More Injuries

So, I don't think David's debut of Stake Flag Football bid him very well.

I don't think his thumb looks quite right, do you? The joys of church ball... H/H!

Bountiful Triathlon

David, his mom, and his brother, completed their first Triathlon in August, in Bountiful, UT. They all did so well and really enjoyed the experience. This was a sprint triathlon, and the swim was actually done last. It was kind of a chilly day though, so they didn't mind. We had so much fun watching them and cheering them on. They trained so hard to be ready for this day.


5 K Run

10 mile bike
Sorry, no pics of the swim... 350 Yd. Swim

The Fan Club

So, the race wasn't perfect. David actually got hit by a car during the bike portion of the race! He was only 1 1/2 miles into the ride, and a Dodge Ram Truck swerved over suddenly to get to a Garage Sale, hitting David in the process.

Thank goodness he was okay and he was still able to finish the race. He just got some bumps and bruises and road rash. Overall, he is way better off then he could have been. Thankfully, he was wearing Jordan's clip in shoes to the bike, because they were pretty rock solid around the foot. David's foot actually got run over, so if he had not had those shoes, it could have really hurt his foot. He was a little stiff and sprained or strained his ankle, but amazingly still wants to do another race. Pretty Crazy!

GO COUGS!

GO COUGARS!

What more can be said? Here are highlights from the BYU vs. OU football game:





"Rah, Rah, Rah-Rah-Rah, GOOOOO COUGARS!"

What an awesome stadium! We were not able to be there, but some of my family got to go. My parents rooted for BYU, even being from Oklahoma!

"Party Like It's 1999"

Edmond Santa Fe High School 10 Year Reunion

Part of our Oklahoma trip included my high school reunion. What a trip down memory lane! I didn't really know what to expect, but we had a lot of fun, and I was so glad we went. David was such a good sport to "relive" all the glory days with some old friends. By the end, he even admitted to having a good time and feeling like he knew some of the people.

FAMILY DAY

One of the activities included a tour of our high school, with our famous janitor, "Santa Fe Sam." He took us all around to show us how the school had changed and stayed the same. It was pretty impressive. Santa Fe has come a long way since we were there. We were the first class to make it a 4 year high school. There was a pretty good turnout at all of the events. Out of a class of 333, we had about 75 at the family day and over 100 people at each of the other 2 events.


Adam loving those statues. GO WOLVES!

Oak Tree Semi-Formal Banquet

David and I got to go to a semi-formal event at Oak Tree Country Club. It was so much fun to get all dressed up and go together. I felt like we were going to Prom, only with my greatest companion ever and forever!

Reacquainting with old friends. I loved catching up with everyone!!

Coach's Mixer

The other activity was a mixer at Coach's. It was a more relaxed setting. I was glad we went to all the events so that we could see different people we might not have been able to see.

I have a lot of good memories from high school and love the good people who surrounded me. I am so glad everyone seems to be happy and well and living such wonderful lives! It was fun for me to reflect back on those years of my life and how they contributed to who I am today.

"No, David!"

So, while we were in OK, my mom introduced Adam to this book. It soon became Adam's absolute favorite. Every time we would read it, pretty enthusiastically, David would hear his name and be reminded of his childhood...H/H! "No, David, this" or "Don't do that David", or "Stop, David!" etc... Adam got a kick out of it, since he knows his Daddy's name, and we all got a good laugh. I don't think David wants us to purchase the book though, just a hunch:)

Okla "HOME" a

We loved being able to spend a week with Nauni and Papa Jones! We were able to relax and do a lot of fun things while we were there.

WOW, what a treat!! We drove up to Tulsa and got to see "Wicked". It was absolutely amazing and we just loved it. We were thankful we had a great baby sitter for Adam, so we could go and enjoy the show with my Mom and Dad. We would definitely recommend this show to all of you!

THE OKLAHOMA CITY ZOO

We spent one day at the OKC Zoo. It is a great zoo. We were even able to see a baby zebra that was only 11 days old.

I think Adam thought he needed to climb up on every statue while we were there. He really liked those. Papa Jones also bought him a shirt with bats on it that glows in the dark. It is one of Adam's favorite shirts now. He always asks for his "bat shirt" and then takes you into the laundry room where it is "so dark" and shows you how it "gows in dark". It is cute. Thanks Papa Jones!
My favorite part of the OKC Zoo is the Cat Walk. You walk through Bamboo trails and feel like you are right next to the tigers and other cats, because you can barely see the fences that are separating you from them! It is pretty cool.

Adam ruling the roost as usual, even at Nauni and Papa Jones'
Papa Jones' Work
We went for lunch with Papa Jones one day and went and fed all the geese. Usually there are over 100 geese out there, but today there were only a few. It was fun to chase after them though and see Papa Jones' office.

Nauni and Adam. We also got to spend some time at Nauni's school where she was getting her classroom ready.

It was great to be home!

Disneyland

"The Happiest Place on Earth"
What would Disneyland be without Mickie and Minnie Mouse?

When we were in CA at the beach, we spent a day at Disneyland and California Adventure. It was so much fun!! Since I wasn't able to ride many of the rides, I had a blast just exploring and discovering with Adam. There was so much for us to do that I didn't feel like I missed out on anything. Our favorite ride was "Soaring Over California", but we just loved everything.

TOON TOWN
Adam and I spent a lot of time at Toon Town. Who knew that a fountain of water could keep a kid so occupied?



Adam especially loved "driving" the rocket. I think he felt pretty cool being able to control it going up and down all by himself.

Carousel

Tea Cup Ride

I think we wore this little guy out! It was such a fun and jam packed day, we all were pretty exhausted. We stayed late for the electric light parade and fireworks, which were a lot of fun.
