I just completed my first triathlon. It wasn't as bad as I was dreading. I actually really enjoyed it, as crazy as that sounds! I had only minor mishaps, one being I actually followed a wrong sign for the runners and ended up running an EXTRA mile. My family has given me all kinds of jokes about this over the weekend about always going the extra mile. I was able to do this triathlon with my sis-in-law Rebecca, which I absolutely was grateful for. She helped me train and get ready for this event. I don't have a picture of the two of us, which I'm so sad about. She did really well, and I'm proud of her and thankful for her persuading me to sign up for this. If anyone is thinking about doing a triathlon and you're not sure if you should, just think about this: seriously, if I can do it, you can too!!!
That's super AWESOME!! What tri did you do? Are you guys doing the relay in a few weeks. Sorry-that's alot of questions. Good job though, you look great!!
Sitting at a restaurant with cousins, Ethan leaned over and called out, "Mommy, can I have ribs?" I was surprised by this because he doesn't like to try new foods. I said, "Sure, do you like ribs?" He replied, "Yeah, are they chicken nuggets?"
While walking into the mall, Ethan was playing "spies" with his Spiderman glasses and secret spy pen. He turned to me and in his best spy voice said,"All right my friend, I'll check and make sure the ghost is clear".
Tonight as I was tucking Ethan into bed he said he doesn't want to grow up and be on the Jazz. He just wants to be a kid and stay on his soccer team. I asked him why, and he replied, "I don't think they have treats after the game when you're big".
I was laughing with my sister-in-law Sarah today about how crazy life is with small children. I told her someday we'll look back and be sad that we don't have any little people to clean up after or run around after. Right then Ethan came and asked for a spoonful of frosting. I laughed and told Sarah, "Someday Ethan won't be asking for spoonfuls of frosting anymore". Just then, Ethan piped up, "Yeah, maybe someday I'll ask for a spoonful of peanut butter!"
While driving over to Joseph's sister Rebecca's home one night, I gave Ethan the usual prep before playing with cousins. I said,"Ethan, I want you to play really nice with Hayden and Melodee, okay, and share." Ethan replied," Okay, who's Sher?"
Every time Alex starts to cry, Ethan comes and pats his face and says, "it's okay, I'm here".
While at his four year checkup, Ethan said "Is the nurse going to shot me?"
We were saying prayers with Ethan the other night, and right in the middle of it he stopped praying. After a few seconds, I told him to keep going. He responded, "I can't. I am just a little kid. My name starts with an E and a R. So I can't say my prayers."
