Triathalon

Jess has been trying to convince me to do a triathalon for almost 2 years now! It sounded fun but I knew without a big boost I would never actually sign up. So one sunday while I was at a meeting my dear sweet husband signed me up and I knew there was no turning back! So me and some of my best friends decided to train and do it all together! It was so fun to train with people you love to be around and to experience all of these first timer experiences with them!! We had a blast! I even learned to swim!!!! Yes I am proud of that!! Super slow but hey a swim is a swim!! Thanks ladies for the awesome experience! And special thanks to Jess for coaching us all through it! She was so patient and understanding of our stupid questions and concerns! She took us on a lot of bike rides and helped us swim so we didn't die at the lake!! I love Jess so much and I am so grateful to have such an awesome sister in law!! Without her, none of us could have done this!!

All of us lovely ladies completed our first triathalon together! We went to dinner to celebrate before the actual race!!

Easter 2012

Spring Break--
This is our first spring break ever!! I decided to try to do one adventure a day! Sadly I didn't get pics of all of it! We flew a kite, painted bird houses, went to Mcds, went to the drive in, played at the park many times, had a glow stick bath and stayed busy the whole week!!

And the kite flying ended like this!!!

We had such a fun trip to Arizona! The weather was amazing and we always love visiting the Nielsen family! The kids had so much fun and played so well together! We went to the zoo, the easter pagent, the pool, the train park, San Tan flats and played in the backyard for many hours! thanks for letting us come stay with you guys!!

The kids had been earning money to take to Arizona. Instead of a toy Brody wanted to ride the merry-go-round!

These 2 played so good together!! I love that the older they get, the less fighting we hear!

Chan loves his picture taken. He wanted to carry the camera and take pics of everything.

The Nielsen clan! What an adorable family!! Thanks for making our vacation so awesome!

We are expecting a 4th child!!! But its going to be a Gorilla!

Oh Worver!! We love you so much!!

A day at the lake bed....

The kids love to go out and ride four wheelers! Lucky for us, Luke just bought some! My parents drove down and we all headed out for a fun day!!

Brody insisted on carrying this bud light bottle every where!

Best little buddies
