triathlon number one

Scott successfully completed his first triathlon last Saturday and despite being really tired, we all had a good time. Kyle and Jamie were really nice to let us sleep at their apartment on Friday night so we didn't have to wake up extra early to make the drive to Provo on Saturday morning.

Scott and Kerri both did well for their first triathlon. Lorie and I were proud of both of them for finishing because it honestly looked hard. We were glad that they didn't drown, get in a five-bike pileup, or pass out from running in the heat. Here are some pictures from the event:

Before the race. They had no idea what was really in store for them.

Scott wouldn't let me post any swimming pictures of him, but this is my favorite of Kerri. She said that the swimming was the closest she has ever come to drowning. When she got close to the end, she just kind of doggy-paddled the rest of the way.

Scott on his trusty mountain bike. Although it is trusty, he will NOT be using it for the next triathlon. He could have shaved off a lot of time with a road bike. He may look happy in this picture, but he really wasn't.

When Kerri passed us on her bike, she said, "I have to pee!" And not very quietly.

Scott running by. He's too cool and focused to smile for the camera here.

And they're finished! Don't they look good for just having completed a triathlon?

So it was a great learning experience for Scott and he's looking forward to his next one on July 12. This one is in a pool, so no getting kicked in the head for him. And Kerri isn't doing this one, so she won't get run up the middle by an old man while swimming. Good job guys!

hello

So I guess it is time for me to be a better blogger. I don't really have any excuses. I can't say we have been busy...because we have definitely been busier. I think it's just that thing we call laziness. Here is an update.

I went to the doctor today. I'm now twenty eight weeks and feeling great. Everything looks good so far and I am just counting myself really lucky that we haven't had any major problems so far. Besides a little traumatic experience a couple weeks ago and a back ache every hour of the day, this pregnancy has been easy! We're now officially in the home stretch and I can't really imagine how I'm going to get much bigger. I feel pretty huge. Maybe I'll post a picture sometime.

Scott has his first triathlon this Saturday. I'm excited for him because he's been training pretty much every day for the past two or three months. He will do just fine. So everyone wish him luck and we're hoping that he doesn't drown in Utah Lake. Oh wait, is that possible? I think the deepest point of that lake is two feet. Right?

I had my twenty-first birthday a few weeks ago. How exciting! Yeah, I know I'm young to be married and six point five months pregnant, but I do things my way. So there. Anyway, it was a lovely day. My favorite present was something I still haven't received. I found out that Coldplay is coming in November and I've always said that if I had to die to go to any concert, it would be a Coldplay concert. So whenever the Energy Solutions Arena decides they want to start selling tickets, I'll be in line for sure. Oh and Scott also gave me their new album which arrived in the mail today, which I'm listening to right now. So far, so good.

Anyway, I think that's it for now. Scott and I are just living the dream as they say. Life is good and we can't complain about much of anything besides gas prices, and still we don't complain too much because it won't get us anywhere.

happy father's day

Just wanted to give a little shout out to my husband who is two-thirds of the way to being a father. So I think it counts to wish him a happy father's day. I am really blessed to have him as a husband and I know that he's going to be an excellent father. He is pretty ecstatic that he'll be one in less than three months. He'll probably freak out once he sees that I wrote even four sentences about him on the blog, so I'm stopping here. Except for that Tarisa tagged me and I'm going to do it about Scott instead. Here you go:

Four places he goes over and over:

• Work. He is such a hard worker and he hardly ever complains which I know is hard for him because it's hard for him to go to a job that he doesn't really want to have for a career.


• The golf course. He loves to golf and feels that it is necessary to go at least once a week because "it will help him in his professional life."


• The gym. He has his first triathlon on Saturday and I am really proud of him for working so hard to complete his goal.


• Home. He likes to be at home with me...most of the time...besides when he's golfing.

Four places he likes to eat:

• Miramar. It's this awesome ghetto Mexican restaurant that his family loves. It's one of my favorites too.


• Pappa's. He LOVES MEAT. Pappa's is another great ghetto steak house that is one of his favorites when he can't bum a quality T-Bone at Ruth's Chris off his dad.


• Happy Sumo. Scott can be a picky eater about some things, but he sure loves him some sushi. He introduced me to sushi and I love it as well. He'll eat anything they put in front of him which is crazy. I have my limits.


• Home. He loves my cooking! I love that he loves it. It makes me feel good about myself.

Four places he would like to be right now:

• On a cruise. He's a cruiser for sure and would kill to go on one at any minute.


• Anywhere but Utah. It's either too cold or too hot for him. I agree. This winter was unbelievable!


• Not at work. Every Sunday night he says, "I would pay anyone $100 if I didn't have to go to work tomorrow." He loves the weekends.


• On vacation anywhere. He loves to travel. He's also fun to travel with because he's up for anything. We've had some fun traveling adventures.

Four TV shows he enjoys:

• American Idol. I introduced him to it and he was a total David Archuleta fan this year.


• The Law and Order franchise. I also turned him on to Law and Order. I can guarantee you that there is always an episode of Law and Order on at any given time of the day. It's great.


• Anything that has to do with football, basketball, baseball, or golf. He loves to watch sports. Just like any other guy.


• I think he really likes the Discovery channel. He enjoys Deadliest Catch and Man vs. Wild. Those are also on all the time.

Four books he has enjoyed (this one was kind of hard for me and I'm pretty much guessing on all of them except the first):

• The Godfather. His all-time favorite book. If you know Scott, it totally fits. And he will tell you that the book is a thousand times better than the movie...not that he's seen the movie...


• The DaVinci Code. Probably mostly because it didn't take very long to read.


• I think one of his favorite childhood books was Where the Red Fern Grows. Which is cool because that was the first book I cried in.


• He'd probably say the Book of Mormon. And not just to make himself look good.

So there you have it. He's a pretty cool guy, isn't he? I sure love him and I can guarantee that he'll be a great father. So happy father's day baby!
