Johnny's First Triathlon

Johnny had his first triathlon this morning over at the the Reunion Rec Center. He was first out of the pool and first off the bike. However, he took off running way too fast and puked a few hundred yards into the run! After a couple minutes of resting he took off and finished strong. Great job Johnny!!!

Allison's Surgery

Poor little Allison had surgery to fix her broken elbow this morning.  She spent about an hour and a half in the surgery, but did very well.  The Dr. said we were lucky we opted for it since there was a lot more soft tissue damage than the xray showed and also because the elbow was dislocated.  She is home now and starting the road to recovery.  The next step will be getting the pins out in about a month.

Allison Broke her Arm

Ugh... Yesterday evening Allison broker her arm at cheer. Well, it isn't a true break, she chipped a piece of her bone off in her elbow. The Dr. said it is pretty rare for this to happen and is very painful. She is splinted for the next week then a cast. But, she is doing okay.

Kids Photo Shoot

Melissa did a photo shoot with all the kids when she was in Utah a few weeks ago.  Not to shabby with a point and shoot!

Johnny's 1st Brake Job

Melissa's car needed a brake job (front rotors and pads).  Johnny did the passenger's side almost completely by himself.  His introduction to air tools, oh yeah!

Johnny's Braces!

Johnhy got his new braces today!  He got them just on all the top teeth today, then will get them on the bottom teeth in 6 weeks.  Right now they are "cool", we'll see in a few hours when his teeth start killin' him!

Camping/Rafting with Friends

A couple weeks ago Melissa, Allison and I went up to the KOA campground above Canyon City for a weekend of camping and rafting. We met our friends up there on Friday night and hung out till Sunday morning. Saturday Melissa and Allison went white water rafting with the rest of the group. I wasn't feeling 100% so I stayed ahead of them and took photos. Johnny was in Utah with his Grandma and Grandpa so he wasn't able to enjoy this trip with us...
