Full Speed Ahead - It's June!

Lots of fun things happen in June - and here are our favorites this June - Kate's birthday, Chad's 1/2 Ironman and Chad's 20 year High School Reunion (can you believe it!)

This is Kate, celebrating her fourth birthday! Her best friend Emily is in this pic with her - and she wanted a Jasmine cake. We have done so many princess parties over the years, but this one was the easiest. By Kate's request, the girls played tea party for most of the party. Chad and I watched and just enjoyed. Very cute and fun. She is very proud of being 4 now, and she desperately wants to be as old as her siblings. She is already counting down the days to kindergarten, though she still has a year of preschool left.

Chad did amazing on his triathlon. His 1.2 mile swim in open water was as good as he had hoped - which says a lot since last June he couldn't swim 2 laps without stopping. The bike ride was windy - so he was pretty tired by the run, but he finished and we were so proud of him. It was pretty cool to see all of the finishers and remember what a grueling event they just FINISHED! Chad, you are amazing!

Chad's High School Reunion was very great. It was fun to meet "Peanut's" classmates and interact with their wives. It was fun to see the close ties that seem to bind all Davis High School Graduates. This is Chad standing up to reenact his senior year of high school football - at the request of his friend and student body vice president, Gavin. Believe it or not, Chad was the center - and he is about to spike the ball to the quarterback in this pic. What a fun weekend.

Graham is 4 months old now! He is growing quickly and is still the sweetest baby you have ever met. A very common comment for those around Graham - "I have never heard him cry". And, though he does cry occasionally, he is very content most of the time. And his smiles - well, they are irresistible and freely given. What a cutie!
