Miami Man Triathlon







What an amazing weekend! The weather in Miami was picture perfect and great race weather! Steve competed in the Miami Man International distance Triathlon on Sunday and finished in 2 hrs 44 min. The biggest shock to us all was that he completed the swim distance of .6 miles in 27 minutes!!! Then it was off to the 22 mile bike ride which he completed in 1:06 then ran 6.6 miles in 1:01. The boys and I had a GREAT time in Miami and I came away inspired and ready to sign up for some more races! This must be a disease that I cannot get away from! Our weekend was packed full of surprises while we were down in Miami. For one, we spotted an Iguana roaming around on the beach next to the waters edge where the triathlon began. And second we had a flock of birds as our welcoming committee. These birds are not your typical birds you see flying around town. I captured one of them on camera when he landed just outside our hotel window, 17 stories high. Oh and did I mention our hotel was in downtown Miami? Very strange I tell you. One things for sure..... I am glad to be home!

Trick Or Treat



Trick or Treating this year was sure to be a blast with this crew! The boys were so excited they could hardly wait! You would have thought it was Christmas around our house. It all started the day we bought the boys costumes, and that was just the beginning. Every day Luke and Jack tried on their "power suits" to make sure all was in working order. Andrew was Darth Vader, Luke was a Clone Trooper from the Clone Wars, and Jack was a blue Power Ranger. Some how Steve and I got suckered into buying the really cool helmets for the Darth Vader and the Clone Trooper costumes. They came with real sounds effects as well as a voice enhancer.


Mark and Jason in their usual form while "T" is sitting pretty. Watch out "Girls Next Door"....... there is a new crew moving in!
