the summer fire fighter olympics.

okay, so, i'm way behind on catching up thee ol' blog.

and now that i've lost my phone & a bunch of pics, i do solemnly swear, to post more of our days.

then i'll at least have them here, right?

right.

make me blog, darnit!

let's start with the summer olympics.

every summer, the ca firefighters host a big olympic event with all kinds of sports.

it lasts a whole week & everyone usually stays at the host hotel & has lots of fun together!

this year it was at the harbor in beautiful san diego.

tim played ice hockey (duh), roller hockey (double duh), and filled in for softball here & there.

here's what i want to remember in pics...

santa monica, representin!

our room view! pinch!

audrey lost a tooth. another vacation tooth! makin' that toothfairy work!

a lot of car napping for eden. which meant a lot of car-sitting for momma.

breakfast dates with a&e's favorite friends.

tim's grandpa & mom came to watch one of the games :)

this pic has a story (thank you, audrey, for this lovely candid shot, btw). when tim & i were dating, he wanted to take me on  a whale watching trip. i was so afraid of getting seasick, so he stopped & bought me some dramamine. we had some time to kill before the boat took off, so we walked around balboa park for a bit. well, long story short, we never made it to whale watching. i fell hard asleep under a tree right behind this pic. FOR TWO HOURS. darn dramamine straight knocked me out! haha. he loves to tell me this story. funny, tim.

the girls talked tim into renting one of these bike things. little did we know that IT WAS HARRRRD. holy workout people. but come on with eden in the front! ding!ding!

the prettiest sidewalks you ever did see. magical! i want these in my someday house.

we ended the trip with a day at coronado. perfection.

i honestly still can't believe we're a part of this fire family some days. it's still surreal to me after all the years it took for tim to get here. a lot of tears, and heartache, and waiting what felt like forever makes moments like these insanely humbling. God has blessed tim with this job in incredible ways. he gave tim the desire of his heart & we are forever thankful!

next up, a&e's birthday! (well, what's left on my phone anyway. boohoo.)
