Luke & Mary

On August 29th, 2008 my brother Luke was sealed to his beautiful bride Mary Remington in the Bountiful Temple. The wedding was beautiful and we are so blessed to have Mary in our family. It was a week filled with family and fun!

The Triathlon


What an awesome day! We had all worked so hard for this, set goals and accomplished things we never thought possible. I remember the first time I got in a pool to train - Blake was 5 weeks old and after 1 lap I was completely out of breath. I got out of the pool and said to Steve - yea right! 36 laps? Then bike, then run 3 miles? I don't think so. But ever so slowly we all worked our way up to being ready for the big day. It was a blast. We cheered each other on, set personal records and had an awesome support team. Let's do it again!

This time the open water swim was nothing but amazing!
It helped that the water was
much warmer in August than in June.

Crossing the finish line - I'm addicted :)

Mountain Escape

Life has been a whirlwind lately! It's been a busy, fun summer so it's time to catch up on some blogs. In July we took a wonderful vacation to Dillon, CO. We went hiking, biking, fishing and boating. We enjoyed the stunning scenery, mountain air and family time. It was good to be in the mountains that John loved so much growing up. I felt a little closer to him here.
This was the most beautiful bike ride of our lives.
Triathalon training!


On Saturday we had Sandy, Art, Deb and Grandpa join us for a day. We took a boatride across Dillon Lake and drove through the middle of the annual Sailboat Rigatta with over 70 sailboats on the lake. It was magnificent.

Trenton caught his first fish by himself with Daddy's guidance.

A little piece of heaven for Steve.
