Tri in the Pines

We are so proud of you dad!!

Tri in the Pines

Aaron completed his first triathlon this weekend. The triathlon was called Tri in the Pines in Show Low. He and some friends have been training this summer so they could compete.

Crossing the finishing line

A tired athlete!!
We are so proud of him. He finished in about one hour and 37 minutes. The four friends all finished within 10 minutes of each other - which was alot of fun. Aaron is already talking about when he'll do the next one!

I started back to school this week. These pics were taken before we left on that first day. Kaden was accepted at the day care across the street from school. He had his first day on Tuesday. I tell him he is "going to school like mommy." He seems to be adjusting well. The teachers are so nice and friendly. I know he is going to learn a lot. I have to think positive or I cry every time I drop him off. Aaron is better at being tough about it. I just wish I was home...only 9 more months for this degree. Those of you who stay home are so lucky! I have chosen this path though and I love it, but it is so hard to leave my baby!!

This kid is NOT spoiled :)

Grandpa and Grandma Kurzawski bought this little tractor for Kaden. He had to get a tractor to be more like grandpa who has a riding lawn mower. He loves to drive it around their backyard. He looks like such a big boy!

Watermelon: YUM YUM

Kaden likes to eat watermelon, but what he loves even more is to squish watermelon. He will squeeze the piece of watermelon so it mushes through his fingers (and the juice is running all down his arm) and then he will eat it. You can see all the bits and pieces on the table waiting to be eaten.

Together at last

The family is reunited once again. We were so happy to see Kaden after being at Lake Powell for a week. This is his new "picture smile." He has fallen in love with the camera once again. Everyone laughed the first time he made this face. He knows it is funny now and we think it is pretty dang cute.

Tractors

I tell you, the kid LOVES tractors!! All he wanted to do was go sit on the tractor all day long.

Sucker!

Kaden loves suckers. He stole this one away from one of the cousins at the family reunion. He liked this color better than the first one he was given because daddy had it too.
