Duathalon

Brett completed his first Duathalon.  AKA a run(3miles) bike (9 miles) run(3 miles).  It was at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.  It was such a beautiful place for a race.  Even better there was a park right there so we could hang out while we waited.  He did laps around the rose bowl so we got to see him between each of the legs. Brett did awesome and finished 24th overall.  3rd in his age bracket ( there were only 4 but who needs to know). 









This is how we all felt after our 6:00 wake up call!

Everyday Life

"How do you do it"? was the comment I got from the EZ lube guy.  He was referring to taking care of the two little guys I have the pleasure of calling mine. This trip to EZ Lube was pretty comical.  It was all normal stuff for me, but when it is being witnessed by a stanger, everything seems more exaggerated.  First Luke was throwing his snacks everywhere and Ryan was spilling his water all over the floor.  Then, while I was in the middle of getting the low down on our car Ryan says he needed to go to the bathroom NOW! When Ryan goes to the bathroom, no matter where we are, he has to strip down.  And I mean down - no shirt, shoes, even socks come off.  He was taking forever, so I told him to just yell for me when he was done.  So, he was in the bathroom singing and yelling and then he threw the door open and came out.  "I am done!"  He was still (naked).  The EZ Lube guy was a little taken back by then.  Then, I had to redress him one handed while the screaming Luke tried to wiggle free from my arms.  Once dressed, Ryan went to play outside. I could see him, but before I knew it, he has somehow toppled the ash tray... thus the comment " how do you do it?" I just said " I really love them a lot".  
Which is true and which is why nothing is ever too bad with these crazy boys!

Ryan's drawing... I was so proud of him.  It kinda looks like something!  Any guesses as to what it is?  Clue: it has 4 legs.
