Triathlon Training

Last summer mom competed in her second sprint triathlon - we learned that you swim, bike and then run.  We decided it was time to start training....at this point we are working on a being a relay team
In most triathlon swimming comes first (except in one of mom's when swimming was last...)
So here's Adrienne training...

After swimming comes biking, Adrienne's still using training wheels, So for now Jacob will be taking the biking leg..
Here's Jacob training......

Finally there is the running part.... this weekend mom ran another 1/2 marathon...that's 13.1 miles...
the day before was the yam scram.. We aren't sure who will run the last part of our relay so we are both in training...

Let's Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you learned earlier my birthday was on thrusday - a fun filled day full of traditions. But I got to have my friend party on Saturday. It was at the fun zone at smuggler's notch resort! I had a great time of combining my favorite activities: mini golf, bouncing, spending time with friends and eating ice cream!

my awesome minature golf cake!

Adrienne and mateo having a snack

blowing out my candles - (a second time... mom forgot a lighter..we sang happy birthday and I pretended to blow out my candles and then my cub scout leader Steve found one..so we lit the candle and sang again!)

breaking my number 7 pianta!

outside mini golf - this counts as a way to hit right?

even the big boys had fun!

Happy Birthday to me!

It's been an exciting week! I turned 7!
My day started off with number 7 pancakes  - a tradition in our house!
 Then it was off to school for the day....but mom brought cupcakes for snack time!
 Mom picked me up from school and took me out to cremees
Then she took my picture on the rock - something we do almost every year - (when I came home from the hospital and then when I was 4, 5, 6, and 7) and my number 7 balloon was waiting for me...another tradition from years (3-7)
and then we had my under the sea dinner of crab legs, mussels and shrimp!
Our dinner was early because I had a game, and after the game we had cup cakes
 and then we went home for more under the sea - my cake! and then presents!
A metal detector (from  mom and dad)  and science kit! (from Adrienne)
I finally started getting ready for bed, when I lost a tooth..., got it all ready for bed, then Uncle Scott called - it was such an exciting birthday - I couldn't fall asleep and was up until 10:30pm!
What an exciting 7th birthday!
