Ironman St. George

We took off for 5 days for St. Goerge. It was our first time leaving the kids for that long. We have left them one other time for 2 nights. It was hard on both of us but so nice to get away. Ricky did an Ironman in St George. We drove up there with Derek and a buddy. It was so fun to be a passenger in a car and just go along for the ride.

Before race day we went to the Ironman expo, movies, lunch (when traveling with Derek you really eat lunch about 4 times a day).

Ricky had a great swim and bike. The bike was on a really tough course. A lot of hills and switch backs. He got a penalty on the bike because they thought he was drafting with his brother and brother in law but he so wasnt. They just picked him out because he was wearing the same jersey as all the rest of the crew. That made Ricky so mad that he pushed himself too hard to catch up to everyone else that he made himself sick. Then when he transitioned into the run he drank a muscle milk and it threw him way off. He felt so sick. He did about 13 miles on the run and called it quits. He couldnt/didnt want to go any further. He had 5 hours left to run/walk the run but he didnt want it that bad. Now that it is over he does regret it but at that moment he didnt want to push anymore. He is awesome! He is amazing!

The kids were in good hands with Tori. They had a blast with her.

Here are a ton of pics. While we were there waiting for the boys to go by on their bike we Kristen and I ran into The Biggest Loser guys Sione and Felipe. It was so fun to meet them.

This was Jeff's first Ironman. He did awesome. One of these pics is Jeff and his Ironman trophy that Scott made him. So cool!
My favorite picture is Ricky giving the I LOVE YOU sign on his bike. He is so HOT!!

Averi in Journeys

We ran to the mall super quick one day. Averi was in some jammies but of course she had to try on shoes. check out the ones she chose.

Tysons Nasty

Kalis Art Display

Kali was chosen out of her class to have her artwork on display at a furniture store. She did awesome. Kali said it was a Japanese fan. :)

Tysons shoes

One day we were running out the door and of course Tyson didnt have any shoes on. So I ran upstairs to find him a pair of flip flops. This is what I pulled out of his closet. NOT ONE MATCH!

Trents Field Day

Tyson, Averi and I went to Trents Kindergarten Field day. Of course Tyson and Averi participated in some of the events with their big brother.

A Day at the Pool

We are members at Lifetime Gym. They have a huge pool area with slides like a water park and a beach front area for the little ones. The kids love going to swim there.

Tysons 4th Birthday

Here are some pics from Tysons 4th bday. Tyson is one of my best friends. He is an awesome boy! I love him so much. He is so brave. He has no fear. He rides a pocket rocket all around the neighborhood. He is so kind to Averi. He loves her so much. They are best friends. Tyson loves going to school. He would go everyday if he could. He loves to run errands. He is not much of a tv watcher. Some movies like Cars, Elmo, Cauliou, or Toy Story. Woody is his favorite.
Tyson is really one of my friends. I love to be with him. He is so darn cute and fun!

Tysons Field trip

I went on a field trip to the zoo with Tysons preschool. We had a ton of fun.

Trents Creations

Here is one of Trents creations. He loves to play with legos. He is pretty good too. All designs mostly involve an airplane or truck.

Easter

For Easter we went to Ellens for lunch and my moms for dinner. The kids had a blast. We colored eggs at Ellens. Most of these pics are Ellens house east egg hunting. :)
