Catch Up!

It's been a long time since I've posted a blog entry.  It would be impossible to post everything we've been up to but wanted to give some highlights! 

Anson complete his first Ironman!  

He completed Ironman Arizona in the amazing time of 10:54:19.

And he did that despite a horrible crash on the bike which left him looking like this (and there is more not shown in this picture!)


The kids were very proud of Daddy!

We had another blessed Christmas!

We got to watch our Baylor Bears win a Bowl Game with Heisman Winner RGIII!  And we had AMAZING seats!

 Our sweet Ethan turned 6 years old and had a dinosaur party!

Anson ran the Cowtown Marathon in 3:09 and qualified for the Boston Marathon 2013!

We became a diaper free house after 6 years!!!!

Ethan lost a few teeth...the hard way!

 Emery moved to a "Big Boy" bed and we sold our crib after 6 years of babies using it!

Ethan got "Really Big Boy" furniture :)

Ethan rode his bike without training wheels (triathlete in training!)

Ethan and Elena had another season of soccer and baseball.

And Anson got to be one of the coaches for Ethan's team :)

We had a wonderful Easter holiday with family!

Ethan started a chess class at school and won 1st place in the end-of-the-year tournament.

Ethan graduated from Kindergarten!

Our beautiful ballerina performed in her second dance recital.

We swam ALOT!  This picture is from the beginning of the summer.  Ethan and Elena are swimming like little fishes all on their own and even Emery is starting to swim on his own without floaties!

We had an amazing vacation in Broken Bow, OK with our dear friends the Klaus family. :)

 Spent time with cousins!

Emery turned 3 years old!!

 Got to see Aunt Brookie and meet sweet baby James!

First day of school!  Ethan in 1st grade, Elena in Kindergarten and Emery preschool!

Sweet Elena turned 5 years old!

I know there is TONS more that I'm not including, but these are some of the best highlights.  Hopefully I can keep up the blog a little better going forward :)
