Our California Adventure * 9/1-9/3

 Day 1....DISNEYLAND!


Waiting in line for Splash Mountain(a short 35min!)

So Chris sitting in front on Splash Mountain...not a good idea. It was summer season, & that means more water  & Chris got soaked, head to toe!! So wet hair and stretched out shirt equals Very Very Grumpy Chris!! Haha, Luv you Babe!

Take cute & sexy(notice Aryn's efforts) and what do you get....
mighty fine!

Day 2...Health Expo & Laguna Beach




Race Packet Pick-up...so excited!

Driving around the hills of Laguna in search for L.C.'s house...and sensing a lil frustration that we can't find it!! Yes, we are Team L.C.!


This water bottle was ridiculously HUGE! Just trying to hydrate before the big
Happiest Place on Earth Race!

Day 3...Race Day!!



4:30am...So Sleepy yet So Excited!!

Have to give Credit where Credit is Due....
Thank You Brett & Clint for driving us to the starting line. We couldn't have done it w/o you!

redbull @ 5:30, waiting in a corral like cattle & strangers(Jack) sneaking smiles into our pics...

All for this! What an Amazing Start Line!!


Go Team Pink!

Argh, Get out of my way!! Good, made it to mile 10 on pace & feeling great! Kinda...

Almost there...Almost there...And we made it!!
Chris in about 2hr.10min & Christy 2hr.12min

Out with the old, In with the new....Rose Bowl 1/2 Marathon anyone??

It's about freekin' time! LOL!! Actually I have realized in waiting for you to update your blog that I am pathetic in need to find more to do with my life! :)

Chris and Christy said...

what!?! I just freakin posted this!! I still need to edit :) And it's ok to have guilty pleasures! We all do.

Courtney said...

I was laying in bed last night frustrated knowing I spelt "freakin'" wrong...it was all I could do not to get up and change it! I know, I am a total loser!

Natalie Hall said...

Courtney you nerd. Now I am going to feel guilty or stressed every time I leave a comment thinking, 'Did I spell everything right'. Do you know how many times I have spelt things wrong when leaving comments. Or made absolutely no sense at all. Just kidding love ya.
Christy I am so proud of you for how great you did on the run. You guys all look a little to wonderful for running a 1/2 marathon. I guess when you run in California you have to look stylin. Love the pink tops. I am glad you posted all of those pictures. I know I love looking at a ton a pictures on peoples blogs, especially when all of the people look so great! You sure married into a good lookin family... When you and Chris have children they are most definently going to be hotties! So start producing.

aryn said...

That was one of our favorite trips. I'm so glad we got to hang out with you guys- you couldn't possibly be any cuter.

Why am I the only one ATTEMPTING the sexy shot- oh yea, yours was afterwards- a pretty good one if I recall.

Courtney- could you check my spelling for me.

Chris and Christy said...

Yes, if I remember right...it was Courtney that had a very good sexy shot afterwards , leaving even Brett speechless! Remember Court?? Or do you need me to remind you what you did...on my blog??
(I had to get out the dictionary for 'speechless', didn't know if it was 'ee' or 'ea'...did I get it right?)

Courtney said...

Christy nice pose in front of LC's house you only posted that because you look so hot... next time you need a "oops i'm in my bathing suit" shot, that way you can be like every other female blogger.

Love your fav bro-in-law,
Brett

Chris and Christy said...

Hey blogger Brett! I'll make sure to get that bathing suit shot when we go on our cruise in October. Or better yet, maybe I should just get Mark Mabry to take a picture of me in my underwear on a couch & post that...
And the real reason I put that photo on was b/c I looked frustrated & all you goons were peering over the rail in "search" for L.C.'s house...

Michelle said...

yea!!! I'm so proud of you and jealous in every good way!!
Aloha!! 3 weeks, 6 days away!!

Melanie said...

ok, not fair that you are like this amazing runner! You have inspired me to take up running, but first I need to find time to start running! Clark keeps me running circles around the house. So, when is the marathon, where and what is the exact mileage? Oh, maybe one of these days I will aspire to a 1/2 of a 1/2 marathon runner.

Adell said...

christy, it looks like you guys had such a good time. congrats on 2 marathons! you look great! that really is so cool. i have not been to disneyland in over 10 years. logans mom, little brother and I might go in november. i am excited if it works out. anyways, good job & i love the pink running clothes! you are like a professional runner now!

Allie said...

You guys rock! I am so jealous, I wish I was that good of a runner. You guys look adorable in your pink shirts too!
I made my blog private & didn't have your email. Send it to me and I'll add you!

I've always liked running and my life goal was to run the Boston Marathon. When I started training for a half marathon, I realized that it's a pretty tough thing to do in the Arizona heat... and the treadmill gets so boring after mile 4. I suppose now that it's cooling off again, I don't have any more excuses. Ha..

Anyway, congratulations! I admire you.

Jessica said...

O.k i would love to run the rose bowl marathon with you are you seriuose.i spelled wrong)

davidandsuzi said...

You guys are too crazy for me! What a fun trip! I'm feeling very lazy at the moment after looking at your marathon pictures.

annie said...

umm christy could you please UPDATE!!!

Jen and Bryan said...

Christy, congrats on the race.... you're totally crazy for doing that but whatever. Did Hill tell you that my cute hubby almost died when he saw you last time? I think his exact words were, "Christy's always been cute but... wow... she's smokin' hot!" I just laughed. At least he has good taste! ;)

I miss you :(
