Wing & Waves = Family Fun

This past week my sisters and I along with our families headed down to McMinnville to check out the wings and waves waterpark. We went on Monday afternoon which was perfect timing, it wasn't busy at all. The kids had a blast (so did the adults) Here are a couple of pictures my sister took. We don't have many because we were having to much fun. We will definately be back soon.

Shamrock Run-My 1st 5K

My Co-worker Lori getting me motivated before the race
This past Sunday, I ran/walked my 1st 5k. My sister Bree ,Step-Mom Darci her friend Michelle along with some of my friends and co-workers signed up to do it with me. I trained for a couple of weeks but wasn't sure what to expect. Let's just say i needed to train longer. My dad and his wife came up saturday night . We went to dinner and they entertained the kids for a couple of hours. Sunday morning Bree came to my house and we drove together and caught the MAX downtown. It was Bree's first time downtown and on the MAX I think she enjoyed it. There was so many people all dressed alike so I was unable to find anyone else on my team. Bree and I started together then she left me in the dust under the bridge with some homeless people but who cares she was obvisouly worried about her time. Overall it was a great time and felt like I accomplished something. I am looking for my next 5k run may one with alot less people and to next year's shamrock run.

Parker and his Bud Caden
The 9-0 Blueberries

Friday night was Parker's last basketball game, his team The Blueberries(Parker named the team??) had an end of the season party before the game. They had snacks, cupcakes and shared funny stories about their season. Parker's coach named him Parker" the spark" Castellani. Coach Spencer said that Parker's smile can light up the room and his positive energenic attitude is contagious. They went 9-0 and in 2 of their games everyone on the team scored, not bad for 5 and 6 year old boys. Here are some pictures from the season and a video i thought I would share. In his last game Parker scored 12 points!! Way to go Parker! Basketball season ends and T-ball begins

This past Monday Dustin, Parker, my brother in law Mike and I all got the chance to go to the WWE Monday Night Raw at the RoseGarden. A good friend of mine works for the Portland Trailblazers ticket office and was looking for seat fillers since this event was televised. I offered for Dustin and I to do and and mentioned that Parker was going to be jealous. I asked her if tickets were still available for purchase thinking i could buy 2 tickets and have someone take Parker. A couple minutes later she called and said she got two tickets in a suite for Parker and a guest. After a couple phone calls and emails, we decided that I go with Parker and Dustin and Mike got to be the seat fillers. I think Dustin and Mike moved once other then that they got to sit 12th row behind the ring. Parker and I were in suite with two other people a daughter and her father, then toward the end of the evening when the ROCK came out in walks Chrisk Dudley (a former Trailblazer and his kids. I knew who he was but was too scared to ask for his autograph but still managed to sneak a picture. He was extremly nice and kept asking Parker all kinds of questions. I had a blast , I know Im a dork but Parker and I had a great time. It was nice to do something just as mother and son. After it was over we went and met up with Dustin and headed home to get Preslie and tell her all the exciting things. All she said was"you not on TV guys"
