Our new home and Hair Cuts

We just moved to our new house one month ago.  We are so thankful that we were lead to this area.  We love the people we have met, it's a beautiful area, and there's plenty of trails and bike lanes and parks.  We are soooo excited about that.  There's also a canyon nearby (not for skiing) but for enjoying during the non-snow season.  Utah is such a beautiful place and we are so grateful to be living here.  Our family is growing closer together.  Our home is almost organized.  I can't believe it's taken this long, but oh well!  You can't have everything go how you want it to, right?  I need a little handy man at my beck n' call! :)  (to put medicine cabinets together, help paint, etc...)  Greg could do it, if he had anytime.  He is working on organizing our garage...which has been a big undertaking. 

 Before his haircut. He was so sad and so confused :(

 After his haircut!  So cute :)

Bubbs (Parker) is 9 months old, and has been crawling for a little over a month.  He is also pulling himself up.  He's really excited about that :)   He LOVES Cheerieos.  He loves to splash in the bathtub.  He loves his sister...but from about a 12inch distance.  As soon as she puts her face in his, he doesn't love it.  Especially when she jabbs her finger in his eye (which she surprisingly loves to do).

Kate is turning 3 this month!  Holy cow! She's so cute and so fun.  She has come into a whole new level of understanding of concepts, reasoning and humor.  She's so great.  Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to restrain a wild boar, but besides that, she is awesome.  We love her to pieces and she brings an innocent perspective into our lives.  She gets so excited about things like: listening to the crickets at night, seeing the moon, seeing jet airplanes leave their streams (she calls them rocket ships), and she proudly shows us pictures she colors.  Her very favorite snack in the world is marshmallows.  She would do anything for marshmallows and fruit snacks.  But she is also really loving grapes now and can handle apples in small quantities.  :)   

Greg is enjoying work as a triathlon coach.  I hear wonderful things from his clients and I can see the love that his co-workers have for him. He's a great guy and I am very proud of him.

I am training for the Florida Ironman again.  I thought I wouldn't be nervous, but even typing this makes my heart race.  This past week was a good mile stole for me in mileage, but I am still a bit nervous.  Greg is training me and he truly is the "velvet hammer" as his clients call him.  He seems soft but his workouts a soooo hard.  They are almost killing me, but I know it's to help prepare me.  That race is November 3rd.  Greg has been extremely supportive...he comes home one morning for a few hours and he stays home all day on Saturday while I do the workouts.  He's amazing.  

Hope all of you are well. We'd love to hear what you are up to...on second thought; I'll go check out your blogs right now!
