Junior Olympics

This was the first year the boys started running track. They enjoyed it for the most part. It takes a lot of self discipline and motivation. Unlike team sports, it is considered an individual sport, holding the athlete totally responsible for their own outcome. It builds character :)

Jordan runs the 800m , 4x8 and throws the javelin. Pj runs the 400m, 800m and long jumps.

The boys qualified for the Junior Olympics held in L.A. They each ran in the 4x8 and Jordans team took 7th place in the nation. Jordan also took 6th in the nation on his javelin event.

2 in 2 out

Two go in, and two come out... together, the firefighter motto. We lost two of our brother firefighters on July 21, 2007 to a house fire in San Pablo. Matt Burton and Scott Desmond. Matt was Pauls engineer for 5 years at Station 81. They worked 24 hr shifts together. They ate together, cooked together, spent holidays together and fought fires together. Matt left behind his wife, and 2 children. Our hearts ache over the loss of Matt. Not a day goes by that we don't think about Matt, we still cry for him, and continue to pray for his family.
