Lehi Round-up Week

Every small town in Utah has a special week were they celebrate being a town (I guess). Lehi has the round-up week. It is really fun for the kids because they have a ton of free activities all week.

On Friday we went to the museum and Porter and his friend Lilly took a train ride. Then they both got dinosaur tattoos on there shoulders and pink balloons.

Friday night was the mini parade. Audrey loved that they threw candy at her and spent most of the time eating candy and trying to join the parade.
Saturday afternoon they had a bunch of rides and slides for the kids. Porter was pretty brave and went down some crazy shark slide that was over thirty feet high and went through an obstacle course. He had a blast.


Finally, on Saturday night we went to the Lehi Rodeo with 6 other couples from our ward. It was a lot of fun. I think we will need to take the kids next year. They would love it.

Triathlon #2

This morning Eric and I finished a full sprint triathlon in Provo. It was a lot of fun and I did much better than I thought I would (except for the swim). I finished in 1:32 and ran 7 min miles. I was pretty excited, that's the fasted mile I've ever ran in my life.

Triathlon #1

Today was the exciting day for our first triathlon. We woke up to 40 degree weather and rain. I thought it would let up by the time the race started but it just rained harder and harder. We stood out in the freezing rain for hours to find out that they canceled the bike and shortened the swim from 800 meters to 500 meters. The water was 48 degrees. I couldn't even keep my head under water because it took my breath away, the water was so cold. I managed to do the swim in 12 min which is okay considering I thought I was going to drowned in the freezing water. Most of the timers didn't work and my run was not recorded.

I was so disappointed. I just kept telling myself we spend the money to encourage us to train. Which was well worth the money considering Eric lost 20 lbs and I got rid of my "mommy tummy."

We signed up for another triathlon for June 21st in Provo. We have to prove to ourselves that we can actually do it.

FHE Hike

On Monday night we decided to go for a hike. I guess that is one of the good parts of living in Utah, there are so many fun outdoor things to do just 15 min from our house.Audrey got the nickname of pig on the trip. She wanted to walk the whole time. If we picked her up she would start squirming and squeal like a pig. It was pretty funny. I don't know where she gets her crazy independence from.

Eric and Audrey with the beautiful view.
Meltdown at the water fall. Porter was crying because the water was getting him. He didn't take a nap that day and was super tired.

Memorial Day Weekend

We decided to go camping with the Deans. We don't get to see the Deans very often so we were so excited. The best part of the trip was seeing our friends, other than that it was cold and tiring. The kids had fun and I guess that is all that matters.

I found Porter in the cooler with a bunch of toys and snacks. He thought it was the greatest thing.
Audrey loved her camping chair. She would just sit there and swing her legs.

Porter had a blast hiking. He kept telling us we had to hurry and run away from the bears.
