Summer Funn!!

Well it is almost Spudman weekend! For those who don't know, The Spudman is a local olympic length triathlon that happens the last saturday in July each year. It is one of the most popular in the nation and filled up 2000 spots in the registration in 12 minutes. So we are pretty happy we ended up with the spots we did. We are excited to have some of our family up for the race. Matt has two sisters and a brother-in-law coming, who will be doing their first triathlon. Some of the other family have done it before and are back to beat their time! We are excited to have them. Here is a picture at the spudman swim start last year.




Here is a picture from one of the triathlons earlier. It was in Idaho Falls and it was COLD! The warmest part of the race was the swim!
Here Matt is finishing putting on his bike gear and heading out in the wind to do the bike portion of the swim, bike and run.
Roxa has recently gotten a lot more serious in her swimming and has alluded to doing the Spudman next year.







Talking of swimming, the boys are playing fish for the next few weeks in swimming lessons and have been doing great. Here is Myles doing his best impression of a flounder.

Twin Falls Temple Open House

This week we had a wonderful opportunity to go to the new Twin Falls temple and work as Ushers for the open house. We got there at 7 in the morning and after a little meeting to tell us what to do we went to our little areas.
At first Roxa and I were assigned to guide people to the front doors if they got lost. Mostly we sat and enjoyed the beautiful summer morning since there weren't many folks coming by the back door. Soon we were whisked to the front to help get people to the various video rooms to see a short DVD on temples and the church history in the area. There were a ton of people coming. Usually the weekends are the only times it is supposed to be so crazy, but they had almost 5,000 go through that day. At the end of our shift I was asked to push one of the visitors through in a wheelchair and Roxa was able to come with. So at the end we were able to go on a tour together. Soon we will take the boys through so they can see it.

Little Miss

Well we have a new member of the family...no, a different kind of baby. Little Miss...or Buttons for short. She has been a nice little kitty and has put up with Mason toting her around for hours. He's quite the little daddy. He takes care of her food and water bowl and even tried to give her a "makeover", we let him know that cats really don't need gel and hairspray to look cute and no they don't wear make-up.
Here is Roxa and Myles and Little miss kickin back on a lazy saturday evening.

Welcome!
