Trouble......

Silence when you have a two year old is not a good thing unless they are sleeping.....

This would be an entire BOX of kleenex tissues, some soap and a hand towel...all completely wet in my bathroom sink......
I need a nanny.....and a housekeeper......

Swim, Bike, Run

We did our mini triathlon on Saturday! We drove up to Wyoming and slept over at our friends sisters house. I didn't sleep at all that night, some nerves, mostly just sleeping with Louie. We thought it was going to be a 13 mile bike ride and 300 meter swim but it ended up just being a 6 mile bike ride, 250 meter swim and 5K run. It was a perfect first triathlon! Jason finished in 52 minutes. I finished in 67 minutes and Sally and Ben came in just after that. I would have finished a little sooner but I ran the wrong way and had to turn around and come back to the right trail, aghhhh! I underestimated how hard the swim was going to be. I trained for swimming and thought it was going to be a piece of cake. When I came in after the bike ride I was already tired and breathing heavy, I didn't wear my contacts and so I was blind as I was swimming and I forgot to put my nose plugs on. I seriously thought of quitting as I was drowning in the pool but managed to finish.....whew.... I got a stress fracture in my right foot from running too much (go figure) so I hadn't run for like a month. My foot did hurt a little but amazingly I did great on the run (other than my little detour at the start). As I was racing I can truly say that the only thing I was thinking as I was biking, swimming, and running was......
What the %&#$ am I doing???

We thought this was a funny sign...don't we just look like total athletes?? I know... I should have taken my helmet off for the picture but the race was starting in like 1 minutes, people were already lining up.....

Jason decided to do the race at the last minute, he swam a week before the race and never ran one time....go figure he would come in before all of us who had been training for like 4 months.

I must say I am glad that is over. We are still training, we now have our sights set on doing another one in September!! Wish us luck!

My baby is growing up....

We put Louie's crib away! It is a sad day for me....he hopped out of his crib and we knew it was time. He was pretty excited about his big boy bed. He has given up naps, but seems to be doing pretty good at night!

Family Reunion Fun!

We went to the Miller Family Reunion this last weekend! I didn't take 1 picture? I know, what is wrong with me?? We camped and played at the lake and had tons of fun (except for the first night when it rained ALL night long....)! The boys were in HEAVEN! I personally am glad to be home, sleeping in my own bed, taking warm showers and staying clean! I only have one more load of laundry to do then I am all caught up!!! (Well, that is if you don't count that I still need to fold all the clean laundry.....blah.....) Our theme this year was the Olympics, our family took 5th place (5 familys, yep dead last....)! Wahoo.... I think they might have been rigged.... we didn't win one event.... We got home just in time to clean up and head to the neighbors for dinner and fireworks! What a fun weekend!

Fun, Fun, Fun....

We had a blast! I watched tons of chick flicks with Jamie and ate lots of good food! The boys got to play and play! I got to see all my family up there, it was great to see everyone!

Me and Louie.

Pedicures...

We got pedicures while I was there. Thanks Jamie! I was in need of a pedicure in a bad way!!

Swimming....Swimming....Swimming....

We got to swim every day. The boys had a blast. Isaac was so proud that he could swim without floaties. Everyone who saw him asked if he was drowning....lucky for all of us he did not drown! Noah and Isaac DID end up getting swimmers ear. Lucky for me it was on our way home, I got to listen to them cry about how much their ears hurt the entire 10 hour car ride home!

Isaac and Jolie....

All the kids and me....
