We Have A Teenager!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most people would cringe at the thought of having a teenager.....But that is not the case when that teenager is our Big A. He is an awesome kid and we couldn't ask for more... We are so proud of him and who he is becoming......


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIG A!

How To Train To Be An Ironman.......

First you get up at 4:30, ride your bike on a trainer until it is light and then get outside to ride for a total of 105 miles and then when you get back you take your 2 year old daughter with you to run 12 miles. Now that's tough!

Oh and I forgot to mention while he was working out I was bravely running my four miles. I know my abilities amaze me at times, too! :)

Socorro Chili Harvest Triathlon

Well, We had another fun year at the triathlon down in Socorro. This year we had a whole crew do it from M's side of the family. We had M and our three oldest A's, M's mom and Dad, M's sister and nephew and M's sister-in-law. Everyone did great!

M was 2nd in his age group and 7th overall.






















Big A was 3rd in his age group.




Double A was 1st in her age group. She was also the youngest competitor in the full triathlon.



Triple A was 2nd in his age group in the kid triathlon.





M's mom placed 3rd in her age group. And Melinda our sister-in-law placed 5th in her A/G.



And M's sister her son, and his dad did a relay and placed 4th.




While waiting for the awards the kids found a frog!

Basketball Court Complete!

One more thing done on our back yard re-do. This was a big one, too! Thank goodness for great family and friends who came to help with the pouring and finishing. What would we do with out all of you? Even my 6 year old nephew was a great help! M and I can't even imagine what this would have ended up looking like if it had been just us doing it.....EEEKKK, let's not even think about it. We can do a lot of things but cement work does not happen to be one of them! :)







Completely wiped out after it was poured! Even the puppy was tired!
My 5 A's set in stone!
