We are still in Canada so more detailed posts will come when we return to the States, but I wanted to post two pictures from our zipline adventure. G seems to enjoy it much more than I do! :)

Happy Birthday Mary Stuart!
Happy Birthday to my youngest niece on my side of the family! It has been a while since we posted. So happy belated birthday also to my brother.
We have been busy helping my mother in law and sister in law with their cupcake business- it has been fun to spend Saturdays at the Farmer's market and see some familiar faces from around Louisville. We sell out every week so it is quite busy.
Hana has decided now that we don't live near the beach that she quite likes splashing in water so I bought her a baby pool. It is a great tool to wear her out, entertain herself and keep her cool in the heat of the summer- she has not adapted to this humidity.
G is busy with his road show and I am going to help this next week - we are traveling to Seattle and then crossing the border to Vancouver. We will also spend a few days in Whistler where G hopes to do some serious mountain biking. We have had some interesting wildlife events the last few days- last week a bird was stuck in the garage, then on Monday, G had to save a baby possum who had gotten his head and front legs stuck in a cup. This morning when I went to walk Hana in the park behind the house, I ran into a coyote! I was shocked to see one in a suburban area because I have never even see them when hiking out west. I feel sorry for it if it is hungry but I am concerned about all the pets that could be potential victims- the coyote was not phased by me, Hana or my big purple umbrella!

Happy Mom's Day & Happy Birthday Cara!!
So much has been going on lately that we haven't had time to post. First many belated birthday wishes to G. Paul! I think he had a great birthday even if I missed a post.
Last week my brother brought two of my nieces to visit and my parents joined us as well. It was so fun to see Tripp's personality and Mary Stuart's following right along in Tripp's footsteps. Friday night we celebrated G's birthday with all three of our nieces and families for dinner at W W Cousins- we tried to get pictures of all the girls together and I will post them as soon as I am able but most are blurry because a 4 year old and 2 two-year olds don't stand still long! Finally Lane arrived on Saturday so we got to spend some time with him- he is so tall, I couldn't believe it.
G got to go to Derby for this birthday and we had a blast. The weather wasn't great but we made the most of it- although no one had the winner. We did see a few celebrities- Brooke Shields, Valerie Bertinelli, Michael Jordan and Aretha Franklin! Then we went to his parents to have dinner and cake after a long day.
Since then I have been working some and thankfully G has been home because after 3 weeks on the road, he was home sick. Hana did really well with the kids and today we went to the dog park where she proceeded to hop in and out of the tub of water- then go right to wipe it all off by rolling in the dirt and grass. I think we will have to get her a pool this summer to keep her cool and busy.
Pictures will be coming soon...

Happy Belated Birthday Mom!
It has been a busy week to say the least so forgive me that I was unable to post yesterday and wish my mom a very happy birthday. Of course I was visiting with her so that should make up for it!
It is hard to believe a week ago today we were leaving Hawaii and headed to Phoenix. Our time on Oahu was very hectic with G working and my feeble attempts to help him set up and take down all his equipment for training and shows on Thurs. and Friday. I also discovered that someone had been in our hotel room, stole cash from my wallet and made long distance phone calls. It is very scary to know someone was looking through your things- so far it does not appear they did anything else but calls to the credit card companies were made just to be safe.
Our last night was spent in West Oahu at the same hotel we spent the first night of our honeymoon. We lounged by the pool all day to soak up our last full day in Hawaii. We had one more dinner at Roy's and all was delicious as usual!
Sadly when we got ready to board the plane last Sunday we received a phone call telling us that a colleague of G's, who are friends we have been fortunate to travel with and get to know their family, had lost their 19 year old son in a car accident. We were sickened and heart broken for them but it always makes you appreciate every day you have even more. G left his events in Vegas to be with them at the funeral in New Orleans. So he is due home any minute now for the first time in 3 weeks! Hana will be so excited to see her daddy dog.
The Derby festivities have begun and since we have not been home for this in quite some time we are hoping to enjoy a few of them. Perhaps tomorrow at the Chow Wagon where dogs are allowed to join!
