Scotty turned 5 today. He now goes by "Speedy" and has been living in his Flash Gordon suit since before Halloween. The costume is wearing thin, but there are just some spots that can't be fixed. That's what happens when you live in a costume made of paper thin polyester. Library, grocery store, concert, bed, talk about getting your $5 worth from Goodwill. We are considering buying several pairs of red underwear to buy it some time.
We just returned from our road trip to Oregon. We went to Bend, Sisters, Eugene, Newport Beach, and Portland. Eugene, the place I thought I would love, is dirty and shady. Portland is nice for a big city, we rode the light rail and ate at a turn of the century "haunted" pizzeria that was beautiful. There is so much to do there, we didn't even touch on it. I wouldn't mind going back with a better plan. But we liked Bend and Sisters the best. I do not like their 55mph speed limit. It is also weird to not be able to pump your own gas. Newport Beach has nothing on Santa Cruz. I like my beaches sunny please. The rocky coastline was stunning though.
Cody did a triathlon Friday. I'm next. Jacob is now 8. I don't think the girl I'm doing this for even reads this anymore but maybe one day when her boy has moved out she'll have more time.
We lost our beloved Jenna at the beginning of this month. We went through a time of not knowing what happened to her, but received a call today and found out that she was hit by a car. She is the best dog I have ever had. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten. We love you Jenna.

Mike went skydiving and Cody lost his tooth in the skydiving truck, and yes, I do want to steal her.
