Grammy and Poppa came over the next week and got Kenna a new sparkly dress

And a snuggy- something Kenna has asked for FOREVER!!!

Here is Makenna and Steven at the season opener Duke Football game.  They both had a GREAT time!!

Here are some pictures of Lexi playing soccer. Our little team is doing great.  Lexi has thrived with just girls to play against.  Hopefully next time I will have pictures of Kenna too!!

I had my big triathlon this week.  1 mile swim, 12 mile bike, 3.1 mile run.  I did better than I expected.  I finished 5th in my age group and 16th overall for the women.  I places 155 out of 1500 men and women!!! Here is my bike all ready for me to get too!

Steve was supposed to take pictures of the tri, he got the one of my bike, one of shoes, and one of my rear end.  He was too busy taking pictures of the wild chicken they found :)  (on his defense he said everytime he saw me he would cheer and forget to take a picture!)

Here is me and my fam after my race!!!

After the race we went to the beach!!  It was a beautiful.The kids really enjoyed themselves!!  Here they with tattoos from Miss Jill :)
