Lifting for Tanzania
It's hard to belive that it has been a year since Phil lifted with purpose for Tanzania.
He did awesome this year. His total bests were: Squat 281 lbs, Benchpress 220 lbs, Deadlift 424 lbs for a total of 925 lbs. I am so proud of him. Way to go Babe! Here is some video. On the benchpress, one of the judges leaned over to me and said "tell him next time to add more weight". I explained to him that Phil injured his shoulder in the Spring meet and he was just taking it easy, but yes, he sure did make it look easy today. Be sure to stop the music player so you can hear the grunts and the cheerleaders. Mark, Michelle and Peri even stopped by and saw Phil do his benchpresses and then I gave them the painting of Matthew. All in all, it was a great day. We both give God all glory and honor for the accomplishments of the day.

Tour de New River

It takes a lot of Sandford's to handle the balloons for the finish line.

Phil is 50!
Hard to believe but my sweetheart is 50 years old. It took a lot of hard work but we managed to surprise him with a party at home; with a lot of help from Jenn and Daniel.
I had Phil to myself all afternoon for lunch, some shoe shopping and a movie (it wasnt very good-the movie I mean). Then I told him we were going back to the house so we could change clothes into something nicer for dinner and that we would have dessert with the kids later. Shane called from New York to deliver his birthday greetings and to tell us how the band trip was going - it sounded great. Meanwhile, back at the house, Jenn and Daniel were working hard on the list of tasks to complete before the guests arrived. They did an excellent job - Thanks kids.What good is a party without friends? We had the Sandford's, Taggart's, Crum's, Rich's, Powell's with special guest Dylan, Cheryl Woodring and her nephew Dustin. What a blessing it was to spend the evening honoring Phil with close friends.

What a day for Shelby

Not only was this Shelby's first birthday but it was the first sit down dinner Jenn and Donald had in their new home. They made a nice dinner of Lasagne, salad and garlic bread sticks. It was all very yummy.
When we got home, there was a package from Great Grandma Mac. A fun cell phone and keys that make noise and music and a darling little shirt. Shelby liked them all instantly.

October Celebrations
I love October. There are so many reasons to celebrate this month; Ashley, Shelby and Phil in that order (not age of course).
We are so blessed for the family in our lives.

The Golden Gate Bridge
Unfortunate sign of the times.

Oakland A's
Over the Bay Bridge into Oakland... It was time to enjoy one of our favorite pastimes...
Baseball!
It was an absolutely gorgeous day. We caught a few rays and enjoyed the game between the Oakland A's and the Los Angeles Angels. The bonus was that all of their souvenier items were half off, so Phil and I both got new ball caps and we picked up a toy for Shelby.

We made it
We finally arrived in San Francisco. It was a little chilly but it sure felt good. 1st stop of course was Fisherman's Wharf. Since it was dinner time we had to stop and get a wonderful steaming clam chowder bread bowl from Boudin's Sourdough bakery. Phil had the chili. Mmmm yummy!
I just love all the interesting houses along the streets of San Francisco. Their is a beauty in the fact that they are all unique and not cookie cutter.
