Well June has just flown by and we're now feeling like it's summer! It's been a long time coming as the temps have been more in the "moderate" not "hot" range. :-) We started June with our 11th anniversary. It was a real treat because Deana and Jay took the kids from noon sat. til after lunch sunday. What did we do? We went for a round of golf, late dinner, up early for a bike ride then for an open water swim. It was a real treat as we usually don't get to do many of these things together anymore. We were so busy in that 24 hours that we didn't have much time to think about kids but it sure was nice to get them back! :-) They did great at "Levi's house" and didn't even ask for us!
One of the big points of the month for us was the 5430 sprint triathlon that we both did. It was a 1/2mile outdoor swim, 17 mile bike and 3mile run. Not too long so we were able really enjoy it. The weather was perfect and once again...we had a sitter come at the break of dawn so we could both go. It was my first time doing this particular triathlon and all went smooth....after I got the goat head out of my foot that is...I stepped on it in the water right before we started. Boy, did I have a bruise the next morning! We had pretty good times and now have something to beat for next year.
As I write this I should be packing. We're gone from June 27-July 12th to Canada. We are attempting to drive this time...should be interesting with the three kids. SK is our first destination and then we'll do the drive to AB for 5 days or so. The kids are soooo excited...I just want to make it without pulling out my hair! :-)
We hope you all have a good 4th of July and Canada Day and we'll update you on how the trip went when we get back!

June 1, 2009
May has slipped by and not sure where it went! We've had a busy month between end of school activities, end of extra-curricular and training. It's been busy! Our weather hasn't been that co-operative as far as nice weekends so we've been trying really hard to get our training in on those days that are "ok". This is the price we pay for our beautiful winter. :-)
We've had a generally quiet month as far as weekend business, but as far as the week days flying by...wow, they sure have. We've both been training for triathlons and just recently ran the Bolder Boulder (10k race) and did a local sprint tri in Longmont. Our BB running times were good...we met our goals and the triathlons went well too. Weather co-operated. We now have 3 weeks off until the next ones in June. Swimmers ear has made Janelle a little hesitant to swim but has since recovered and hopefully won't see that problem again.
Once we get through June we'll be making a trip up to Canada for a couple weeks. It'll be nice to go up in the summer as we haven't been up to SK at that time of year for 6 years! Since the next post will be due when we're on vacation it may be late...we'll see! Enjoy June!
