Our Weekend at the Cabin

Noah and I spent the weekend at the cabin in Brian Head with the fam. I took him tubeing which he was extremely excited about at first. As he was pulled up the hill, he clapped and waved at me all stoked. However he soon became terrified, as he was pushed down one of the really steep, really long tubeing hills. The staff at the tubeing hills won't allow you to ride more than one person in a tube, even with little ones. So Noah was all alone in his tube, screaming as it went down the hill. By the time he made it to the bottom he was looking at me like, why would you do that to me, and saying, "mom, help me!" I felt really bad! Anyways he loves the snow and will play in it for hours regardless of how cold it is. Such a tough guy! I can only hope he forgets the traumatic tubeing incident as there will surely be many more trips to the cabin this year! We love the cabin and I can hardly wait for him to get big enough to get on a snowboard!

Blonder!

So it is getting warmer outside and blonder sounded fun! Not too drastic, but blonder.-Carrie

Training For IRON GIRL!!

So I have signed up for a sprint triathlon! It is called the Iron Girl and it is on April 12th out at Lake Las Vegas. A sprint triathlon is a about half of everything you would do in a normal triathlon. So it is about a 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike ride and 3 mile run, in that order. My sister Natalie and Nate's wife Sarah are doing it with me! I am pretty excited about it but a little nervous as well. The swim is in Lake Mead and it is going to be pretty cold so I will be wearing a wet suit. Hopefully I won't freeze to death! My goal with the swim is to not sustain any injuries, I have heard that people can get crazy at the start and I can totally see myself getting kicked in the face within the first two minutes of this thing! So I am going to try and not let that happen. I have been taking spin classes at the gym, which has been really fun actually, to prepare for the biking part and I am borrowing a road bike that I plan to start training on within the next week. And as for the run, I just hope I have enough energy to make it to the finish line! Just after the race is over Nat, Sarah and I have foot massages and pedicures scheduled at the spa! I totally think we deserve it. So I should have lots of pictures coming soon from the Iron Girl. Wish me luck!-Carrie
