Spencer's Triathlon

Spencer biking. Notice Jessica, Jax and me cheering him on.

Spencer does it again! Triathlon number two (number three is next week). He was looking forward to this race. He did it last year and really enjoyed the experience. He had two goals: beat his time from last year and beat his friend. He did both. He beat last years time by 10 minutes. The day was perfect for swimming 500 yards, biking 12 miles and running 4 miles. It was a bit humid but sufficient cloud cover. We are so proud of him!

Zack's Rite of Passage

So I'm a little late... Family tradition states that when a male in the family turns 16 he gets his first suit. Here is Zack in his first suit. He looks pretty good if I do say so myself.

First Day of School

It's the first day of school. The boys thought I was ridiculous taking their picture. I told them I needed something to look at when they have left the house! I can't believe Spencer is a Senior. Time flies...

Spencer's Rite of Passage

Spencer, Cameron Hendricks and Craig Lewis took off for an overnight adventure to Chicago. The boys enjoyed being on their own - making their own decisions and being their own men. They had a great time.

I finally gave in!

Fine...Just fine... I thought Facebook would be a great way to keep in touch but it seems as though many of my family members refuse to get an account (or if they have an account don't check it often). So, I gave in and started a blog. Don't expect anything fancy, just occasional pictures and updates to keep you updated on our lives.
