Can you imagine "Grandpa Sand"? Well, not only is this true, but his grandson just had his first birthday. Wow! Time passes so quickly. Before you know it, he'll be in school!

Ryan Timm did his very first bodybuilding contest on Saturday, August 2nd. He entered the Lightweight Novice Men's division ready and able. For being his first show and training for less than 2 years, Ryan showed extremely well.
His posing was smooth and sharp displaying great shape, symmetry and proportion. He was ripped to shreds at 158 pounds! Mom Tamra was there to scream and shout for her "little boy", as was girlfriend, Amy (all the way up from San Francisco). Stationed in Tacoma (Air Force) Ryan trains daily at the gym on base. Congratulations on a job well done!! You make us proud!

Holy Mackerel! I guess I really did it this time. I went and turned the big "six oh"! Wife Anne threw a great party at Paul & Kathryn's newly remodeled home. (Thank you P & K!) Friends and family joined the festivities last Saturday, the 26th, with food, music, cake, and Blue Hawaii's abound. Kathryn played bartender and mixed up pitchers of exotic Blue
Hawaii's while Paul played host and photographer and shot all these great fun photos. Byron & Jen drove down from Portland to have grandson Will entertain grandpa Sand.
Thank you to everyone for a great party, and for all the Home Depot gift cards! At the final tally, I was able to get the hammerdrill I really wanted (it was on sale!) Boys and their toys....
Again, THANK YOU to everyone for a very memorable day!
