OfficeMax Special... 18x24 Poster for $5.99

OfficeMax is having a special- $5.99 for 18"x24" posters. I have a special software called "Qimage" that enhances digital pictures that can be blown up into larger sizes. This worked perfect!

People discussing the deal on fatwallet.com were saying this was just simple paper and printing. I disagreed and posted these pictures of Haley holding final products. I think they turned out great.

Oh, and the smaller picture is just an example of printing two 11x18 prints on one 18x24 print then cutting the pictures to be framed. Sweet!

Haley Back To Sports...Portland to Coast Run

Haley was invited to run the Portland to Coast run (127 miles!). This is a smaller part of the Mt. Hood to Coast run that had begun on Friday morning. Haley and her high school group started Friday afternoon and everyone finished on Saturday at Seaside, Oregon.

Haley ran two legs, both during the night. One leg of her run was 5 miles, and the other was 7 miles. That's why you see Advil and muscle rub in the picture!




Crowds at the Seaside turnaround on Saturday morning. The finish line of the race.

Haley Back To Sports... Tillamook Weekend for Cross Country

This weekend Haley went with other cross country runners to a weekend retreat at Cape Mears outside Tillamook. Not sure the significance but they all drank a gallon of milk and threw up on the beach. Must be a generation gap sort of thing...

Annie and Haley Battle Parker

Parker, our dog, loves to play. And if there is more than one person to play with he is even more excited!

Haley and Nicole's Family Camp in Tillamook Forest

Haley was invited to go camping with Nicole and her mom and dad. They headed to the beach but there were no places available. As they were coming back across the coastal range, they stopped at the bull run campsite and spent the night. It rained. Happily our little garage sale brown tent (with the new zipper) kept Nicole and Haley dry. The new tent Karen and Eric used didn't. Because of the wet sleeping bags, they decided to cut the trip short and headed home. Haley said she still had a great time!

Mike's 30th Birthday Party

When Annie heard that Mike would be turning 30 and that his mom, Lori, would be here in Oregon from Arizona, she offered our place to have a little celebration. Leanne and Lisa's families couldn't make it but Loni and John along with all the kids did come as did Mom and Dad so it was still a nice little get-together.

You can see the nice barbeque in the background. Parker had a great time showing his chase and catch skills. Mike was busy in Washington with his new house but after the cable guy got finished he made the long trip to our place.
