Who wants to join me?

By -

Last year in August I did a mini-triathlon. Although it wasn't the highlight of my year, I was really proud of doing it. This past Saturday I watched my sister, Juli, finish her first triathlon. She did awesome. It was such a fun feeling being there. I decided that I want to do it again. I want to do a sprint sized triathlon (double what I did last time). I found one in Pleasant Grove on June 13. I also found an 11 week beginning triathlon training, which is a perfect amount of time before the race. So, who wants to join me? I started the training today, which was only a 15 minute run. I haven't decided yet how I'm going to do the rest, since I don't have a gym pass anymore, but I'll figure it out. If you don't want to do this one, I'll probably also do the same one I did last year, which is in August. Whether I do the mini or the sprint will depend on how well I do in the PG triathlon. Any takers?

I'd love the cycling/swimming, but I'm afraid my knee is very much against running.

Want to cycle across America with me in a few years?

Chuck E. Cheese & Hannah's Arm

First, my apologies for the not so great pictures at Chuck E. Cheese.  I'm still trying to figure out photography indoors without a great flash. Man, Chuck E. Cheese has been around forever.  I remember going there when I was a kid.  In fact, I just remembered that I have a picture of my sister's birthday party from there.  I think I was 10 or so at the time.  (I'm on the right, my friend Katie on the left.) I'm pretty sure that is the very same Chuck E. Cheese that my kids just went to last week.  How scary is that? Anyway, Clark's brother had a deal for food and what seemed like a million tokens at Chuck E. Cheese, so he wanted to take my kids.  Our nephew was in town as well, so it was a good time for my kids to spend time with him. Here are a few pics from that night: Sammy at the wheel.  My kiddos with Uncle Andy and cousin Zander.  Zander, Kimball, and Sammy  Addi Joy  Kimball's really into basketball lately.  He...

Catch Up, Part 2

These events aren't in chronological order. They're just in the order of the way the pictures uploaded to the post. House & Yard: After four years of living in this house, we've finally gotten around to finishing the yard. We built this house, so we had to start from scratch. We were doing a little at a time. Every year when we'd get our taxes back, we'd do something big on the yard. This year we decided to bite the bullet and just get the rest finished, and I am so glad we did. We had grass in the back, but that was it. No fence, no playground, no trampoline, no borders, no patio. Here's what the back of the house looked like before: We knew we always wanted a deck, so we finally had our neighbor build us one. When it was almost finished, our boys didn't like to go out on the deck because their feet got too hot (it's west facing). So we decided to have our neighbor add a roof to the deck. We are so glad we did. He did an awesome job and it looks gr...

Family Pictures

The last time we got our family pictures taken was over three years ago when Sammy was a baby. Needless to say, we were overdue. Haley Warner took our pics, and I think they turned out darling. I'm just sad she's no longer taking family pictures after this year. Here's a sneak peek at how they turned out. To view all of them, you can visit our smugmug site :
