Scott's first triathlon/Sterling's 50th birthday

Scott did his first triathlon on August 4 which was Brittney's dad's 50th birthday.  Brittney's dad, Sterling also did the triathlon for his second time.

His time for the bike race was 32 minutes.

Starting the swim.

Scott got 4th place at a time of 1 hr and 6 minutes.  I was so proud of him.  Brittney plans on attempting it next year.

Sterling and Scott getting ready for the big event.

The birthday boy coming in from running.  Sterling fell off a wall a couple of years ago and crushed his foot.  The doctor told him he would never be able to run again and would be in a lot of pain with just walking, but look at him now speed walking/jogging in the triathlon on his 50th birthday.

Taking off for the bike race.

Yeah dad, good job!

My mom threw a big party for my dad after the triathlon.  She had Vitos cater it and invited family and friends.  We then went boating after the party because my dad's favorite activity is water skiing.

Dad opening up his present from all of us.  We gave him some shoes that he wanted for swimming and for Lake Powell.  My mom gave him a guys trip to St. George to go on a Harley ride.

Hoping to adopt!

So a few weeks ago, we got approved for adoption through LDS family services.  We're really excited.  Please spread the word for us and if you know of anyone who is wanting to put up their baby for adoption, put in a good word for us.  Our awesome brother-n-law Matt, took the pictures of us for our adoption profile.

Brittney's 27th Birthday

Brittney went with her family to her favorite place to eat (Cheesecake Factory).  It was the first year that Scott wasn't able to be there because he had to work a swing shift. He was good to me though.  He bought me a new hard shell suitcase for traveling with cute flowers on it.  I definitely got spoiled this year.  My parents gave me some new Nike shoes and some water ski gloves.  Scott's mom gave me some lagoon passes and a book.  Scott's sister Amanda gave me some scentsy bars and Monique gave me some jewelry and a game.

Just me and the bros.

Red velvet cheesecake, can I say more?

Ford Reunion at Payson Lake

We went with Brittney's family to the Ford reunion at Payson Lake.  It's Brittney's grandfather's extended family.  We just went up for the day.  The picture above is of us taking a hike.

Scott having so much fun that he took a little siesta.  On the way back we stopped at the theater to watch the new batman movie that Scott has been dying to see.

4th of July 2012

On the fourth of July we run the 5k freedom run with Brittney's cousin Sadie.

Scott had to work during the July 4th parade but Brittney went to the parade with her mom and dad and brother Tyler.  Her brother Stockton was in the parade with the Junior High Jazz band.

The night of the 4th Scott's sister Monique had a barbeque with family and friends.

On Saturday we went boating with Brittney's family up to Pineview reservoir.

Every year we go to the Oakley rodeo around the fourth of July with Scott's family.  We stopped up to Scott Sr.'s place in Deer Valley/St. Regis to play some pool before heading up to Oakley.

Scott and his nephew Mason.

We look forward to going to the rodeo every year.

Our cute little nephew McKay.

We're are so grateful for the freedoms that we have living in America.
