Go Shawn!

THE RUN

Shawn did a triatlon last weekend in beautiful Santa Barbara! The whole family came out to cheer him on. We also got a chance to really envy everyone that gets to live in beautiful places. As we drove back to Hanford we mourned our residence =(

THE BIKE

THE SWIM

Gotta love phelps!

Who else is getting into this? My whole family loves this guy. We all scream and yell at the T.V.

I love summer!

Josiah just bought his first dog....a 3 month old aussie/german shepard mix. He named her Clarin and we have all enjoyed her thus far

Summer is coming to a close for us. First Grade has begun at our kitchen table and soccer practice starts tommorrow, but here's a few pictures from the last month! We went to Crystal Cave in Sequoia National Park. The kids loved all the stalagmites and stalactities (sp?)...do you see them in the picture? Also, my own little Micheal Phelps got 17th place at the valley finals in freestyle...5th place in backstroke...and his stud relay team got 2nd place.

We are really becoming "valley folk" these days. This is a typical summer activity here in Hanford...rafting down the local river =)
