Legacy Duathalon

April 16th was the 2nd Annual Legacy Duathalon. Since Chris' toes have some issues from running the SLC 1/2 marathon last weekend Chris decided to participate in the short race. It was a lovely day for a race and he did really well- it has a stagered start so that is why everyone is lined up ready to go. They do a run bike run. I have a hard time finding him in the crowd he wore his SLC shirt - finally he was easy to pick out wearing bright yellow!

Salt Lake City 1/2 Marathon

Chris has really gotten into running and he said the other day that he was addicted to it. He has been training for the SLC 1/2 Marathon for a while and it finally came. We all got up early and headed down to SLC. We thought there woould be more traffic so we were there in plenty of time. Alana, Ryker and I waited by Sugar House Park and waited for Chris and Greg to pass by. Ryker kept running back and forth on the lawn so he is fuzzy.
Then there they were, Ryker got a high 5 from Dad, and we headed off to the finish line. I still have not been able to get a good finish line picture of Chris. I am lookingand looking and then there is he over the line, nuts. He had a great time running the 13.1 miles- 2:04:36!

Chris and Greg posing with their medals and Chris's nasty toes after the race they had blood blisters. The still look gross- there is a video of when he took off his sock but I think I will spare you from it.

Discovery Gateway!

We had the chance to go the the Discovery Gateway with Megan's Joy school group. Ryker was running all over trying to take it all in, if I blinked or looked away off he would be. I had him dressed in red so I could see him easier but there was a large school group there and they all put on red smocks- so it wasn't very helpful. He loved playing in every area, construction, the house, water table. At the store you woud have thought he was on supermarket sweep he was zooming about and taking things that were in other carts if there was no one with them.
They have an actual medical helicopter outside on the roof that the kids can sit in the front and the back. I am not sure about the face he is making- Alana had a great time too especially when she fell asleep in the carrier.

Ryker loved playing at the water table, he kept going ack and getting mad that someone was playing with his green bowl. Funny Kid.

We went up to the capital building and had lunch the tree had losts of bees in it- I don;t think you can see them in the picture but it was buzzing. What a wonderful day!

St. Patty's Weekend

Chris made a wonderfully green dinner for St. Patty's day. He was unaware of how a little green food coloring can go a long way. Ryker thought it was amazing to eat green food and will ask for different colored scrambled eggs although they don't look as good as the green ones do.
Chris' beloved Pamaw passed away at the young age of 96 and Greg came up and they celebrated her life by playing a round of golf with Ryker. It was supposed to be in the 60's but it was really in the 40's so they were a little cold.
We rounded off the weekend with a Pistashio Cake, WOW Delicious! I got the recipe from Tast of Home and highly recommend it! Alana was eyeing it and she isn't to solid foods yet.

Fun times with Family

March 7-11 I watch my 2nd cousin Beckam while his family wentto Disneyland. They loved watching Dinosaur Train and we had some nice weather so we were able to enjoy the park together. Alana is great no mater where she is, especially if she finders her fingers. It was a fun week and when his parents showed up to take him home I think he finally reallized that he wasn't at his home and didn't want to leave.
My Mom came up one day and we went to Taste of Home Cooking Show. I love to get new recipes!

All Dressed Up!

Ryker and Alana were all dressed for Church and we had a few minutes so here are some pictures.
