The front of our house a week ago when the snow started. Check out our lights, we are so festive!
Couch St, in the Pearl District of Portland. So pretty!
More snow, topped with freezing rain. Nice combo, especially when plows are nowhere to be found....Bueller? Don't count on salt, either, Portland doesn't use salt on the icy roads. It makes for a tricky commute.
Lucy LOVING the snow!
Brian is prancing around in the snow....with my shoe!

Jordan spending time with his auntie (that's me!)
Jordan and mommy Mindee. He sure loves his mommy!
Abby sure was a trooper this weekend with all the kiddies, people, noise, and chaos. What a good girl!
Jordan showing us his Elvis moves and notice the peace sign? I just noticed that!
YAY, Jordan! You are SO BIG now that you are 1!
Herrmann family clan. We are missing one person, however, Michael!
Ryan and little Tysen. He is so darn cute, and by cute, I am referring to Tysen. :) It was so nice to meet you lil buddy!
So many birthday toys for a big boy!
I am taking a picture of my bro who is taking a picture of me!
Gramma and Ryder. He is a spitting image of Ryan.
Jordan, I know you are a big boy, but you need to shave!
Sky view of Mt Hood from my seat on the plane. 
These are the brightest burning bushes I have ever seen!
Random picture of fall colors.
Here is a close up look of some delicious juicy goodness getting ready to be made into wine.
Us at the Domaine Serene Winery in Dundee, OR
Dad and mom calling to wish me luck minutes before the start of the race. Like my cheapo Target gloves? A fellow running friend filled me in on buying the $1.50 gloves (2 pairs for $1.50)and discarding when you don't need them-what a brilliant idea!
Please can we start this already? I'm ready!
And.....run! Me and 9,000+ others striving for similar goals, to conquer the most difficult race of all running races, 26.2 miles. We were packed in like sardines!
Still running and I must be having fun at this point, I am smiling!
Here I am crossing the finish line. I am wearing the white top, blue shorts and red hat. My name was announced when crossing. The real time finish was 3:47:34, my chip time is 3:47:05, which means, I crossed over the start 29 seconds after the race started. I was in the second wave of runners. It was the happiest moment ever when I crossed the finish line, WHOOP!
Did you know....the Portland marathon is one of the top 10 greenest races? It is tops due to its use in solar power, all finishers receive a seedling to plant, all aid stations are located to hose connections, and volunteers use bikes instead of cars on the course. Of the top 10 races, Oregon had 3 races in the top rankings! The Portland Marathon, a Portland tri-athalon, and the Eugene marathon. Way to be ahead of the earth friendly game, Oregon! http://www.portlandmarathon.org/

Lucy sunning herself. One might think that Miss Lucy and Mr Brian are lazy, but that is not true. The only time I can get a good picture of them is when they are calm and collected.
Brian using his soccer ball as a pillow.
Lucy running freely at George Rogers Park. She knew that water was close by and was determined to find it!
Attempting to take them walking, but they only had water on their mind.
This is what they were looking at in the last picture. A dream place for Lucy and Brian.
Big doggie, little doggie.
