St. George Ironman

I woke up at 6:00am and rode my bike out to Sandhollow hoping to be able to see the Swim. I was able to get about a mile away from the race but didn't get any closer because I didn't want to disrupt the race. I turned around and rode back along the Ironman course on the other side of the street. I ended up riding about 20 miles on the side of the course and had a great time soaking in the Ironman fever that had taken over St. George. Ever since I saw one of the Biggest Loser competitors take on a Ironman, I have had a itch to sign up for one. With my dad passing away recently because of his obesity related strokes, heart attacks, high blood pressure, diabetes, (all of which are preventable)it just fueled my desire to push myself even more and do things I have only dreamed of. I read a great review of the St. George Ironman from one of the participants and thought it would be cool to share it. I really do live in one of the best places on the planet. Here is the link

I am a facial hair growing fool!

I won a beard growing contest at my work this last week. The losers felt like they were jipped so they had to doctor up a picture to make it looked like they beat me.

I'll bite your face off!

It's a Boy!

Not sure if everyone knew we are expanding our little family....but today we found out that we will be having another little boy! We are all excited to be having another fun and rambunctious boy at home! I am due Sept 6th, but today the Dr said that I was measuring large for my due date so it will probably be more like End of Aug sometime...but we will see!

RJ got the beat......sort of!

RJ and Zowie wanted to have a "Sleep Over"

(Morning of the sleepover) RJ barely got any sleep because "Dolby" had "Ka ka breath"....we ask her to brush her teeth all the time but she just plays dumb and ignores us. We still stress the importance of brushing with her but gave up all together on flossing.

Rj cleaning up the house

Yep he threw away perfectly good bottles of pizza sauce, pineapples and olives.  He must not like pizza much.

Look what I found......

I was cleaning RJ up after "Ma Ma" gave him some Mac and Cheese and I noticed something up his nose. We tried to get pictures of it all the way up in there but they turned out to blurry. "Nurse Anji" (on her day off) performed a little minor surgery. We told RJ that it might hurt a little but he said, "Da Da, RJ, Ma Ma GO GO GO" which means, I will be fine if daddy is with me but I want Ma Ma to leave so she won't hear me scream and freak out to much. We appreciated his concern and he self-sacrifice but since "Ma Ma' is doing all the handy tweezer work it really wasn't possible. We offered to go buy him some whiskey to deadend the pain but he refused and just wanted me to hold his hand and said, "RJ NO" which means, I won't move or cry go ahead and perform the surgery or it could of meant, get your hand off my head and get me out of this chair.....we really couldn't be that accurate with the translation with all the adrenline pumping in our veins. "Nurse Anji" went to work and about 5 long seconds later we had it out with no tears (just like he promised or didn't .....we are still not sure) We had to stick it back up in there a little bit to get this picture but "Nurse Anji" promised that he wouldn't be harmed in doing so and as you can tell by the picture he looks quite happy.
