Right after Lydia's 7th birthday, she finally lost her first tooth. Her permanent tooth was almost completely in behind it. The Tooth Fairy was very generous with this first, long awaited tooth. Lydia got $2 and a candy bar!

June Racing
Tim participated in his first triathlon at the beginning of June. It was a 3.2 mile run (5k), an eight mile bike, ending with a 400 meter swim. Tim finished in about 1 1/2 hours. He did a great job!
Then mid June I participated in the Wasatch Back Ragnar with some of my closest friends. Our team name was "Running Fools" and our mascot was Mr. T. My team of 12 women covered 200 miles in 32 hours. I was runner 4. My first leg was 5.2 miles mid day in the heat and uphill. It was my hardest leg, but I did it! My second leg was 4.5 miles, 11:00 at night and flat. It was much easier and I ran the entire leg! My last leg was mostly downhill, 3.1 miles and in the morning. I completed that one with relative ease. Ragnar was an amazing experience. It was so neat to have the support van following me and encouraging me all along the way. I wanted to do well for my team, but always felt my best was good enough. When I felt I wanted to quit, they cheered me on. On the last leg my family also came to see me run and I could tell they were so proud of me. I got about 3 hours of sleep during the trip, but it was worth every cent, sore muscle, and waking moment. Thanks to my team for letting me be a part of it!

Independence Day!
The Fourth of July has become my favorite holiday...yes, even surpassing Christmas. We started the day off with, what else, the Provo Freedom Parade. Thank you to the Wiley's for allowing us to tag along!
Next we headed to Uncle Lynn and Aunt Merrily's house for a bbq, waterslides, and of course some fireworks! Bryant almost touched a sparkler to a cousin's face, so he sat the rest of the time. We had a great time though and we love spending time with family!

Lydia's 7th birthday
Uncle Andy and Aunt Stephanie's family was in town for Lydia's 7th birthday. We went to Bridal Veil Falls, had a pic nic, and waded in the stream. Then we came back home and had fruit pizza and opened some presents!
The next day Lydia had a Rock Star friend party. Tim was the bouncer that only allowed the VIP guests in. The kids rocked out to Just Dance 2 and got their faces painted. We ended with a little fireworks show.
Happy birthday to our lovely Lydia! We love you!!

Lydia wins a bike
Yep, Lydia won a bike at school. Lindon Elementary gave away one bike to the lower grades and one bike to the upper grades for perfect attendance. My lucky girl got it! It was the next size up from the one she has and it was perfect for her. She's on a winning streak. Maybe I should take her to Vegas.
Bryant is 2
That's right folks, my baby is 2 now. We went to Monkey Island and he had a blast! He had not fear and went on all the big slides. He often landed on his face, but he just laughed and kept going. He is all boy. While both girls often came to me with a bump or a burn, he played to his hearts content. He loved opening his presents, and of course we had cake. We had to relight the candles about a dozen times because he wanted to blow them out again and again. Bryant is saying more words and even some sentences. He is a picky eater, but will eat some traditional kiddie foods like mac and cheese, ramen noodles, hot dogs, and pizza. He prefers to be outside playing with a ball or in the water. He smiles and laughs a lot and he is a clown. He is very entertaining to the rest of us. We love you baby boy!
Lydia's last day of 1st grade
Last year Lydia was very sad when school was over for the year. This year she celebrated with the rest of the kids. She had a great year and loved her teacher. I think this time she realizes that there are good things to come next year too. She has a new teacher to the school, Mrs. Wright and several of her friends are in the same class. She is also excited to ride the bus with Ali this next year! We had a bus stop party and the kids loved it.
