Becky's Triathlon

Two down ... more to come! Becky competed in the Danskin triathlon sprint (1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike ride, 3.1 mile run) over this last weekend. She did the first one after Mattie was born, and the second now after Brady's infant days. Months of training with buddies Sarah, Jenny & Julie and the work paid off. Becky's ready to push even harder for next year. She's trying to get Chris to do one with her, but the swimming is a bit daunting for him :). Here is Becky with Sarah Chandler, fellow new mom and training buddy.

Now that Brady is walking and climbing he climbs onto his little push popper thing and loves to have Mattie push him around. They did this for almost a half hour around the house this morning. We love how much they enjoy each other!!

Happy Birthday Brady - The day after

Checking everything out the day after the big party ...

Hanging with my Bro in my new Lightening McQueen Couch from Uncle Rick & Aunt Cindy!



Wait a minute, I see new toys over there...

This dump truck holds all of them, time to start loading (I think Mattie likes my couch! In the background!)

Happy First Birthday To Brady!!

Cruising the Gig

What a life... Mom tries to get some exercise and we get lots of yummy snacks while she does!

A Day With Mac

Cutie pie Mac Fortino came over to play for an afternoon... Brady couldn't resist trying to "borrow" some of Mac's crackers.

A kiddie pool & slip n' slides

Mattie had a fun afternoon last week with our neighbors Mesa (9) and Jaret (5). Here they are after some hard work on the slip n' slide... Nice and mellow in the pool!

A good end to a great night....

After a weekday dinner, Dylan, Faith & Mattie settle in for a quick episode of Jay Jay the Jet Plane!
