Good Times!

We have had quite the week! We spent 4 days last week in San Diego with our good friends, the Wrights. We played at the beach, ate out, and spent a day at Sea World. Pictures and details to come as soon we make it back to lovely Lemoore.

I caravaned (is that a word?) to Utah with the Wrights while Jason made his way back to Lemoore for work. We decided to have him ride the train so we didn't have to drive separate cars to San Diego. Well, he missed his train and ended up having to ride the bus all night and then go to work as soon as he got home. Not fun, but he, of course, took it all in stride and was able to find the humor in the situation. Poor guy can't take off 3 weeks to spend with family. Lucy misses him. She keeps saying, "Why can't he just come here and go to work with Grandpa?"

We've been here since Thursday and it's been good times all around. I've been shopping (without the kids), to the movies (without the kids). Lucy and Graham are having a great time with their cousins. We've got a family reunion coming up and a whole list of things to do while we're here. Saturday is the big race! YIKES! Thanks for all the well wishes!

We sure miss our Daddy! Anytime Lucy is upset, she thinks all would be well "if Daddy were here". Happy Father's Day, Sweetie! We love you so much!

Here we go again......

As of today I am officially registered to participate in the Cache Valley Triathlon this month. Last year I did the sprint distance and this year I'll be doing the Olympic. For the most part, I'm pretty excited. As some of you might remember, my brother and I did the San Francisco Triathlon, but the swimming portion was cancelled due to an oil spill. So, this will be my first full Olympic distance race.

The distances are: 1 mile swim, 24 mile bike, 6.2 mile run. Training has gone pretty well. I definitely could be doing better, but oh well. I dread doing my swimming workouts. It's just so boring. No music and no change of scenery. I feel pretty good about the biking, although I really need to get some padded shorts or a new seat.....yikes! Has anyone used the padded shorts? I've been wanting to buy them for a while, but I'm worried about running in them afterwards.

Only 16 days until the big day.

Pizza Night

Lucy loves making pizza with her Dad. It's one of our favorite family meals and is one of the very few foods that the kids will eat. We use Rhodes Rolls for our dough. We usually put two rolls together and then we can personalize everyone's own little pizza. Lucy LOVES pepperoni (her list of likes is EXTREMELY small, so it's strange that pepperoni makes the cut). She asks for them plain all the time.

Jason is so patient to let her bake with him all the time. I have a hard time letting her do much because of the mess, but he doesn't mind. I just love these pictures of the two of them laughing and working together.

Memorial Day Fun!

Last weekend we had a get together with a bunch of families from our ward. We met at the church and played games and ate great food that everyone brought to share. Lucy has so many little friends in our ward. This is Sophie, Charity, Karly and Lucy.
We played volleyball and kickball while all the kids either played or just ran around the gated area we have in back of the church.

Here's Graham chillin' out on the coolers with our buddy, Paige. We sure love our ward! We have such fabulous friends that are so much fun to spend time with.
