Amazing!

I'm not really a big fan of dancing, drill team or cheer type stuff. However tonight I was watching the synchronized swimming teams...Wow. I am pretty impressed. They are pretty amazing. They don't touch the bottom of the pool and yet are able to lift each other up and do these amazing throws. Anyway, it was fun to watch.

Spokane to Sandpoint

We had a crazy weekend! It's taken me half the week to recover. Here are some pictures to prove it happened. It all seems like a fog in my mind. The race started at 7 am Friday morning. The finished 29 hr. 28 minutes, and 190 miles later in Sandpoint, ID. Me and my oldest were volunteers at exchange 30 in Old Town, ID (I'd never heard of it before). Our shift was from 4 am to 11 am. My two oldest wanted to run with their dad at some point. We decided to head up to Silverwood and meet them, ride the rollercoaster and then run with Thomas. We got on the coaster about 2 am. It was pretty fun. The kids wanted to go back again. Thomas' leg was one after the coaster so we waited and the kids took turns riding their bike along with Thomas on his 7 mile run. It was about 3 am when he started that leg. They didn't get to ride too long because we had to get to our exchange by 4 am. The kids slept the rest of the morning. I sat out in the cold (54 degrees, it had been 100 only12 hours earlier). As the teams came through we checked them off. It was an insane thing to do but we sure had fun.

Spirit of the Olympics!



In the spirit of the Olympics Thomas decided to compete in an Olympic Triathlon. It is the Couer D'Alene triathlon. It's a mile swim, 26 mile bike ride, and a 6 mile run. Of course I could be way off on those but...He's still my hero!




Hope you don't mind watching this sideways!
