Bob-a-loo chipped his tooth!

So, I don't have a picture of the chipped tooth. I know what kind of scrapbooker am I??? We took him into the dentist and he suggest a crown. Yes a crown on a baby tooth, but it is the front tooth! Luckily the do sedation, much better then trying to hold down a screeming baby! He was NOT happy about the whole thing, but all in all did quite well. I even got the dentist to get some splinters out of his foot he got the day before! He was a little sore that afternoon, but otherwise he's doing great! Well, except that the tooth was loose, so he got a wire put on the first 4 teeth, to help the loose one heal, hopefully! Hey, if he evergets braces I will know what to expect. He does look cute! (I will get pics and post!!!)

Camping day vacation!

Yesterday we decided to get out of the heat, even if only for a little while, and go camping. We went up to Torrey's parents lots up little Weber Canyon. It was very nice. We spent the afternoon at Smith and Moorehouse Reservoir. Torrey wanted to fish and I thought it would be fun to take the boys out in the rubber raft we have. Well, the fishing sucked and the boys did NOT enjoy being in the raft with me. We didn't even get out far enough to loose sight of the bottom of the water. BUT once the boys were allowed to play in the water, they were wearing life jackets, they had a BLAST! It turned out to be a fun afternoon.
That night we put up our tent, and attempted to all sleep. The boys wouldn't go down, it was atleast 10pm before they settled. But, they finally did, and Torrey and I stayed up and watched the fire and the AMAZING stars in the sky. Before we got into the tent with the boys we scared away a HUGE racoon attempting to get INTO the tent! At sometime during the dark hours, Monkey (too scared to get up) peed in the tent. Torrey got soaked and moved him and moneky to the trailer (permanently parked at the lots). I knew they were gone and had a VERY realistic dream of a racoon getting into the tent with me and Bob-a-loo. Luckily it was just a dream! At 7am the temperature was 40-degrees! Too bad we had to come back to the 100-degree valley! We all lived, and despite the craziness, had a good time. Ahh, the joys of summer!

Attempt to Promote!

ALRIGHT! I have just made a huge decision regarding my USborne books business. I have decided to promote to Supervisor! This is going to be quite a challenge! I have to get some bookshows on my schedule and get some friends to join me in helping others get fabulous books into their homes! I'm really excited and I think I can do this! Anyone else want to have their own business with these fabulous books? Starting August 1, a starter kit (worth $173) is only $15 and FREE SHIPPING! But only till August 10, apparently you have to act quickly! I'm so excited about this. It's like it was ment to be for me to start this right now!

Scofield Tri

July 18, 2009
Scofield Sprint Triathlon
750 meter swim, 12 mile bike, 5 km run
completed 2:07:15

I'm the one in the green cap.... you can't tell, really? I'm to the left of the lady in white... still can't tell, sorry!

Well the swim kinda kicked my butt. I should have been atleast 5 minutes faster, but I couldn't get myself to swim freestyle. Hey, I finished!

The bike was actually pretty good. The only really big hill was right out of transition, I ran up it with the bike, like everyone else! That's why this picture is with me walking the bike, that's what I did the first 100 feet. T1 was really smooth, I shaved atleast 30 seconds off the last Tri.

T2 was also pretty smooth; of with the bike shoes, on with the running shoes, hat, gu, drink, and run! Too bad the run wasn't that smooth. I did, however, run most of it. I only walked like 3 or 4 times. I also had to stop to fix my shoe, I was getting a blister and half of my foot was asleep. I still couldn't pick up the pace, I was really, really slow!

The best part was Monkey waiting to run across the finish line with me! He was so sweet! He held my hand and ran as fast as he could with me to finish! I got myself a medal and a water bottle! It was fabulous!

I'm hooked! I LOVE triathlons! Who knew pushing yourself beyond measure would be fun! I guess I'm a glutten for punishment. I'll be happy to share my pain with all who want to join me, it's fun!

A bunch of Crap!

We're staying with my inlaws in Alpine this weekend. This morning my boys got up early and were quite loud. So I thought I'd get them out of the house and go for a walk. Of course, we didn't get out until they woke everyone, but we were obligated to walk. We got to the corner and Monkey went to pickup a feather, so he stopped the parade behind him. As we started to walk again the strangest thing happened. I was POOPED on by a buzzard in the tree above. Yep, I have white poop all over my shoulder, front and back, and the top of the stroller has poop spots too. Total yuck! And I was wearing my new scofield tri t-shirt. Stupid bird!

I did finish my triathlon yesterday! It was so fabulous! I cut down my time from the last tri by 7 minutes! More details to come!

Update!

I'm still here. I keep forgetting to put photos up of the boys (we don't have internet at home so I have to remember to bring them with me wherever I go, and I don't usually remember). They're growing fast and furiously! And doing some fun things!
Monkey is now into pretend. He can play for hours with a couple toys downstairs. I LOVE IT! I don't have to entertain him at all. bob-a-loo, on the ohter hand, isn't as easy. He doesn't mind playing by himself, too much, but he does like to get into things. If I'm not carefully watching him I'm usually in for a BIG surprise!
We're still on the job hunt and trying not to suffer too much. On the same note, I'm TRYING to get my Usborne Books going again, just to try to get some additional income. If anyone's interested in doing a homeshow (party) or joining my team ( you can make some extra $, get out once in a while, and help other get awesome books) just let me know, I'd love to help you!
I'm doing another Tirathlon this weekend, Scofield Tri. I'm way excited and a little nervous. I'll post more pics when it's done!

Bad news

Well, Unfornutely about a month ago Torrey lost his job due to lay offs. I should have expected it when he would tell me that he had NOTHING to do at work. For atleast 2 or 3 weeks he was just going into the office to be there if anything came up.

He has had 1 interview for a position in Salt Lake. Two more interviews are coming up, one in Lincoln, Nebraska and the other in Denver, Colorado. Any job will do, although we will be sad to move. BUT we're always up for some adventure! (secretly I've been wanting to move back to Colorado, so we'll just have to see what happens!)

Pleas keep us in your prayers! This is such a stressful situation.
