Well it has been a fun and busy couple of weeks. Roxa raced in her first triathlon (she was awesome!) it was the "Tater Tot" we swam a 1/2 mile down the river, jumped out and biked 15 miles, then pulled on our running shoes and ran 3.1 miles to finish. It was a lot of fun. It was a cool day for August, and since it started at 7 in the morning the bike turned out to be quite cold. we got out of the river and jumped right onto our bike and went. It took about half an hour to dry off and start to get warm. 
We stayed together throughout the entire race and really had fun. Roxa's already looking forward to the next one! But she might have to wait until next season...Both of us started started big projects this week as well. Matt had to travel to Provo for work to a conference so Roxa stayed over with the boys at Grandma's and Grandpa's. That was the start of the projects. While Roxa was at Grandma's her and her mom started on two new quilts for the boys. Myles picked out some Star Wars fabric with Yoda on it, and Mason found some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fabric.
So while the boys played in the new cement fountains grandma had made, the women folk sat sewing and stitching up a storm... can you ever have too many quilts?
Well on the way back from Provo Matt stopped in at Home depot and got the remaining items that he needed to start on the master bathroom remodel. Some paint here, a new counter top there, he has been collecting the flooring, fixtures and other materials over the last few months waiting for some time that he could start and really be able to dive in and get it done all at once. So this last saturday after the triathlon Matt got busy and Roxa finished up her quilts.
We aren't the only ones that have been busy, here is Mason and Myles and their friend Ethan making some summer cash at their cool-aid stand. Not too many days left to do them, Myles starts school on Wednesday (1st grade) and the new back to school bedtimes start and the days start to get so busy. 
Back to school is a nice time of year, it's not so blazing hot, but it is still wonderful weather, new adventures begin and the craziness of summer starts to wind down a little. I think it is going to be a great new school year!
