St. George

Last weekend we went to St. George so Erik could run a race and so we could enjoy some nice weather. The boys cannot get enough of the water. Kire is such a great swimmer and Jack is fearless. Jack just jumps in, he doesn't care that he can't swim.
Our family has been participating in the St. George triathlon for 3 years now. Our brother in law Brad was in the air force and was killed in a place crash a week before he was going to be doing this race. So now we all try to participate to honor him. Erik's team won first place in the relays.
And in other news, we cut Jacks darling curly hair into a mohawk that fits his wild personality.

Anual girls trip 2011

Alicia, Lindsey & me

Me and my girlfriends took a much needed trip away from our kids last weekend to the sunny St. George. It was so wonderful to relax shop, eat, talk and enjoy some sunshine. I am so grateful to have good girlfriends.

Here we are hiking Zions. I was impressed with my 7 mo pregnant self.

I love my boys more than anything and taking some time away always makes me appreciate them more. Erik is such a great dad, so they had fun while I was gone, but they were excited to see me.
When I got home on Monday I asked Jack what he wanted for dinner and he said, "broccoli." I think they lived on mac n cheese and pizza, so I was glad Jack was excited for something healthy.
