I heart Carrie Underwood!

So for some reason everytime I tried to load these my computer kept acting up...so here are some late concert pics...Such a fun night meeting Carrie and with my honey! Great concert...Carrie sounds even better in person! Even Christian(who doesn't like country music) had a great time too! Look how tiny she is...
Sons of Silvia...one of the opening acts...three brothers...very talented musicians

Criag Morgan...very FUN music...Christian liked him too!

Carrie coming out of the stage to open the concret

Wow, didn't know she plays the guitar and plays the piano!

So cool...she was riding above the audience in this truck:)

Song with Sons of Silvia

Singing "How Great Thou Art"..WOW, gave me serious goosebumps

Her dress lit up

Showing off those fabulous legs!

Sad it was over...til next time...

Oregon Trip

Overall we did a really poor job of bringing our camera each day. We had a great time and did so much more than these following photos show. Hopefully we will do better next time.
Just getting started on our wine tour.

Wine tasting was really fun. And as you will see the wineries were beautiful.

This place was really pretty. Looked like somewhere you would have a wedding reception.

This is what property should look like. Mountains, pastures and grapes, the applegate valley was really nice.

Hiking on the trails outside of Jacksonville. We also hiked another day but we forgot the camera, oops.

Baylee did her best to keep up with the group. She was always so excited to go hiking.

Mt. McLoughlin in the backround. What a great view!

2010 Aiken Steeplechase

The Aiken Steeplechase happens twice a year and this year we met up with some friends to watch the races. Neat event and a fun afternoon but poor Christie got roasted. We should have brought the sunscreen.

This is the carriage parade. Just looking at the pictures will make you talk with an english accent.

That guy on the left in the orange and white was leading the whole race and then lost it at the end. My money was on the orange and white. I lost.

I think the guy I had my money on in this race was so far behind he didn't even get in the picture. Yeah, I wasn't too successful at the races. Good thing we only had $1 bets.

2010 Cloverleaf Duathlon

There was a local race on Saturday. I ran this race 2 years ago and it was a lot harder than I expected. This time was just as hard.
Just getting ready for the race. Once again Christie came and was my biggest fan and a great photographer.

Waiting for the gun...

Coming in from the first run and getting ready to jump on the bike.

This is after the bike ride. 10 miles of non-stop hills.

Coming in for the finish! The legs were burning.

Relief and a cup of fruit. This race was not as successful as last weekend. I finished in 1:06:15 and that was enough for 26th place overall and 4th in the 20-29 year old age group. Oh well, I guess I need to train more.

Hiking

One of the local parks has a 5K cross country course that we run sometimes and walk other times. The dogs have a great time sniffing everything and then usually peeing on it too.

2010 Heart and Sole 5K

Just getting ready to race. It was a beautiful morning but coooold!

The start of the race! I got a good jump but didn't hold it.

This is me finishing. My actual time was 20:15! A new personal best. The next race I will have to break the 20 minute mark. I came in 10th place overall out of over 800 racers! The finishing clock was a couple seconds off but Christie got some great pictures!

Addy and Lexi staying warm

The dogs were shivering some on the cold mornings so Christie and I found some clearance jackets at Petsmart and they love them.
