Juliet turns one, triathlon and the splash park...

I have a million things to do because I'm leaving for New York tomorrow and it's Juliet's birthday today so I've been washing clothes and baking cakes and I haven't even purchased a gift for her yet but wanted to hurry and post a couple things before I left. (Can you sense the urgency in my run-on sentence?)

First of all, Merril ran the Utah Summer Games triathlon with his brother Jared. They are the 2 very white men in front. Jared more so than Merril.

And they're off! It was by sheer luck that I actually snapped the two of them as they started. I actually had to zoom way in on my computer so I could read the numbers on the swim caps to see if it was them. Otherwise, I'd never be able to tell. See how Jared's behind? That was pretty much the theme for the rest of the race.

Transition from the swim to the bike portion.

Biking back.The big finish!

Merril finished in 1 hour and 34 minutes, shaving 15 minutes off his previous triathlon time, and Jared finished in 1 hour and 53 minutes! They both did great for even being tough enough to compete! Good job boys!

Yesterday we went to the splash park in the middle of town and had lots of fun but it was mega hot! But the water was cool!

Juliet had lots of fun in the fountain!

Jacky liked the water stairs.

Well, we all had fun!

Oh, no needs to feel left out that you weren't invited to Juliet's 1st birthday because I'm only inviting Grandmas. (I've got too much to do today and throw a party too.) I'm going to have the chocolate and dessert party after I get back from New York and thought you could all wish her happy birthday then! I'm thinking the 25th of June! So I'll apologize with creme brulee and chcolate fondue. What? You've forgiven me already?
