Mother's Day 2014

last week the kids got their hair cut --- and a little silly spray too.

 my little pony "Rainbow Dash" hair according to Jillian :) and a nice photobomb too!

one of my biggest fears in a triathlon --- a flat tire!  Last Tuesday, I was riding on my trainer... and about 30 minutes into my ride the resistance seemed much harder.  I knew my legs were tired from the back to back marathons last weekend, but not THAT tired.  I leaned back and felt the tire! - it was flat.  So I got off the bike and pumped up the tire.  20 minutes later - flat tire again!  So, I went digging in my tri-bag to find my bento box with my repair kit that I carry with me.  Then I decided to time myself to see how long it would actually take me to change the flat tire ---- 24 minutes - ugh!  That would be a lot of race time wasted!  BUT I DID it!  I successfully changed the flat tire!  ... and i'll be sure to add a couple of wet wipes to my bento box --- my hands were filthy!  :)
 On Mother's Day, my kids (and husband) knew they wouldn't find me in bed --- so when I got up at 4:15am to get in my 3.5 hour ride and 30 minute brick run before church - this is what I found on my bike :)  They know me so well :)
 
 a nice story from Helen
 Legs felt pretty good after a 3.5 hour bike ride!
 Shopping @ the Amish store on Saturday
 I saw this on a friend's Facebook page
 Another story by Helen - I love how she spells "famuly"
