Go Sheldon Go!

On Friday we drove up to St. George for Sheldon to compete in a triathlon on Saturday morning. It was a short but sweet trip we drove back home after the race was over. Easton did so great in the car! 8 hours there and 8 hours back! Sheldon has been training so hard for this race! It was an Olympic triathlon which is a 1 mile swim, 26 mile bike ride and then finished off with a 6 mile run! Sheldon did such a great job, smiling the whole way through!!! As I watched the swim I had so much anxiety, thinking of all the terrible things that could happen. Someone could kick him in the head and he could drown you know crazy things like that! Why would he put me through this!! It didn't help when he kissed me before the race started and said, " This could be the last time you see me." Not funny Sheldon, not funny at all. But it was such a cool experience to watch him I was so proud of him! Not to mention he looked pretty dang sexy in that tri suit!! I'm not gonna lie I was checkin out those nice buns , but hey I'm allowed to right! He is after all my husband and whats his is mine! :) We woke up that morning at 4:30 to get ready so we could make it early to get a parking spot. Sheldon was running on about 4 hours of sleep!! Crazy! He finished the race in 3 hours and 29 mins!! Pretty amazing! Here are some nice pictures of my man in action! Before the race begins, a nice photo opt.

My studly man before the race begins looking stylish in his green swim cap. You should wear this more often!!


Getting ready to start off the race with a one mile swim!

Way to go Sheldon!
Alli- I have to admit that I blog stock you also. It's so bad! I have wanted to make a comment on how cute your little Easton is, but I didn't know if you would remember me or not and I didn't want to feel dumb, so I am glad that you made a comment!! I know Sheldon's family (in fact I ran into his mom today at the store) they are the nicest people! Anyways, your little boy is DARLING!! I love those cheeks!! When I read about your delivery story I felt your pain. We have similar stories! I was in labor for 24 hours also. SO TIRING!!! I didn't think Craig was going to ever come out either! I pushed for 5 LONG hours and finally he decided he was ready! I was so tired but it was SO worth it! You look like you are loving being a mom! Isn't it the best? You are so cute with your little boy, and I love his name! It is so cute!! Your family is so sweet!
Thanks again for making a comment!
