Need I say more????

So now Katie and Kjersten...you're it!

SPUDMAN TRIATHLON 2007

So I really wanted to do the Spudman triathlon this year, but I didn't get in on time (they capped the total participants at 2,000 this year and it filled up in a matter of hours after it opened). I was bummed, but the triathlon was the last Saturday in July and we were moving that Monday, so it would be really tight. Anyway, Sidney was leaving to China the day after the Spudman and wasn't going to be able to make it. She was doing the Biking in a team with Mckell Blake and Melanie Haddock. Sidney asked me if I would do it for her. figuring I could squeeze it in, I decided to do it. I only had a few days to train, but I felt good since the bike is my strength. And I had plenty of those bright red energy beans!

We had a blast and actually ended up finishing FIRST PLACE in the team category. Mckell swam 1 mile in 20 minutes, Melanie ran 6 miles in 56 minutes & I biked 26 miles in 1 hour 9 minutes. We all did great and had the best time!

What is goose tape?

Okay, this is great! I was inside making dinner (yes this is a true story) and Brooks and Mylee were in the garage playing with our moving boxes. Brooks came in and asked me for some "goose tape."

"What?" I asked.

"Goose tape!" he replied.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Brooks."

"Mommm, I neeeed some goose tape, I know you know what it is."

"Oh do I? What is it then?"

You know Mom, the real sticky stuff that holds things together."

I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I realized that what he wanted was not in fact "goose tape" but duct tape or "duck tape"!
