My first Triathlon: 275 Meter Swim, 13.5 mile bike, 3.3 mile run

I had it on my to do list, but didn't think it would be this year. I had a friend ask me to join her and so I did. It was amazing. Some points of the race were hard. Like running up a hill right after you just biked 13.5 miles, AND I made the mistake of getting into the water before the race, I already had anxiety about the swim, so when I got in to try it out and realized how fast the current was going, and I have to swim it in just a few minutes, totally freaked me out. They announced that anyone who isn't a strong swimmer might want to just do the bike/run, They shortened the swim because it was going to fast, but I didn't back out, I thought I was going to faint, all the blood rushed down to my feet and I just did it anyway. It was over coming my fears and accomplishing this huge goal of mine, I was pleased with my time of 1 hour 40 min. Of course now I want to go and beat my time. Thanks Girls, it was so much fun can't wait to do another one with y'all!!

More pictures - Easter Weekend










The kids loved Mckinney falls, they loved jumping off the cliff, that night we went to a carnival and rode a few rides and played a few games. I didn't know that my kids were so good at playing darts. It's always fun to go away and discover new places.

Russell looses his first tooth!



As you all know, my kids teethed very late, we are still waiting for Jeremy to get a few front teeth still. It has been a blessing because they all have good strong teeth, I guess the later you teeth the later you will loose them. So he will be eight in a few months and finally got his moment.

Jacob's half birthday







Since Jacob has a summer birthday, his preschool makes sure they have a chance to celebrate it during the school year as a half birthday. We ended up spending the whole morning at the school Mrs Whinery invited Jeremy to play along at the playground, and do there letter lesson. It was a fun morning with his class.

San Antonio











We took a break from life here, and drove to San Antonio, we went on the river walk, watched the St. Patty's Parade, went into the museum and on the tomb ride.
