Sundae Bar Extravaganza...

 Grayson wouldn't let Chloe, Tru, Rock and Josie come to his big party, so I recreated it for them...
 Grandma and Grandpa came too...
and the Tronsons...
and the Popes...
and we still have tons left over.
But that's not a problem.
 
 







 
Play Dough ice cream, mini marshmallows and sprinkles.
Life is sweet!

I always love to get pictures of my kids with the Grandmas and Grandpas.
It was my parents turn.


 I am laughing so hard right now....if you ever wondered why I'm a bit crazy, you probably thought it was from my Dad. I did too....until now! I love it Mom!

Grayson's SA-WEET 16!

Gray and his good friend Tanner decided to celebrate again together...
September birthdays...
meeting when Gray was 4 and Tanner was 5.  
We had a big party up at the cabin.
Jdawg and slider bar...chips and drinks.
And then a Sundae bar that kicked any sundae bar I'd ever been to, ok I've never been to one, but still.
The Murdocks helped make it all happen and made it fun for me and Hans to be there.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAYSON!!
WE LOVE YOU!








 









I owe him a bag of caramel bugles for all of his hard work! :)
The mommies! (And Hans is behind the camera!)

The Dirty Dash

 
Last year, my friend Jill, ran this race and put this picture on Facebook....
 
Seriously, have you ever seen something so fun?
We had to try it, and when I say we.....
 This is most of us....as the Singular Bars (Gray's idea), before the race!
Rock, Tru, Chloe, Me and Gray
Hans and Josie were the photographers!
 Up at Soldier Hollow in Midway.
 Girlfriends always make the events more fun! Kathy and Jill!

 Here I am fumbling over one of the 4 walls...
 Cracking ourselves up after I whacked Kath in the face....sorry girl!
 Crazy muddy hands from crawling through some tunnels!
 Grayson, Tanner and Cole (did the 10K with me)
 Truman (rocking the 5K....went under the walls on his tummy!)
 Rock and Chloe were champs and stuck together!
 Stud girl!
 Poser Murdocks....few people stop in the middle of a race for a photo!
 Truman, getting ready for the HUGE slide....they even lubed us up with dish soap for it!

 Coming through the last mud pit...
 2nd Place Overall in the 5K!  Way to go Truman!
 Rock and Chloe coming in.
We did it....6 miles of hills, mud, balance beams, walls, 50 yards of tires, tunnels, over 200 yards of thigh deep stinking swamp, a rope wall, a rope swing, a few mud pits and the huge slide... Kathy and I were deliberating if we canon ball or ease in....Canon Ball it was!

 Hilarious!
 The boys getting ready for their entrance!
 Front flips....Crazy boys!

 A little mud wrestling...

 I had so much fun and was so glad I got to stick with Kathy....and we met our goal...we beat Gray!
 The Dirty Dashers.....we'll be back next year for sure!

 Kathy and Rock headed to the showers...but this was most of us!
Our friend Alexis was there too, but we never found her at the end, it's a mad house!

 Tru's I heart MUD tummy sign!
 Muscle.
Me and Jilly...thanks for the inspiration girl!
