Send your Prayers

John 's dad, Ernie, is in the hospital and scheduled for a triple bi-pass on Monday afternoon. The doctor said he is a walking time bomb with 90% and 95% blockage so he will be staying in the hospital because of the risk. Please pray for him that he has a speedy recovery!

We love you Ernie and we are thinking of you!

Can you Tri?

John and I did our triathlon together this weekend-Jackson Country Tri at Longview Lake. Yes, John did beat me BUT I got 3rd in my age division. Granted there wasn't too many ladies in my age category but still I get a medal. That's pretty great in my book. I think I will continue to do longer tri's because we all know I'm not a sprinter- my Grandpa Pontious said it the best when I was in cc and track in high school- It doesn't matter if Julie does the 2 miler or the 800 her pace is the same.
John and I didn't see each other until I got to mile 1 of my run and he was at mile 4! he was in the first heat of the swim and I was in heat 4- he cheered me on when I had a mile left to go.

What will be our next race?? Should we do a longer tri? How about a Half Iron Man together? Ummmm. Maybe not!

Jack Jack

Is that Cabo? No, it's Jack- Jack!!

Utah to Boston

Our good friends Jared and Susan plus Jackson (their 1 1/2 yr old son) stopped by this weekend to visit us. Well, they are on their way from Utah to their new home -Boston!! We know Kansas City isn't really on the way, but they love us so much they had to stop (HAHHA!). Hopefully, John and I will make a visit to Boston to visit them! We never made it out to Utah, but we did make it to Florida with them.

Good luck with the drive this week!

Hot pink handle bars....

My bike was stolen this weekend while in Omaha visiting Michele and Chris (John's sister). Our bikes were in the truck and somewhere between midnight and 6AM my bike was taken- John's bike was untouched. I told him it's because my bike is cooler.
We had a bike race/event today so I used Michele's bike, which didn't last too long because the tires were old. I didn't even bike 1 mile and the back tire exploded. The cops that were volunteering in the intersection gave me a hard time about the bike. I then had to report to them about my bike being stolen (like they could help me)..... oh, how I will miss my hot pink handle bars. I told John that I felt bad for the bike - who knows what has happened to it now.

Pool fun at Uncle Jeff's.....

My nieces Ava and Addy are having some fun with Grandma Meyer at Uncle Jeff's!

My tri

The morning started off with a thunder storm but it cleared off and was a great day for a race. Cool- not too hot! I had a great time with the swim- it was about time. I took some advice from the lady next to me... calm your breathing before you get in the water!! What great/simple advice!! Still training for the next big event- John and I will be doing the Jackson County Tri at Longview Lake. Hopefully, his shoulder will get better!!
