Tennis Graduate

Cooper finished his first Quickstart Tennis session. For being the youngest in his class he sure does have a good swing!
Leila thinks she's part of the class because she has a teeny racket and chases the tennis balls, so she snuck in the team picture.

Jesse's First Marathon

First of all, who has energy to do this: at the end of a marathon? Only Jesse.

And here is our sweet Miss Jessica (or just her bum) finishing strong:

Finish time for Jesse was 4:34! I'd say pretty good for his first marathon EVER!


I'll give Jesse the option of giving you all the mile-by-mile breakdown later.

Opposites Attract

I feel like nothing could be further apart right now than my present physical ability and Jesse's. I wouldn't have said that when we got married. Not that he wasn't a hunk then as now. But I was a kick-a climber (at least in my mind) and I attempted surfing once. We were on equal planes. Not now. Jesse trains every day for the Ironman and I.... well lets just say I'm dedicating my life right now to our 4th child and it feels like my life is slowly being squeezed out of my body.

Example: Jesse finishing the Kokopelli triathlon (olympic distance) and knocked 30 minutes off his previous time. And me? Well I almost passed out waiting 30 min. for him to finish.
P.S. This triathlon was 2 WEEKS before the marathon. He just said it was "part of his training" Congratulations Jesse on your 2:40 finish :) I vow that someday I'll be done having babies. That's my vow. (What? Did you expect me to vow to do an Ironman? No Way!)
