May in Review

It has been a busy month. Enjoy a few highlights:

St. George {It was perfect weather and we had a great time tagging along with Russ while he was working. If only we could have stayed longer}

Neil with his favorite flowers: yellow snapdragons :-)

The boys at weeping rock

Josh's 1st soccer season {He loved it and enjoyed playing with several of his buddies. Now the repeated question is, "when does my soccer start again?"}



My Grandma's 90th birthday {A lovely event for Ellen Jones.. my wonderful Grandma. It included a dinner and a musical performance of music that was written for my Great Grandmother}

Finally, we had a nice and busy Memorial Day weekend with time spent on our sprinkler system, then a day at the cabin with the Bartons and a picnic in Morgan with the Dicksons. I didn't bring my camera.. Now on with summer!

My 1st "TRI"

Not sure if you noticed the weather on Saturday morning-- raining, 40 degrees, windy... It was the perfect day to attempt my 1st triathlon, right? When we arrived, we were told that the swim would be replaced with a 1 mile run... so run/bike/run. I was a little relieved at the time to not be riding a bike soaking wet in 40 degree wind, but now I feel like I need to do another one. So my friend Em and I just signed up for our 2nd "TRI" in a couple of weeks. We'll see how it goes. This really was fun.. glad to do it with some of my favorite people-- former roommates, Emily, Misha & Melissa. I didn't end up with many in action photos, but here's us at the end:

The boys were thrilled to see me.. can you tell?

Please notice the snow on the mountains:

The girls: Misha, Meliss, Christie & Em
