While Jeff and I were beginning to be concerned that we should convince Mom to go to Gordon's house, Devon and Logan built architectural wonders with the building blocks that we used to play with as kids. Impressive. Logan is demonstrating in gang sign the number birthday that he just celebrated (look at it from Logan's perspective).
And while we're mentioning birthdays, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY AIMEE!!!!!

Yea Carlie!!
Carlie (Fairbanks)Bainbridge has added a link to our blog. She's currently the sole representation from the Fairbanks (Toni) Clan. Have I guilted the rest of you to start adding on and keeping us appraised of your side? I hope so! We'd love to hear about your family as they grow, move, etc, etc.
Let me take this moment to tell you all how much I enjoy checking in on your blogs. You all do such cute stuff and I love watching the kids grow, hearing (or watching) the cute things they do or say, and your thoughts about life, parenting, family, etc. I check them all daily. Keep 'em coming!

Fourth Smourth... I Was Third!!!
I just got off the results section of the Hermosa Tri and found out that I was (unintentionally) misled... I was in fact 3rd in my age division! (So there were only 10 in my age division... small technicality) The awards ceremony had started but Mom and I were getting ready to leave. They were announcing close to my age division so I told Mom I wanted to hear the times of my group. Since I didn't have anything to compare it to, I was curious as to what typical times were. When they started announcing my division I was listening to the times and not the rank. The person announced before me had a time very close to mine. I was thinking that I wasn't too far off when I heard them announcing my name. After Mom and I pulled our jaws back up, she took the things out of my hands and I walked to the podium. When I got up there, there was only one spot open and that was the 4th place spot so I stood there. Only when they posted the results did I discover that I was actually 3rd! Mom got a picture of me on the podium but with her camera (not digital). I'll try scanning the picture when she gets it developed.
Thanks to everyone who called or emailed me good wishes. You have no idea how much that helps. Love you all!!!
Victory for Team Sydney
Hey Jenni, thanks for the well wishes. I loved it and it worked. I placed 4th (Yes, FOURTH) in my age division. Of course there were only 5 (heeheehee... don't really know but probably not much more than that). Mom came down and supported me throughout. The swim was brutal but the bike was fun. More later. For now, I need to go take a nap.
GOOD LUCK
Good luck to Aunt Syd on your triathlon tomorrow. We know you will do great and we hope you have fun too!!!
Halloween Hangman
I've been trying to get this game up for Aunt Syd but it is protected so that others can't access it unless visiting the website. Anyway, here's a link to the Halloween Hangman game.
