Wow

Wow, where has the time gone. I am still amazed that my baby is growing up so fast. Way to fast! He is not even 7 months yet and he is already pulling himself up. Crazy I know! He even pulled himself up onto Jeremiah and stood by himself for a second. Sad very sad, I want him to stay a baby. I love my mama's boy. He loves his mommy. Some other major developments, he has his first tooth. Morgan is so good to him, she gets him toys and tissues and wipes his nose.

We are alive and the "bee" died!

After little SLEEP, we woke up at 5:00 am to get ready to go. The moment that we have worked so hard was finally here. I was soooo scared and nervous all the way up to Bear Lake. The whole way up there I kept on saying to myself "I can't believe that I am doing a triathlon." We arrived at Bear lake about 7:30. No time to think about doing Morgan's hair, her mom couldn't even think straight. Good things for great husband that have it together.

We picked up are packets and received are numbers and and time chips. Time to go set up are stations, and squeeze into the spandex and wet suit and think to myself "I should of done some more situps. Spandex shows everything.


Time to say good bye to our wonderful kids. "WOW", what a farmers tan. Hopefully I will see them again.

I was relieved to find out that Jeremiah and I would start at the same time. Still scared but was happy to have Jeremiah by my side. By the way the water in Bear lake is freezing. I was grateful for my wetsuit, and thinking that I am way out of my comfort zone. Jeremiah worked overtime to keep me calm. Once I got through the swim I would be okay. We are the cute couple holding hands.

Here comes Jeremiah, piece of cake for him. Where's Megan you ask, she is still swimming, thinking " I think I can, I think I can" Where do I go, oh no I am swimming the wrong way. Okay back on course, what am I doing here. Next time I am doing a triathlon in the swimming pool with out the waves and freezing cold water..

I made it, wow I am glad thats over, It wasn't as bad as I thought. A least I am not the last one. Okay here goes round two. How Am I going to get this wetsuit off. Good things for brother-in-laws. As I was running to my bike, Jeremiah's brother said to lay on my back and he grabbed my wet suit and ripped it off. Good thinking Shaun.

Okay now for the bike. Oh no where's my hat, there it is under my towel.
In the mean time waiting for mommy and daddy to return they had fun playing and sleeping. Needless did they know mommy got stung by a bee at the beginning of the bike leg of the triathlon, can I say OCH!!!. It flew straight at me and got stuck in in my bike helmet. Oh well I had to keep going. Training on hills really helped, made up some time on the bike. Okay where is Jeremiah, there he is on his way back to run. It was fun seeing his smiling face and giving me a thumbs up.

After along bike ride and a bee sting, I made it back. Round three, hopefully I have enough energy to do my run. I can do It, I trained for this. I have come this far!

Okay here I Go. Who is that cute guying running past me on the opposite side, wow he is good looking. Oh! that is my cute husband showing off. I train as hard as I could after having a baby, Jeremiah hardly trained at all because he was really busy with work and school.


Okay, so I am almost at the end and I haven't stopped running I know that if I stop I won't be able to start again.I see the finish line.

Yes!!!! That is a big smile on my face. Wow what a goal to accomplish. Four months ago I didn't even know how to swim. Had a baby 6 months ago, Thank you to Jeremiah for believing in me and helping overcome my doubt and fears. Thanks to my Swim instructor who taught me how to swim and for pushing me forward. Doing this Triathlon I learned that you never know what you can accomplish until you try and its good to get out of your comfort zone once in a while. I know you wondering if I would do it again. The answer is yes. I am already planning to do one in May. So if there is any one that wants to join me let me know.

In honor of waffle day

In honor of waffle day yesterday celebrating the first waffle Iron we made waffles. Too bad no one was in the mood to eat them right away. Morgan was upset about the items on her waffle and had a melt down, and J wasn't hungry. Oh well they are cute anyhow. Don't worry they didn't go to waste after morgan realized that she could have her plain waffles she decided that it was okay to eat them. You have to love the terrible two's, it is amazing what sets her off. But for the most part she is still a joy to be around.

Saturday adventures

So J had to work today so Morgan and I filled the day with adventures. First thing this morning we decided to make some friends out of her rocks. Morgan loves rocks and collects them. She had fun painting her rocks. Latter on in the day we made an obstacle course outside and raced on her bikes. Of course she won because I couldn't go as fast on her bike(Sorry no pictures, not a pretty site). Well we raced bikes ran under yarn, ran to a ball threw it in the baskit and ran to Riley. To finish of the day we made dinner and enjoyed dinner on our front porch, followed by a beauty session with hair and nails. Morgan was also thoughtful enough to tell me to go take a nap and she would be quite.(thanks morgan for the invite). Morgan is working on a new song that she sings all the time. " I'm like a princess, like a princess"

My Little Man is Growing Up!!!

Well my little man is growing up so fast. Milestone #1, he is sitting up. He hasn't quite mastered it, but is getting close. I can't believe that he is almost 6 months old. He has been such a joy and great addition to the family. His smile just makes my heart melt. He is also Crawling the fun has just began. He has the cutest crawl. He gets up on his knees and scoots both knees at the same time.

This is Morgan love of her life, she loves ridding her bike. Watch out because her she comes.

She was so tired that she couldn't even Finnish getting on the chair

My bike is in the mail.

So I am so excited for my new bike. This will be my real first bike. Who would of thought that I would love to bike. Saturday I went on a 12 mile bike ride and loved it, not so much the hills but everything else. In less than 4 weeks I will be doing my first Triathalo n. I can't believe that I am actually going along with this crazy idea. I have been enjoying my training. I have also learned a couple of things. I have learned that I love swimming and riding my bike. I learned that you really find what your made of when you push yourself. I am also excited that J is doing this Triathalon with me. He is such a great support. I am sure he will be at the finnish line waiting for me, I will probably still be swimming. :) Hopefully it is a good bike!

The Swimming Adventure

Morgan Loves to swim and has no fear when it comes to the water. So any opportunity to go swimming she is there. Well are ward has a swimming party, and we decided it would be fun to take her at the last minute. We grabbed are things and headed out the door. On the way out Jeremiah dropped by Walmart to get a new swimming suit. When we got the pool, Jeremiah went and changed. He came out of the dressing room shaking his head saying this is not going to work. The swimming suit was way to big and the Jaw string that he thought he had was just for looks so you couldn't tighten the shorts. So he told me that I would have to go swimming, Well I went to grab my swimming suit and realized it was still at home. All Jeremiah could say " are you serious, you didn't bring your swimming suit to the pool. Well I had to run home while Jeremiah took Morgan into the pool holding his shorts the whole time. On the way back to the pool I dropped of and bought him a new swimming suit. Well this time he came out of dressing room and told me that he didn't need to worry about his suit falling off. The suit that I had bought his was to small. Oh well it worked and it was cheap. I didn't want to buy an expensive suit and went for the clearance item, I figured since he had lost so much weight it would of worked. Morgan and Riley sure had fun in the water. Morgan even went down the water slide with me, even though I felt like I was going to drown when we splashed into the water at the bottom. I was so concerned about holding her above the water, I forgot to hold my breath. A fun family adventure for sure.
