June 2013 It's Hot Here!

I can’t believe June is already over!  I’m trying to remember everything we did! We got to take a trip into Oakland to visit the LDS temple.  It was perfect weather and nice to go visit somewhere new.  We got to take turns with Cooper in the visitor’s center there and the Sister Missionaries all fawned over Cooper who flirted with all of them. I also had a race! I did an Olympic Triathlon with a friend.  I started by swimming a mile in lake at Rancho Seco Park just outside of Sacramento.  The relay teams started last with the older athletes, these people were in some serious shape! I really had to step it up and work hard to keep up with them. I finished in 30 minutes, and then my friend biked 24 miles in about an hour and 15 minutes.  Then I ran 6.6 miles in about an hour and 3 minutes!  I was tired but it was a good challenge.  I love doing triathlons; it’s nice to mix it up with something else besides just running.

 My parents stopped through a couple times on their way to and from my sisters in Oregon.  It is nice to live near them again; it’s been about 7 years since I lived this close.  I made my dad run a 9 mile run with me when he was here. J He definitely helped me keep my pace up.  We will be running a half marathon together in about a month! They had one of my nephews with them when they came through and we had some free tickets to the Modesto Nuts game so we took them!  We had a blast watching them play; they farm out for the Colorado Rookies.  We also got to meet my niece for the 1^st time!  She and Cooper are only about 3 months apart; they are going to be besties!

Lynn is working a lot but he seems to be getting a more regular schedule now, which is nice.  He was working about 10 days straight at a time but now he is doing 5 on and 2 off.  Right now his days off are Monday’s and Tuesday’s so our weeks are a little off sometimes.  Oh, and it has been in the 100's! We stay inside in the AC most of the day.

Cooper is growing up too fast.  He is a speed crawler.  Trying to sweep or clean without him getting into my stuff is like a speed test every time.  He has 8 teeth now, is sleep through the night for the most part, and walks along anything he can reach.  He also loves to pull things off shelves or out of drawers.  He especially enjoys pulling all the clothes out the laundry baskets! He talks almost non-stop and always uses his hands to explain.  We have no clue with he is telling us but he sure has a lot to say! We bought him a little swimming pool of his own that he can cool off in and splash around in.  We took him to the city pool and he loved it!
