Labor Day weekend and First Day of School

I have been so busy but I am going to try to be better about posting. We had a great Labor Day weekend. We went to our favorite lake Higgins Lake with friends. Here are a few photos from that day and the first day of school. Yes I cried I was so worried about all day kindergarten for Logan and to my suprise he LOVES it. He said on Monday "I wish school was everyday of the week" He also loves hot lunch bonus for me....

One proud Momma....

This weekend Taylor played in the Dewitt Ox Roast 4 on 4 soccer tournament. It was so much fun good friends, good food and of course GOOD TIMES. Her team won all 4 games on Sat which gave them a direct spot in the championship game today. We were down 2-0 in the first half and Taylor drilled one into the goal, then she drilled another one into the goal so it was tied up 2-2 at half time. The other team went up 3-2 and again out of no where sissy nails one to tie it up 3-3. I was so proud of her!!! It went into a shoot out and our last player scored her goal and we won. We took first place!!! We beat an awesome team....So that is my proud momma moment!

Vacation...Torch Lake

We had such a great time on vacation this year. We spent about a week up north. We started at Higgins Lake for a day and then went onto Torch Lake with the Aeschilimans. We had so so much fun. The weather was not good 2 days and beautiful for 3 days. The kiddies fished every morning and swam everyday no matter how cold out it was. Here are some photos...

The Hawk Island Triatholon 2009

On Sunday May 31st I thought I was going to be a Triathlete but I became a dualathelte. As many as you know I had my 3rd ear surgery March 31st and the Dr. said NO swimming. Prior to my surgery I had taken swimming lessons and had been swimming for about 4 months knowing that would be my weakest link. I pressed on with the race. I met some of the nicest people and made strong frienships with others during this training. (You all know who you are) The dedication and training for this was simply amazing. I had to take off from all excercise from March 31st until April 28th. I cannot believe how much was lost during those weeks but I still did the bike and run. I biked 10 miles in roughly 40 min and ran 3.1 miles in 26 min. So you all ask what is next well.....the St. Johns 10miler race is August 8th and training began today!!! All my fellow tri peeps are hopefully getting their run in today....lol...Here are few pictures of me before the race, on my bike and with my buddy from high school who did amazing. He took 44th out of 700, he swam 400m in 8:07, Biked 10 miles in 30:30, and ran his 3.1 miles in 20:20...He was so awesome....
