Confession!!!!

I have to confess something.... My last post about my little niece, I am not really holding her. My brother lives in Ohio going to Dental School and we did not venture out there to see her. What I did was cut her out of a picture and placed her in a picture that looked like I has holding something. I just had to do it to see what it would look like if I was holding her. Anyway... here are a few more pictures of our new sweet baby Whitney.

This is her week old picture

This is the picture that I cut her out of

Baby Whitney!!!!

I wanted to post about the newest member of the Paxton family. Her name is Whitney June Paxton. She is my brother Bart and his wife Krista's little girl. She is so cute and cuddly.

She is smiling because she loves her Auntie Stephie!!!!

Grand Cayman Island

Grand Cayman
This past week we went to Grand Cayman to see Colby's Parents. His dad was down there working so we took advantage of the fact that we had somewhere to stay. We also went down with Colby's sister Megan and her husband Shane and their cute little boy Jack.

We buried Colby is the sand.
Jack decided that he wanted to give him a kiss.

I love this picture. Jack was so confused.

He makes such a cute mermaid..

There was Iguanas everywhere

We went to a turtle farm. It was so much fun....
We got to actually swim with turtles.

We got to hold them as well...

They had a beautiful swimming pool..

Colby is always playing around...

Echo Triathlon

Almost a year ago my work challenged us to 3 triathlons in the year 2008. (this year) There was quite a few of us that said that we would do it, a year ago. As the time got closer a few kept dropping out. I remained as I originally said that I would. They told us that they would sponsor us and anyone in our family that would like to do it as well.

So about a month ago was our first triathlon. Because the baby that I am Colby said that he would stayed with me the whole time.
After all of the pain and tiredness I sat and thought if it really was worth doing it? Even though it was hard and I probably should have training a little more, I think that I will after all do another one.

IT DEFIANTLY WAS WORTH THE CHALLENGE

This was us after the race. I was dead tired and Colby was ready to go do another one.

This was me getting out of the water. I still have my sexy wet suit on.

This was me getting back to the transition area to go run. At this point Colby had left me because he had to go to the bathroom.

This is us almost to the finish line. Notice how hot our outfit's are, and how tired I look.

(it makes me laugh ever time see Colby in that outfit)

This was us one day later alive and a little sore.

Rodeo

Ogden City Rodeo

Every year we usually go to a rodeo for the 24th of July. This is the first year that we have been to the Ogden City Rodeo. (I tell you what, that was an experience to go to Ogden all by itself) We went to that one because they were donating 1 dollar for every person that was wearing pink to breast cancer research.

We normally like to fit in so we wear some cowboy garb. Colby borrowed some wranglers and a cowboy hat from our neighbor and I was just not feeling it this year. But I did wear a pink shirt to help with breast cancer research.

Colby and his sister Megan

(the best part about his outfit is his stand-alone mustache)
