What Was I Thinking?

This weekend Mark and Katie came down for a visit. We always have so much fun when they come down. They are amazing and fun and we love seeing them.
On Saturday Mark and I competed in the SHAC triathlon. I was so glad that my uncle did it with me. I love doing them and I couldn't resist doing it. My goal was to finish in less than an hour and I reached it barely. I finished in 58 minutes and 30 seconds. I felt really good after the race, however I am pretty sore today. All I have wanted to do is sleep. I had so much fun though. I love doing triathlons and I hope that Tony will do the next one with me.
After the race we took the kids hiking at Red Cliffs. I love all of the mountains in Utah. I have always loved the green mountains in Northern Utah and I love seeing the red rock of the mountains in southern Utah.
Thanks Mark and Katie for such an awesome weekend!
The swimming portion of the race is always my favorite part!
The transition from swim to the bike. The bike was harder than I thought. There was some pretty steep hills that I wasn't expecting!
Coming in to the finish line.

Any guesses?


I am back from my blogging hiatus! It has been a while, but I am going to try better to post. We have been staying very busy. I am 35 weeks pregnant and I am starting to get a little nervous about being a mother of three! Maddie said that she would help me a lot, but only if the baby is a boy! She really wants a brother. (No pressure!)
To the dismay of most of our family and friends we don't find out what the sex of the baby is. I am starting to wonder if that was such a good idea this time around. When I was pregnant with Sophie I figured that babies just sleep and eat the first 6 weeks of life, so that would give me plenty of time to get clothes if she were a boy. I still agree with that concept, but now I live in a no shopping zone!! (I should add one more thing to my "10 Things I learned while Living in Enoch"...see http://jenandtonygrimshaw.blogspot.com/2008/03/10-things-ive-learned-living-in-enoch.html It would read 11. The only place to shop here is a Walmart where I could conveniently buy some clothes, milk, and a bike tire all in one stop, and a department store that I have never heard of and the parking lot is always deserted, so apparently I am not the only one who has never heard of "Bealls")
Anyways, I am sure that my baby won't have to leave the hospital "nakey bum" because I do have plenty of pink and generous friends who have blue!
The other thought that I have is that the extra room in our home is pink with a really cute pink diamond chandelier!
We are just incredibly grateful to be having a baby, and we look forward to learn all the things that you learn with every child. For example, Tony has learned how to give excellent pedicures to all three of his girls!
