Random catch up...

So I'm a little behind.  I was going through pics and found some great ones from March.  So I figured that since April is almost over, I should probably post these.

We were able to go to the Fire Station with our neighborhood play group.  It was heaven for my boys!

Thunder kept telling the kids that there were tadpoles in the stream near work, so we headed over there one afternoon to catch one.

The kids were fabulous spectators...

...and kept thinking of ways to try to help.

We caught something- though it's not a tadpole!  We put it in the tank with our other fish. Too bad it died a few days later!  We think Elmo, our beta fish, was getting in a last kill before he then passed away.  We actually had a little funeral for Elmo a couple weeks ago.

We also went to a great neighborhood Easter Egg hunt.  We got there right when it started so the kids didn't get first pick, but they were still stoked!

And a few more random pics... this is how our kids prefer to eat applesauce. Yes, with straws.

And we continued our April Fools tradition of eating "dessert" first, followed by "dinner."   These "cookies" were actually chicken cookies.  I just made them up using Bisquick, chicken, and Cream of Chicken soup, and they were pretty good.

And then the main course? Tacos (fruit!).  These were so yummmmmmmy.  They are called Tricky Tacos and I found the idea here.

10 months old!

OK, so this post is a bit late... the little dude is almost 11 months old!  Oh well.... the pics were just so hard to get off the camera.  You know how it is.

So little Sunrise is 10 months old (and a little overexposed, I might add).

Since he started growing teeth (he now has 2) he has decided he doesn't like to nap anymore.

He does the "gimp crawl," with two hands, one knee and one foot on the floor (pic at the end).

He babbles constantly, though he says few real words.  "Mama" "dada," and a don't-put-me-in-my-crib-for-a-nap SCREAM!

He is enjoying his new independence found through crawling...

... and scooting...

... and pulling things over.

How do they know just how to pull on something to make it plop on the floor?

He is growing toooooo fast!!!!

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is the Gimp Crawl.

If at first you don't succeed, tri tri again!

About a year and a half ago, Thunder participated in his first Triathalon.  He did it with R.H. (who will hereafter be called Nighthawk).  They hired a new guy (Tiny) at work and decided that doing another triathalon would be a great initiation to the company!

The swim was held inside the American Fork Rec center.  It was nice and warm in there!

Tornado and Sunrise played a fun game called "I steal your pacifier and you try to get it back."

This year the boys had a team name- TNT, for Thunder, Nighthawk and Tiny.

The biking portion had 2 laps and here is Thunder finishing the first lap.

The kids enjoyed the big open fields and sunshine!

Here comes Nighthawk, finishing his biking, and heading to the transition area.

Here comes Thunder!

Go TNT!

Here is Tiny heading into the transition area, getting ready to run the 3 mile loop.

Here comes Thunder in for the finish!

Wahoo, way to go!  He finished with a time of 1 hr. 34 minutes.

And here comes Tiny!  Way to go guys!!
