The year is half over and this is my second post...

 Tino did his first mountain bike race with his big brother Nix. Nix raced his 3rd mountain bike race 6-8 year olds. He came in 1st his last 2 races! and Tino finished strong!
 They love to climb and explore... I need to keep them hiking!
 Sunday family walk to the water tower on Father's Day!
 Nix graduated first grade and we all wore our tye dye shirts to celebrate.
 Nix was in a class play and against all odds, daddy was there to see it!  There were only a few chosen to play their flutes for all the songs of the play and Nix was chosen, I want to get him a flute to play at home because they are left at school and recycled after 2nd grade.
 Tino had a birthday! #5
Corbs thinks he can swim, Tino can swim now, and Nix doesn't remember not knowing how to swim! They love swimming with daddy, he is so fun, they can't understand how mommy is a faster swimmer than daddy.  He could probably kick my trash right now, but once this baby comes... I hope my body goes back into the correct places.  I am so achy and weak this time around, as long as she is healthy!  9 months pregnant and can't wait to see this little girl!  I've been doing what I need to every day hoping she comes sooner than later.  I'd like her to have her own month, but sharing with Corbs will be cool.  OH! and New news on the home front, Corbs is potty trained.  Nix's last day of school he pooped in his diaper and I said, "That is the last diaper you will poop in, we need to save the diapers for the baby."  And he said, "O Tay!"  He went 11 days without an accident.  He had his first accident today, but cousins were over and he was having too much fun playing so we won't count it.  :) 
They are all big sweet hearts!  I love my 4 boys so much!  And this little girl, she will probably love them all too!  Can't wait to meet her!

Happy summer days

The hose entertains Nix for a long time, but doesn't satisfy his need to be under the water. Tino is happy to be able to play with these cars without interruption. Lately he has been filling his diaper then saying to me, "Poopoo potty?" in his cute little voice.
Cinnamon rolls for the world cup... not a very happy ending for the USA today... so it turns out, the cinnamon rolls were more or less to ease the pain of our loss today. You can find this amazing recipe here.
Tino would rather be out of the pool, or relaxing in the hot tub.
Nix would rather be under the water, he would actually think it very convenient to be able to breathe the water.

Team Thirsty Fish

Monte facebook messaged Brett and I a few months ago to see if we wanted to participate in a half ironman triathlon relay. I would swim, Monte would bike and Brett would run. I started to swim a few times a week so I would be strong enough to compete, and a lot of fun things happened during my training. My friend in the next picture, happened to work for the company putting on the triathlon. She invited me to swim in the ocean with her on Thursday nights, so I had a few open water training days, and then she informed me of a 1 mile ocean swim race, that Sophi and I did without signing up. I had another friend agree to wake up early one day a week to swim in her pool, and we only missed two mornings in the 2 months that we did that. Then when I went to visit my family, I went swimming with my mom and sisters a few times at 5 am which was really fun too. Brett didn't find the time to train like he wanted to, so he contacted a ringer for our team. Wadley, who is one of the fastest swimmers in the nation, and an amazing triathlete. Brett and Wadley served in the same mission, at the same time, and have remained in touch after a decade. So in the end, his quick pace running really helped place our team in 3rd place in the mixed relay category. Sophi's team was right behind us.




Well done Monte! The bike was the longest, hardest and most gruesome leg of the entire race. And probably one of the hardest bike routes of any race out there.

If you are wondering where my swimming picture is, well, I don't know if there is one yet. And if there is one and after I look at it, I may not want to post it on my blog. So there you go.

Corona Del Mar

Last week I swam Corona Del Mar twice. I did about a mile each time. Very fun and very exhilarating.
