Yet Another Day at the Races

Well another race down, only two more to go this year!! Russ and his friend Randy (a.k.a. Hannah's boyfriend) competed in the Taming of the Slough this past weekend and....TOOK SECOND PLACE! They were pretty excited about it, and I must admit that I am too. I didn't even think they were contenders to place cuz there are a lot of people out there who make these races their life. It was a 2 mile canoe, 2 mile run, and 7 mile mt. bike ride. Their trophies are pretty sweet too. You can see them in the pic, but they are made out of giant pieces of rock. I made the mistake, before I saw the trophies, of suggesting that he let Hannah have it. I totally thought that they would be those lame trophies with the bowling man/business man/sports figure on top. Russ wasn't too happy with me for that suggestion.

Hannah had tons of fun just hanging out in the canoe while we took some pictures. Russ really wanted to take her out on the river in the canoe, but unfortunately we couldn't find any life vests for someone so small. If any of you have any we could borrow sometime that would be great!


So after church on Sunday Russ had a meeting so we had to stick around for awhile and wait for him. Our friends husband was in the same meeting and the children were getting pretty restless, so she had the brilliant idea of shutting them in that little foyer area in between the two sets of doors. Such a great idea. They could run around to their hearts content, and we couldn't hear them screaming.

Our church is across the street from a giant corn field and Hannah has always wanted to go and play in the "corn trees." We finally got the chance and she had so much fun!

And here's Emma being her cute self. She is getting so big, and changing every day. She almost rolled over yesterday and I about died. She loves to talk to her sister, and gets so excited every time she sees her.
