Friday Fun In The Sun

Friday I got off work early and went to Timberhill's out door pool with Jenn and Bem. Its a great place for kids. The cute lil' kiddy pool goes down to 1/2 a foot. How adorable.

They also have a mini version of the waterfront fountain.
Emma's at this stage where its impossible to take a picture of her. She wants to the camera the second I take it out. At least she is smiling in this one even though her eyes are closed.

They also have a fun outdoor menu. Popsicles, shaved ice, burgers, hotdogs and BEER. I don't like beer but I keep trying to advertise BEER to get my husband to the gym. "Babe come to the gym with me and you can have a beer", that just doesn't sound right.


Emma got lucky and had 2 shaved icies... how can you say no to such a sweet face?! Especially when she says "peas, nu-nu"

Make It Stop

The last couple of days my half Asian eye has been twitching! It happens when I get excited or stressed. Whats going on?

I hope this isn't the begining of hemifacial spasms!

The J.L. Kelleys


A few years ago Pete and Phil Kelley decided it was ok to marry girls with similar names. So far it hasn't really been a problem except for the fact that our father-in-law occasionally calls us the wrong name(love you Chuck!), and Pete once got a card addressed: To Peter and Jenna but other than that things havent been too confusing.

This month:
-I got a call from Jenn's doctor, I had to tell them I'm JennA Kelley not Jenn Kelley.
-THen I purchased Jenn's Photos from Fred Meyer by mistake, once again I had to tell them I'm Jenn-UH Kelley. I wouldn't have minded keeping cute photos of Emma.
-And finally I discovered that I have been getting Emma's playroom charges at our gym?! I had to email the business office and once again tell them I'm JennA Kelley not Jenn Kelley.

Dear Jenn,

If somehow I get mistaken as you and win something cool or get an awesome tax refund I'm keeping it and I'm not telling you!

House Guests

Meet Paul and Zac...my house guests last night. These young lads are running from Mexico to Canada...yes running. They are running a marathon or more every 3or4 days with 1or2 rest days. With family/friend connections they have mapped out homes to stay along the way. Paul was one of Wubby's(cousin Caleb) old roommates. I was happy to host them and listen to their stories. It also motivated me during my, in comparison, small small 50min workout today as they left this morning to...well...go run another marathon!

Check out their website:

A Funny Weekend

Phil of course worked all weekend again but his early sunday am shift got changed to pm so we had an evening and morning together. First time falling asleep with someone in my bed in the last few weeks!

Saturday when Phil woke up from his night shift we made plans to go to the coast and relieve the dogs from this heat wave. As we started getting ready Phil got called into work?! I've been pretty tough this summer but this time I started crying...I can laugh about it now, its pretty funny. But it turned out Phil just had to monitor a pump at the job site that needed 24hr attention so I went with him!
So nice to just hangout and talk to my husband...wow! Oh and take our profiles.

Knife River was a Linn Country Fair Sponsor so Phil and I got some tickets to the concert that night..butt-rock, so loud and boring but fun to hangout with Phil's bosses. Such fun/funny guys. We hung out at the usual Bailey's in downtown Albany.

Sunday Phil got to come to his first and probably last Sunday Tribe at the Kirkbrides. Mark led and did a great job. We had a yummy burrito bar. For those of you who dont go to Dox our church community is meeting in small groups on sunday mornings and having our large gathering Tues nights at Avery Park. Its a really cool change. This is a deer at the Kirkbride's who host our Tribe, that Phil really really wanted to....put to sleep. Look at how close it got to him?

I was feeling crazy Sunday night so I went back to work with Phil. We stayed out there until about 6am. I was exhausted last night!!!!! But I still managed to have an impromptu bbq. I realized we haven't had people over allll summer with Phil working nights. Boo! But if people come over 3-5 they'll get a quick glimpse of my hardworking guy.
