run and fetch

We have made new friends and one of them, Nicole, is a very good photographer.  We asked her to take some shots of the girls because we liked the photos she has taken of her girls.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Rika and the girls went to the splash pad in Herriman with new friends Mason and Erin.  Erin captured a great image of Addy and Mason.  It is on her blog here at http://twomoreseconds.blogspot.com/

just finished my last leg of the ragnar

It has been so much funbut sleep deprived. Can’t wait for a real meal. My van has two more runners to finish there last legs then it is ok to van two to do their final legs. Projected finish for 1pm.

The van is disgusting at this point. 7 guys wearing the same clothes after three runs. Yeah its ripe.

Picture is of my work mate running his second leg.

We just started the ragnar.

I’m running with a team from work. I’ll be running legs from leg three.

Tomorrow I’m running the Wasach back Ragnar relay.  I’m excited for the running, but I’ll miss my family.

We spent Wed. evening at a literary festival for Kids at the Wheeler farm in Salt Lake City.  It is a park that was created to prefer a farm in the center of the city.  Addy could have cared less about the literary stuff she was way into the animals.

Oddly enough Jo is quite content to hang out in the bathroom sink while we bathe Addy in the Tub…

We don’t say the word pool in our house because it starts an uncontrollable chain reaction from our 2 yr old. She starts screaming pool…Pop, JoJo, Mama… Suit, Suit, Pool. This past Sunday Rika made the mistake of Telling Addy we would go to the pool while I was gone getting a hair cut. The line was long at the Barber, so there was a delay in going to the pool. No amount of reason can get through to Addy when she wants to go to the pool.

The girls are doing really well in our new digs.

This is reallyhow people were meant to live.   Every afternoon when I come home kids are playing outside.  We know our neighbors.  No regrets in our move at all.
