First Day of School

Well it's here. The first day of school. I'm less excited about it than the girls. Katie could hardly wait for the bus to come. Before she went to bed last night we told her it would be here today and she went crazy! She ran in circles for a second then took off to find her back pack and shoes. We had to disappoint her by telling her she had to sleep first before the bus would come. She was so happy to see it pull up that she ran to get on while yelling over her shoulder at me, "BYE!!" Not even a hug!! Oh well, I forgive her.

Alexys seemed a little nervous but she wouldn't admit it. Her first day in High School!! I am nervous even if she isn't. I just can't figure out how she went from being in kindergarten not that long ago to being in High School!! How and why does this always seem to happen to parents? Kids need to stop growing up so fast!! Anyway here are some pictures from this morning.

I love you girls!!! I hope your day is wonderful!

Giving her best toothless smile even with the sun in her face!

Off she goes!!!

A freshman!!

Beautiful, inside and out. Look at those eyes!

Craig's Latest Triathlon!!

Craig did the Rush Triathlon again. He beat is time from last year by more than a half hour. He also placed 2nd in the Clydesdale! (Men over 200 lb.) :)

Here are some pictures!

Enjoy!!!

I'm lucky I was able to get this picture. There are so many people in the water and they all look the same. I just took a bunch of pictures of different groups and then zoomed into see if I got him in there. I never did see him till he got out of the water.

Look at that guy go! Solid muscle!! He does look a little angry.

(That guy behind him got in his way I think.)

The biking took them out to the dry farms above Rexburg.

Lots of hills!
I had to pass him to get a picture. He didn't look to happy about the distraction. Or he could just be really tired after riding up the hill by the Temple. :)

This is the transition to start the run.

Love the backdrop of this picture!!

Here he comes around the track for the final part of the run!

This is a video of him running across the finish line.

The People saying names were a little slow and couldn't find his name at first.

This is his medal. He took second in the Clydesdale!!!

Congrats Craig!! I love you and am so proud of you!!!

Just the big girls at Lagoon!

Alexys and I went to Utah and spent two days at Lagoon. We are thinking that we might make this into an annual thing. (Craig doesn't know that yet!) It was good to be able to get connected again without all the disruptions of everyday life.

The weather was perfect. The hottest it got was 75 and there was a nice cool breeze both days.

Perfect!

We of course went and had our picture taken in Pioneer Village.




Alexys rode the rooster on the merry go round. I was on the zebra if anyone cares.

Our first and last ride of our two days of Lagoon of course was Wicked.

Great ride!!!

(I take that back we did the White Roller coaster first. That is a tradition. Always ride the white coaster first!)

We are on the back of the train in this picture.

The Wild Mouse is another of our favorites!

Alexys loves the swings.

Merry Go Round !!

We had a great time!!!!
