{yummy}
Said the gremlin to his mommy, "Mommy, you smell good! Like a Popsicle!"
Said that mommy to her gremlin, "Thanks!"
I don't know if you knew this, but that is just about the biggest compliment a gremlin can give a mommy.

slack-a-rama
It would appear I am back to blogging after a 4 month hiatus. I will warn you, there are 7 other new posts after this one. I made a commitment to myself to get caught up and caught up I am! Wahoo! We went to the Bees baseball game last night to have an All-American family night out. We didn't make it through the whole game, I never plan to with a gremlin in tow, but we got some fun pics.
Alex didn't go to the game to watch baseball. She went for the cotton candy, nachos, and chili cheese dogs. It is safe to say we spent more money at the concession stands than we did on the tickets.

{cutest kids ever}
The Target Photo Studio always does an excellent job. My kids are beyond adorable:)
Brady is 4!
My quirky little guy keeps growing. He keeps me on my toes... ALL the time. The energy this kid never ceases to amaze me.
I love my gremlin!
He opened his gifts in record time.
He requested two things for his birthday. Number one, a chocolate ice cream cake with motorcycles and robot candles. Number two...
a bike! I love that I was able to get him everything he wanted, so easy to please! These days are numbered, I will savor them while they last.

San Rafael Classic
In June Tony tackled his 3rd sprint triathlon. I admire his dedication. Alex and I decided to get in on the racing action this time around. Alex competed in the kids triathlon and I decided to give the woman's duathlon a go. (Turns out I have a very real fear of swimming in open water.)
Tony and Alex before the race.
The water was cold.
Tony getting his cycle on.
Road runner.
Alex's friend raced with her. If you have ever met a teenage girl you know they do things in pairs and groups, not alone.
They are dorks.
I think Alex only got on her bike twice before the race. Despite the lack of training she was awesome!
Alex came in 3rd in the girls division! She rocks! Tony ran with her and to keep her motivated. He told her we would buy her some 80's inspired sunglasses she had been eyeing if she didn't let another girl pass her. The bribe worked!
I finished 3rd in the women's duathlon! I will be honest, there wasn't much competition but 3rd place is 3rd place right? I do have pictures of myself however I am wearing no make up, am sweaty, and donning form fitting exercise apparel. After an internal battle vanity won. I will not be posting pictures of myself, but believe me I was there and I raced. I finished the whole thing. I have several eye witnesses that can vouch for me, promise!
The next weekend Tony participated in the MS 150. (Again... the unbelievable dedication of this man...) I don't have a pic of him cycling but I do have this pic of him attempting to be a gangster. He has an Olympic distance triathlon planned in August and September along with a relay run. Good luck keeping up with my bad ass husband. I know I can't.

Alex is 14!!!
Alex turned 14 in June. I have no idea where the time goes. I remember meeting her when she was a know-it-all 6 year old. Now she is know-it-all 14 year old... but does it with style! She is so gifted. Between her intellect an artistic abilities this girl is going to take the world by storm! Thanks for being born Alex the Andra! I can't imagine my life without you.
We had a picnic at the park to celebrate Alex's and Katrina's birthdays.
Yes, occasionally I allow pictures of myself to appear on the blog.
Alex and Grandpa Russ
Katrina and Brady. He absolutely adores her!

...all she wants to do is dance!
Alex took dance the 2nd semester in school and preformed in the end of year finale in May. Her technique has really improved and the performance was superb! She is a geek! Er... I mean she played the role of a geek. Love you Alex!
St. George
We ventured to St. George in May for Tony's 2nd sprint triathlon. It was incredibly windy so the race officials changed it to a duathlon which required Tony to run two 5ks. He had never ran that far in one day before and conquered it like a champ! Unfortunately I have no pics of the race. Brady was super cranky so we ended up chilling on the beach. I got some great pics of the kidlets but we missed cheering Tony on.
After the race it was time for some R&R
The next day we went on a mild red rock hike.
Brady was cracking me up. He insisted on walking around with his arms extended. Tony decided to join him creating a priceless photo opt.

Lake Havasu
In April Tony competed in his first sprint triathlon in Lake Havasu, AZ. We made a family road trip out of it and had a fabulous time!
Tony and the kiddos at the Hoover Dam. I'll be honest. I was disappointed. I'm not sure what I expected but I don't think it was worth going out of our way to see.
These kids make me happier than words can say:)
Tony an his brother, Tim, before the race. It was awesome that Tony was able to experience his first race with his brother. And so began Tony's new passion... being a triathlete.
