TRIATHALON

Several weeks ago we went with our friends Matt and Mandy and their kids Caroline and Will, to the Neshoba County Fair. We went so that Danny could do the Heart O' Dixie Triathalon. He had been training for awhile and then could not register because it was full. Well, about a week before the triathalon he got a call that they were acccepting more people. He ended up being number 427 out of 431. With a 5 second interval start, that meant he was starting about 34 minutes after the first person. He had to wait a long time!!! Matt was out of the water and on his bike by the time Danny was just getting in the water. It was a lot of fun for Mandy and I. We got the girls up really early (5:45) and got to the start right on time! After Danny was out of the water we took off to drive to the next location. We missed them at the bike transition so that we could see them running. Mandy's grandparents live on the road that they run on to get the the fair grounds. So we waited out in the yard to cheer our guys on to the finish.....and to feed the girls and have a bathroom break. The guys did a great job and we are so proud of them! Way to go DANNY! Waiting for Daddy to get into the water!


And he is OFF!!!

Abby was very concerned about Daddy swimming with the Alligators!!!

Finished with the 1/2 mile Swim and now time to get ready for the Bike.

Cow Appreciation Day!!

We LOVE Chick-fil-a! I think Abigail could go there everyday for lunch if she could. Not only do they have great food, they are an amazing company! The company is very grounded in Christ, closed on Sundays, awesome to employees, always courteous to patrons and very supportive of FCA! So...we love it for more than the food!! On with the cows.........Anna called Friday morning and said lets dress the girls like cows and go to Chick-fil-a for cow appreciation day...of course I said yes immediately. They were the cutest cows ever and because they were dressed up as cows they received their food for free. It was fun seeing all the people dressed as cows....no Anna and I did not dress up! The girls were not still for long so I only have one good picture. Anna got a few more...they are on her blog! I just wish I would have taken a picture of their backside...they had the cutest cow tails!!!! Thanks for such a great lunch date GIRLS!

Abigail and Caroline

Abigail and Caroline love to play together and looking alike makes it even more fun! Mandy and I made pants for the girls that matched and I monogrammed some cute tank tops from Target...and now you have to adorable girls loving every moment of looking alike. I was getting ready to go run errands with the girls and asked them to get their stuff ready and stand by the door...this is what I found. Too cute. They had their babies and bags all ready for the "trip".

Two peas in a pod!

A while back we went to the Renaissance Mall for an Art Festival. Of course the best thing about it was playing in the water. Sweet Will was with us...but I did not get any pictures of him. Sorry buddy. I captured a few sweet pictures of the girls having a blast. I love the smiles and laughter you can capture from children!!!!!
