I tri.

Some of my very best friends and I had the WONDERFUL experience of competing in the Casa Grand Sprint triathlon last month. I was so proud of all us moms! I want to document a little about the race just for my own memory, so feel free to stop reading now :)

Swim-625 yds

Bike-10.2 miles

Run 3.4 miles

The week and a half prior to the race I was at the doctor twice with bronchitis and on two different antibiotics. It was so disappointing to not be able to give it my all, especially after all the training we did. Either way is was a great experience and I am excited to do another one. I have been missing all the girls nights at the pool. I have to say I have such great friends here in Arizona, I never thought I would meet so many amazing girls when I moved here. I feel very blessed and I love them A LOT!

Halloween Festivities

We spent another fun Halloween with the Gould's this year, and some of their really fun friends. I still cant get over that kids can run around in tank tops and flip flops on Halloween. Poor Laney was sweatin like crazy! So here is most of the girl gang with the exception of Mable and Sadie.

Elle wanted to be a pirate princess, her heart has been set on it for about 6 months. Laney was Foofa from Yo Gabba Gabba (her favorite) and Ray if you could not tell was a dentist :)

These pictures will probably all look the same but they are from Halloween night, our ward trunk or treat and Elle's school party!

 Laney and her new friend Davis were so adorable!

  Here is the other Dr. Evers-hahaha

 A couple shots from Elle's school party.

She was so excited to watch the parade-if you cant tell!

Hey Hey RAY

IS ONE

My sweet little (big) boy is one already! Serisouly the happiest little guy ever! Although I have been starting to see a little stinker side come out in him lately. He does not like to be messed with by his sisters or have things ripped out of his hands at all! Other then those things he is pretty much the most easy going and wonderful baby boy in the world! Here are some pictures from his special day!

We decided to go to the pumpkin patch to celebrate, we all had a really fun time! Our neighbor and best buds came to help us celebrate. Ray loves Janna probably as much as me. That is the only other time he will whoop it up-when Janna leaves and does not take him with her :) We have the best neighbors EVER-just sayin!

Dinner at "RAY'S" favorite restaurant

Texas Roadhouse. He did love the rolls!

  Thought I would throw a picture in of my sweet boy on his actual first birthday. He was such a big dude!

Laney Girl

My Laney Girl had her first day of ballet last week. She did not do very much, but got in the car and has wanted to go to ballalet (not a typo) ever since! We are so lucky to have Laney's best buddy right next door. These two are a funny pair. They kind of remind me of an old married couple. They like to bark orders at each other, bicker, and tease, but hate being apart for very long (at least that is how Lane feels) :). So here are the girls showin us their skills.
