Ironman




Well this past week has been super busy! T is having a great time in soccer class and A loves going and running around watching her "Bubba" do soccer. As for our weekend Aunt Mimi came up and we went to a carnival in our neighborhood with our cousins and then today finished out the weekend with watching Jeff and our friend Brian complete the Austin Longhorn Half Ironman. For those of you who don't know what an ironman is let me tell you...it's 70.3 miles that include a swim, bike, and a run (half marathon run at that!). We are so proud of boy guys. This is Jeff's
3rd completed half ironman. The kiddos are getting really good at spectating at these events. Aunt Mimi and I agree that we need more family though to help out at these events. Unfortunately they couldn't make it this time so we did it alone and realized how much we do appreciate them there ;-). As for the athletes, what an accomplishment!!! Jeff and T crossed the finish line together, this was a first at the half ironman for Jeff to have T cross with him...maybe a new tradition? Maybe a look into the future for the full ironman that he is signed up for in Kentucky next September??? We shall see...
