Ya that's right, I'm signed up for a triathlon. I have been training for over 2 months now and it has been really fun. I still don't feel ready but I have a few more weeks. I've always been nervous to sign up for one because I worried about the swimming but I am really excited now that I have been training. The distances seem short, but put the 3 together and it is tough! Swim-first pool triathlon8-lane 50 meter Olympic pool
I just realized, as I sit here drinking my delicious chocolate milk (thought you'd like to know), that I always post after the weekend or about the weekend. Well here we go again. ha ha I guess that is when most of our fun happens. Well this weekend was a great busy weekend. All of the bros and their fams were in town for Chuck's farewell. He doesn't actually leave until the 24th of April but with all of the conferences and fast Sunday he had to have it now. The fun started on Friday when we were all able to go to the temple. It was such a neat experience to have our entire family in the Celestial room. Saturday we had an Easter egg hunt which was a blast. I got into it as much as the little kids. Sunday was the farewell, Chuck did awesome, it was pretty surreal when he was giving his talk. I can't believe he is old enough to go on a mission. Here is lil Scottie and his mama out getting some treats. Here are all the kids, it's crazy to see how big our family is getting. These kiddies are awesome. Now if any of you went to high school with me you probably remember my sweet car...okay maybe not. haha I drove a Mitsubishi Eclipse that had like 240,000 miles on it. Two of my brothers drilled holes into the muffler so that it sounded cool, loud, something. ha Also it had an awesome sound system. Anyways, all of us drove this car to high school. One brother is missing in the picture, but 6 kids, one car. And 5 of those drivers were boys so you can imagine how this car was treated. ha I still remember learning to drive it(it's a stick), thinking I was awesome with my sound system and shifting, being scared on big hills, killing it many a times, stuffing girls in there to go to games, the awesome beaded seat covers that my hair would get caught in, and trying to make out in this thing. (it's not a very roomy car.)haha Well the reason for this shout out is because my parents are getting rid of it since it is not needed. It's sad to see it go but I have so many awesome memories in this car, and well it's time. Anyways if you couldn't tell our weekend was awesome! Hope yours was too.
Crazy to think two years ago I was getting ready for my very own wedding day right now. I couldn't have made a better decision. I'm not one to express my feelings too often, but I love this man more and more all the time and I'm so grateful that he is mine forever.
This weekend was the Wasatch Cup at BYU. We go to pretty much all of the rugby and soccer games, they're free for us and are actually a lot of fun. One of Nate's best friends is on byu's rugby team and they played Utah. It was a big game and if I remember correctly winning the game takes them automatically to the sweet 16. Anyways, they won, which was awesome. We are totally wanting to go to the championship(road trip) which is always held at CAL-Berkeley. They won it last year and I think they can win again this year. Here is the field, it looked awesome considering the day before it was covered in snow. Group of friends holding the cup. The three boys, they are hillarious and I enjoy them being around, even when they eat all of our food. The joy of having mostly single friends. ha
So this past weekend I was really craving something sweet. I rarely bake and I don't buy treats either only because nate doesn't eat them and I know I'll end up eating all of them! Which I don't want to do. ha So I decided I wanted some delicious cupcakes and went in search for a recipe in blogger world. Don't you just love blogs, you can find anything! I saw a picture at this great blog and thought I'm so making those. Found the recipe from here and ended up halfing the recipe because of course I knew I would eat them all. It ended up making nine. Here is the frosting, which was so yummy. Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting. They were even good enough that Nate ate 4 and I'm sure you can guess who ate the rest....Photo from jpcreativedesign.blogspot.com
