Brynlee

I took Brynlee in today to get her 3 week photos in her blessing outfit.

Triathlon

I did the Spudman triathlon yesterday. This was the race that I have most been looking forward to, even more than the half-Ironman, because I wanted to see how much I could improve over last year. The Spudman was my first Olympic distance race last year. The good news is that I demolished my time last year, and I think I even beat all of Dallen's Olympic distance splits this year. The bad news is that the race wasn't quite the same as last year. They canceled the swim portion because of high winds --a lame decision because it wasn't that bad. The 25 mile bike was shortened to 20 miles, and the 6.2 mile run was shortened to a little over five miles.

I was happy with the fact that I improved from thiry-somethingeth last year to 15th this year, but a tri with out a swim just isn't a tri.

Sleeping

We moved Benson out of the crib a couple months ago so that he wouldn't be mad at Brynlee for taking his bed. I guess it kind of worked. He isn't mad at Brynlee for sleeping in his bed. He loves that she sleeps in the crib. He is even a nice enough brother to keep her company in the crib so she wont be lonely.

Full of Energy

What do you do when you have two boys with way too much energy, one tired mom, and one dad that needs to catch up on homework? The way I see it there is two choices. One, you can let the boys play in syrup and spread it through out your house. Two, you can send the boys out side and give them a hose and tell them they have to play outside until nap time. We did both at our house. The boys had tons of fun and were able to use up some of their energy.




When I went back outside to tell the boys they could come back in Benson came running over to me with a really full diaper.

Sharing

Brynlee decided to share one of the hats she got at the hospital.
