My SpudMan!

This past weekend, we took the family on a very quick trip to Burley, Idaho for the SpudMan Triathlon! We got to the triathlon at 6 in the morning and me and the kids camped out as we waited for him to start and finish his race! Luckily, there was a little park where Riley played with lots of kids and Sunny and I sat on our chairs and read books.

Regan told me that he was predicting that his time would be a little under 3 hours so I was thinking to go to the finish line before then. Next thing you know, I hear Regan's name on the loud speaker, so I run with the kids over to see him which was obviouslly too late! I felt so bad that I missed him at the finish line! His time was great though! If he predicted to do a 3 hour olympic triathlon and got 2 hours and 22 minutes, that is GREAT!

One thing that wasn't so great is that a 60 year old man died in the swim at the SpudMan and I was right there when the scuba divers found him and they performed CPR on him! I was just waiting for Regan to finish when they brought him out of the boat onto the marina that I was by and I got so emotional! The swim in a traithlon is pretty scary since you are not wearing a life jacket. Anyway, I was very grateful and relieved when I saw Regan and gave him a hug after he finished his triathlon!

Summer Fun

We have had a FUN SUMMER so far! We went to Thanksgiving Point (Noah's Ark) with Regan's mom one day and the kids couldn't get enough of the water shooting out of the animals. Sunny was being so funny with her chocolate milk and lid in her mouth, and then Nana bought them a HUGE ice cream cone which they couldn't lick fast enough!

We also went to the Draper Parade and Draper Days, my home roots! It is so much fun to show the kids where there mom grew up and what I used to do growing up! We played so many games at Draper Days and the highlight was getting faces painted. I couldn't believe how still Riley and Sunny sat for the lady to paint their faces!

I still can't believe I did this, but my fun in the sun was a celebration of the summer birthday girls so we decided to go to Seven Peaks Water Park in Provo. Okay, the picture of all of my friends at the water park is slightly embarrasing since they are all so beautiful and skinny, and there is me...large and in charge! I was able to go on a lot of tube rides, the lazy river and the wave pool and it felt so good since I have been DYING of heat lately! What do you expect for being almost 8 months prego?

Anyway, I am trying to do as many fun things with the kids as I have energy for because I know that things will definently slow down once this baby comes! It is hard to do stuff outside with the kids since it is so hot, but I am trying to be that good mom that is fun and exciting! I have found that cleaning my house has been a very hard task! Bending over a lot has made me feel a lot of pressure in my lower area and I sometimes feel like the baby will just fall out! I need to keep this little one inside for 9 more weeks and then it can come out, but until then, I just hope our house will look okay!
