Miley has been caught in some pretty scary falls. The last picture she fell off a little bike she tried to get on and scraped her face all up. I walked into the kitchen and playroom to find her like this.


Our little Garden

I went to California for a few days and came home to this. Mason and the kids planted a garden with romaine lettuce, bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and broccoli. The kids are so excited to see the vegetables. It will be awhile, but we cannot wait.

What a Champ!!

Tate is the model patient for getting his teeth cleaned. They could not believe how well behaved he was for 2 years old. He loves to get his teeth cleaned. It is nice that they have not seen the other side of Tate yet. Ha Ha

My Father N Law Rocks!!!

Ok, this Mason's first post. But I wanted to share how awsome my dad is. First of all last November, he competed in the Tempe Ironman and finished first in his age group (65 -70). He finished under 12 hours, which qualified him to compete in this years Ironman world championship in Kona, HI. I can't quite comprehend the exhaustion that he felt.
Growing up He often would wake me up at 5 in the morning to go on 50 mile bike rides with him. So I understand the pain involved in riding long distances, but what they do is unbelievable. First He swam 2.2 miles in the ocean, then biked for 11o miles, with extreme winds and heat in excess of 100 degrees, finally he tops of the day with a full marathon. I am so proud of Dwight for doing this, it makes me want to compete in some thing physical as well. Go DAD.

Getting Ready for the race.
Out of the water he was 26th place out of 35. But during the bike, which he dominates, he worked his way up to 10th. He had a strong run and ultimately finished 10th in his age group. Not bad for 65 against the best in the world.

Congratulations. Sharon was there for him the entire race.

Conference weekend

Fall break for our school this year fell on conference weekend so we decided to take the kids to Utah and play for a week. We had such a great time hanging out with the kiddos with no tv and internet. It is amazing how much time we spent together and how many games we played as a family. We really enjoyed taking Macey( for her first time) to Saturday and Sunday afternoon sessions of cenference. She really enjoyed it and wanted to go again on Sunday.




we went to dinner with our good friends Frank and Jaime Caliendo. We sure love you guys!!!
