MY FIRST TRIATHLON

Saturday was Kate's first triathlon. We wouldn't have made it there with out her. Dad set 3 alarms for 5:30am the only problem was we were supposed to leave at 4:45am. So when Kate cried at 4:38am there was a bit of panic. We made in plenty of time though. Troy likes to be there early anyways so we had a big window.

Now to clarify Troy did this Triathlon, Brooke and Kate watched. On the ride down Kate slept, Troy drove and Brooke pretended to catch some ZZZ's. We got there and it was so cold. 44degrees. We hung out in the car watching Baby Divinci and eating yogurt for the first time. (Those of you who really know Troy know that eating in his new little car is a big deal. We had no spills.)

There were about 300 participants. Troy did well finishing in the top 15 over all I think. We don't have official times yet. They used a really weird timing system. The athletes had to wave their wristband over a box at every transition. Then I think there was some technical difficulties or something.

While Troy pushed his body to the limit Kate and I walked around checking out all the doggies. I guess people who like to Tri like Dogs. There was dogs of all sizes. We had a very fun saturday.



Sunday was a pretty fun day too. Regional Stake conference and BBQ'in with Troy.








Dad doesn't take steriods but he sure does drink a bunch of protein and recovery shakes. I like to play in the pantry.










All my friends ride on their scooters at my house. Someone left one by me and I had to try it out. (all by myself)

Its september!


Wow its September. Life is cruising fast. I feel like I can hardly keep up with Kate. She is not officially walking yet but she has taken a few steps around the house. She would rather hold your hand and walk or crawl. She has excellent balance though and will dance and even try to jump when she is standing.

She now says hi, bye, and da along with the good oldies ma and ba. She makes the funniest faces. Troy looked at me the other day and he made one of Kate's "faces" so I think she gets them from him. She still loves her friends that come over daily Ashley and Krissa. She cries when they leave.
