Bear Lake Triathalon

Last weekend we went to Bear Lake to watch my mother and father compete in a triathlons. It was fun to watch Them compete in the 3 events. My mom took 1st in her age group by 17 minutes and my dad took 1st in his age group by 23 seconds. After we all went to the beach and played in the water. The water was freezing, but Avarie wanted to play in it so I let her thinking she would get cold and want out. It didn't work I had to pull her out kicking and screaming with lips blue.

Tiling Pics

Here are some pictures of the tiling job that we did upstairs. I am still working on the grout downstairs so the pics will come later for that.

Tile

Well we were able to tile the upstairs bathroom this past weekend. It is nice to have all of the flooring in the house updated now and it all looks so much better. I dont walk into the bathrooms now and cringe.

Park Visit

Avarie and I went to the Park yesterday. I worked 3 days ina row and that bothered her so I decided we would have some mommy and baby time so I took her to the park while we waited for Derrick to get out of class. It was so funny she was squeeling at the ducks and geese because they would walkl less than 3 feet away from you (they are really use to people). It was a lot of fun we just walked around or sat and watched the birds for 2 hours. I am posting picture of avarie but it is from my phone so I am not sure it will turn out real well.

New Pics

Here are some new pictures of Avarie. We were able to get new family pictures on the 21st with my family. I think they are going to turn out really cute. Avarie was a real ham.

New Niece

We have a new niece. She was born yesterday August 19th at around 12:00 PM. Tori had her 17 days early and she was 18 inches long I believe, and she weighed 5 lbs 6 oz. She is so adorable. Congratulations Tori and Jason.

Projects

Avarie is "helping" daddy.

Well this week was an eventful week. We got a couple of projects done around the house. We got the rest of the outlets switched out to white ones and hauled rock to one of the flower beds to do some desert landscaping. We also tiled our downstairs bathroom. which was interesting. I am sure there are imperfections, but atleast it turned out a lot better than the nasty flooring that was in there before. The funny story about redoing the flooring is that Derrick was trying to fix the toilet down there and he broke the bowl of the toilet which means we need to buy a new toilet, but while the seal was broken we figured it would be easier to tile the bathroom now than break the seal twice to do it later. So we were kind of stuck. Oh well new flooring whoo hoo. The pictures are of Avarie trying to help Derrick with the outlets and switches.
