Isaac and the SUPERGOALS!!!

Isaac played in his first soccer game on Sept. 13th and had a BLAST! His team decided that they wanted to be called the SUPERGOALS. And that pretty much was accurate as they have done very well so far.


This season is his first time to play any organized sport. Even though everyone on his team has played before and some of them are a year older, he hustled right along with them and never quit! Watching him move up and down the field reminded me of when I use to play. His short little legs were constantly moving up and down the field! He was a real trooper as he was exhausted by the time the game was over! He seem to have fun and enjoy the exercise. He is always asking when it's time to play soccer :)

All of the family came to watch Isaac play. Dad, mom, Gabriel, Liah...even Grandma Bohn and her brother.


Isaac's game fell right when Liah usually takes her morning nap. She was sooooo tired and this picture says exactly that!!

BRING IT ON...the triathlon that is!!

400 Yard Swim, 1.5 mile run, 12.5 mile bike, 1.5 mile run!! On September 6, 2008 I dared to go where I'd never gone before...I raced in a triathlon!! It was all Kate's doing!! Kate, Shannon, Nanette, and I decided to do this together and see what happened...what happened was great friendships and a bonding experience that made us ALL want to do this again!! For 2 months we emailed as we trained and met on Saturday's occasionally to train together. The big day arrived and I think we all felt as ready as we could be. Here are just a few pictures from the race.

In this picture I was held against MY WILL as Kate took a picture of Shannon and I under the pre-race tent as we listened to pointers on the race and helpful information for us BEGINNERS!! The day of the race they used a permanent marker to make a big "B" on the back of our legs to represent beginner! LOVELY! It was pouring down rain the night before as is evident by my dotted shirt and I am grateful the rain left before the race. It could not have been a more perfect day :)


Adam brought the kids up Saturday morning to see the race and as I started the first leg of the run I rounded the corner to this lovely face and sign!! SO CUTE...thanks Shell for the sign!! Along with Gabriel,many other friends came to show their support...it was AWESOME!! Thanks Michelle, Hollis, Erin, Mahitel, Jeff and family, Griffin, Mac, Gabriel, Isaac, Liah, and Adam!! Here I must also say a BIG thanks to Hannah for keeping my kids so I could train! It was great to have their support and know that people were behind me as I pushed through the training and the race itself! You guys are AWESOME!! I couldn't have done it without you!!


And this of course is me...what can I say? Did you really think the picture would look much different than this? I DON'T THINK SO!! haha(Some have commented that this was me looking much like Gabriel...we are related!!)

Liah learns to crawl...Awwwwwww!!

Liah learned to crawl last week and is now EVERYWHERE!! When she first started crawling she would keep one leg straight and push off her toes. It was so CUTE!! Again, remember to turn off the music on the right side :)
