Well, there are tons of pictures to post so I will get to it...
We never did post pics of Soah and Petrea's first trip to the beach. It was so much fun. I didn't get the least bit burned. Yeah, you read that right. I had just been out so much training... We built sand castles and Petrea actually got out in the water with me.
Of course, we had to get some Papi and Gigi lovin' in. Papi even got the Harley out for Petrea!
Right after that, Petrea got to go spend some time at Camp Cloud Nine with Gran and Pops. She found out that she likes motocross and lipstick...

Jumping around a bit, we also celebrated Petrea's second birthday here at the house by bringing the farm to us! Petrea was not conspicuous as a cowgirl at all! Cousin Ashton got to come over for the party and was the only one to get Petrea to ride the horse with no "adult supervision!"
Soah really enjoyed the attention she got from Gran and Pops while everyone else was watching PT.
Speaking of Soah, let's take a Soah break... Here is a pretty recent picture of Soah ready to go out on tour with her
loud band." She will be a punk rocker if she keeps this up!
She also recently started sucking her thumb. This was just so freakin' cute!
Then these two... Just good stuffings from the newest girl.
As much as we try and keep Petrea off of Soah, for Soah's oxygen purposes, we still are able to get some pictures of them together. I do think they like each other, although, Soah had no interest at all in the pumpkin patch this year.
This was just a cute one of PT...
Best friends at the zoo - Nealy and PT. Lots more of these in the years to come!
In Mom and Dad news, we actually posed for a picture together and I thought I would include it for those who are tired of looking at PT and Soah (as if that actually happens!).
In other Mom and Dad news, I finished my first Ironman. You can probably see the look of "Holy Crap!" in my eyes in the first picture with Mom and Dad. If you can't, believe me, it was there. Then, the swim start. 1900 of my closest friends getting into the water at the same time to swim 2.4 miles. Yes, I was kicked and swam over and, yes, I kicked people and swam over them. I did not stop to apologize.

Best motivation ever...
The girls in their Hog shirts. Autumn held this up for me during the marathon. I started running again! BTW, that is a finishers medal around my neck!





















Thank you! So much for all the New Pictures! I enjoyed them all so much!
