2nd Annual Holman Brother's 1 Mile Fun Run, For The Cure (the band.)

 Official fun run t-shirts

 Pre-race picture. We both look like winner's

 A pre-race stretch

Post race cool down, it was a hot day but we both improved our times over last year. Once Matt & Ty turn in their times we'll reveal how we did. It was a great success and we were able to raise nearly a dollar for The Cure (the band.) Can't wait for next year.

Demolition Derby



Toad was nice enough to take us to our very first demolition derby and it was awesome! There is nothing like the smell of exhaust and fried foods on a warm Summer night. We can't wait until we go again.

Sorry it has been so long!

Sorry to all of our loyal fans that it has been so long since our last post. Josh lost his email password so we were unable to log in, and were unable to post comments on other blogs as well. So luckily for you we will be blogging again and leaving our amazing comments on all of your blogs. First of course I need to blog about Josh's birthday April 14, 2011 he turned the big 31. So Happy Birthday to you!
Also as some of you know we just returned from an AMAZING trip to Europe. We went to Paris, London, and Rome. It was so much fun! We stayed with Matt, Jenny and family in London and they were so great! They were our tour guides and drove us every where. It was so nice of them to take us around and let us stay with them at their house and we just want to say thank you again! We had such a great time in Paris and London, but we decided Rome was our favorite. We also decided we will be learning Italian and going back ASAP! So here are a few pic's from the trip. I took almost 700 pictures in the 10 days we were gone so I will only be putting up a select few but if you want to see all 700 just let me know and I will be more than happy to send you a narrated dvd spending 5 mins each picture telling you all about the trip!
 Notre Dame is the first thing we saw in Paris because we stayed just across the stree from it in a great little hotel it was exactly what I pictured a hotel in Paris to be like so I really enjoyed staying there.
 Later we saw the one thing you have to see when in Paris the Eiffel tower it was much bigger then I expected. We did get to go to the top and I put that picture up, but it loaded after the next picture. So they are a bit out of order, but I didn't know how to fix it.
 Here is Josh at the Louvre Museum we did get to go in, and it was pretty awesome!
 This is us at the top of the Eiffel Tower it was pretty windy, but really cool cause you could see all of Paris.
 This is the Arc De Triomphe, and yes we risked our lives by standing in the middle of the road to get this picture.
 This is in England eating luch at the pub on our way to Fountains Abbey and York.
 This was one of our favorite spots in England it is Fountains Abbey. It was just some old ruins of an abbey but it was so pretty and just so fun to walk around.
 This was another amazing place in England and the only picture I got of one of us at Stonehenge was this one of Josh in his Canada jersey. It's a thing they do at his work where they take this jersey on vacation and take pictures with it on of cool places they go.
 This is Westminster Abbey in London you might recognize it from a little thing called the Royal Wedding.
 This is Big Ben and I liked this picture cause I also got a street lamp in it and it just looked so London to me.
Now we are in Rome at the Trevi Fountain. That was one of my favorite spots in Rome it was so much bigger than I expected and after I saw that I decided I am going to move to Rome and make a book of all the fountains in Rome.
 Here is a picture of where we stayed in Rome. We were in the orange building on the corner and yes we were literally across the street from the Colosseum.
 This is a picture of the outside of the Pantheon. After seeing this building we decided is just crazy how they were able to build some thing so big and have it measure and turn out so perfect way back in ancient times.
And one of the last things we saw in Rome but one of the oldest and coolest was the aquaducts. It was especially cool because we were the only tourist's there everyone else were locals. And trust me with our luggage and camera's and speaking english we fit right in. So like I said all together it was such a great trip and such a wonderful experience to see all of the things we saw. By the time we got home we were so tired from the miles upon miles we know we walked but so happy with the whole trip we decided we would take being tired. And we hope me can make out there again some time soon!

Go JAZZ!!!

Saturday Josh got some awesome Jazz tickets from work so we finally got to go to a Jazz game! They played the Memphis Grizzlies and had a rough start but pulled out a 98-92 win. It was a fun, and exciting game and our voices were a little hoarse the next day from all the yelling...but it was worth it!

Poor Sick Mao


Poor Mao got a small ear infection, and because of that he kept scratching at his neck. He was itching his neck so bad he got what is called a hot spot, which is like a sore on his neck from scratching it so much. He had to take an antibiotic, which in order to get him to take we had to wrap the pill in turkey,but when we did that he didn't even chew the pill he would just inhale it. We also had to rub a cream in his ear and on his sore to prevent an infection. The poor guy kept itching his neck so we had to get this cone and when he would wear it he had horrible depth perception and kept running into walls and doors and he couldn't understand that it was becasue of the huge cone he had around his head. Luckily he has healed nicely and is feeling much better but, I will admit I kind of liked having to put him in that cone it was pretty entertaining to watch him try to walk around with that thing!

Mao's Halloween

This is Mao in his super cute pumpkin halloween costume. He would not look at me when I was taking this picture because Josh was on the couch being very distracting. He said this was a frilly girl dog costume, but I know it was for boy dogs because Mao looks so cute in it, and I think he just wanted to look more manly in front of Josh.
 This is the first picture I took of Mao and as you can see Mao is just chillin in his costume he didn't mind being in this costume at all when it was just me around. I also like how this picture is with his long hair and the other one is him with his short hair after his new hair cut.
 This is a picture I told Amy I would take of the pillows she made for us for a wedding present, she just gave them to us about a week ago...but I do like them they go great with our house and as you can see Mao likes them as well.
