Triathlon

Brent's first triathlon started with a swim...

Last man coming out of the water the rescue boat was added relief ;). I'm proud of him!  He was hurting pretty good coming out of the 1/2 mile swim he thought he might not make it he was so light headed.  He got some Gatorade and oils and a rest and some encouragement and then he was off on his bike, 

We cheered him off on his run...

And then he finished they were last but he finished with a big jump! 

Proud family!!!! He got third place in his age group! :) he was in shock!

Free boat rides afterwards and cliff jumping and the girls playing in the water!!  Great day!  Kota had an equally great day at a friends birthday party, they went to Cody and went swimming and went for pizza and arcade games and ice cream!

I really enjoyed the day, having fun with the girls they had smiles ear to ear on those boat rides!  The most rewarding thing about today was supporting Brent being there for him and bonding over the experience.  He may not have been quite ready for the race but it was a wonderful feeling to help him and I'm so proud that he finished even though it was very hard and he wanted to quit or cut it short many times but he didn't.

Summer fun

Bristol and I try a selfie! ;) she is very interested!

Girls have been very creative this summer coming up with fun and creative games. Here is one I thought was super cute of the girls with an umbrella under the sprinkler. Paige and Dakota have made really good friends this summer.

They missed each other a lot when Kota went to grandma Nessi's for a week.  Kota had a blast feeding geese and fish and catching fish and swimming at the pond.  Of course she also got spoiled with lots of shopping and manicure and pedicure and tea parties!

Look at this lovely lady smile!!! Couldn't resist lots of pictures and fun laughing with her!  She is a great baby!

We have also been busy with activities... Cloe did volleyball and basketball camp and summer school, Dakota and paige did swimming lessons and the all did storytime.  We have also been doing school time at the house: Cloe is learning about birds and guitar, Dakota horses and piano, and paige Spanish and English ;).

Wonderful Lunch

We had such a nice visit from Rachel and Jason.  We had lunch and caught up and visited.  It has been such a long time since I've seen her, I hope I get to see her more often!

Family reunion

Brent's cousin has an awesome farm and lots of fun activities.  So we drove to green river and then over to Idaho for the fun.  Not without trial the van broke down and is done for.  It was quite a long day. 

We then drove to Idaho where we got to see lots of family.  His cousin had a huge slip and slide, red neck hot tub, pool, tramp and slide, four wheelers, wind cave, shooting, good food to roast on the fire, and fireworks.  We stayed at a hotel and swam in the morning.

We headed back to green river and enjoyed dinner at Darren and Brenda's new house.  What a treat! And what a beautiful home!

Lots of driving and lots of fun. Also FYI very proud of myself for keeping under control!

Hair found

Bristol is three months old and she has just found her hair.  When she's crying she will grab on to it and pull.  She's also found her thumb on several occasions.  She's started grabbing and playing with toys. 

 Today when I was holding her she looked up at me and she just had the most angelic look on her face my heart filled with joy as wonder and love filled her face it also filled my heart. Then Brent came to look at her and then all the girls it was also a wonderful family moment there was tons of love and closeness, it's those moments that just make you wanna go on! :)
