The Company Lagoon Day

Back in August we went to Lagoon with Spencer's work.  It was pretty awesome.  I think the boys are at the best ages for total Lagoon enjoyment!

 Spencer took the boys on the Tidal Wave.  I thought this was a BAD idea.  They lived.  Turns out I am still the biggest scaredy-cat in the family.  

 Owen and I made out on the skyride!

 I didn't get so lucky with Eli, he was pooped!

 The next night we went to Cherry hill camping with Spencer's Family.  This is the one and only picture I took of the camping trip.  

Scofield Triathlon

July 17th was not THAT long ago, right?  Well that is the day Spencer did the Scofield Triathlon.  He did the Olympic Distance,  it was 1.5 K (1 mile) Swim in open water, a 40 K (25 miles) bike, and a 10 K (6.2 miles) Run.   Here are his results:  over all finnish time of 3 hours and 30 seconds!  Here is how it broke down:  Swim 33 min 10 sec, Bike 1hr 21min 02 sec, Run 58 min, 58sec. 

He did Amazing!  My favorite part of this triathlon was the fact that the boys stayed at grandma's house therefore I was able to really watch the whole thing.  For example, I went out on a dock to watch the swim!  Had my boys been there they would have for sure jumped or fell in the water.  Thanks Scott and Cathie for keeping the boys overnight.    

Go Spencer! 

P.S. less than 3 weeks till the Marathon!  I'm not gonna lie to you and say I am not super excited to have Saturday mornings back, that is until he starts his training for this!

new sleeping arrangements

A few months back we moved Eli into the bottom bunk.  Within a few weeks Owen decided that he wanted to sleep down on the bottom bunk too.  I am pretty sure it is just so they can keep each other up giggling and such.  The thing that puzzles me is why anyone would want to share a bed with this wiggle worm!?!

big-o-melons

we waited very patiently for our first watermelon to be ripe!  the boys were super excited to cut into it!  it was pretty tasty too.  

A few of Owen's faves

Owen has recently decided he has musical taste. I am not sure what I think of this since now I am no longer in control of what we listen to, here are his favorite songs that he insists upon listening to on repeat every time the ipod is on.

Guster - Satellite:  It all started with this one,  for some reason he calls it the "Ironman song."  I think is does sound sorta super hero-ish, don't you?



Regina Spector - On The Radio:  I am gonna attribute this one to the GNR references and the constant repeating of as he calls it "on the Braidio" that has him hooked. 



Avett Brothers - And It Spread:  He's a sucker for the screaming parts.  I laughed pretty hard the first time I saw him rocking out in his car seat to this one. 



Kelly Clarkson:  My Life Would Suck Without You:  and Spencer's favorite to sing along with....  I especially like when Owen sings along  to "I know that I've got issues"  with conviction! What four year old doesn't have issues?
