather didn't dampen our celebrating Mike's birthday! Our first gift to him was some Candy Crush, a reference to the game he is addicted likes to play.

I think he liked it, but not quite as much as he liked the Obafemi Martins Sounders Jersey we bought him.

It came just in time to wear to Jaelyn's soccer game in the wind and rain. Her team is the same color as the Sounders, so they matched perfectly. Her team won 5-1, and are now 3-1 on the season, and playing strong.

Josh had his own celebration going on that night, as he challenged his fear of clowns at Scarywood. He text this picture of he and his new love interest enjoying their evening together. I'm dying to meet her...

Testosterone...

You read that right, there was a lot of testosterone flowing through two of my boys this past weekend. First, Joshua participated in the Pullman Highland Games. His team, The Brainy Brawns, took sixth out of 15 overall. They had a lot of fun, and hey, it was an excuse to wear a skirt kilt.

In action...

Josh is not in this video, as it's from a couple years ago, but this is from the same games he particpated in.

 

And not to be outdone by his son, but Mike ran his second 50K of the year. It was another trail run, but this time he felt better prepared, and it wasn't pouring down rain! This one was called the Baker Lake 50K. He took 18th on the course, but even better, he cut nearly 25 minutes off his run time! He forgot to take a before or after race photo, but here's a link to a professional shot that I'm too cheap to buy of him running the scenic course. And unlike the last race, he's already talking about the next time he runs one...
