My Ironman a Second Time Around

Judd did really well, considering this was the toughest course of any Ironman yet. Even Hawaii. Man the pictures are back wards....

Yard Art and May the Force Be In the Yard

Yes I found the yard art I wanted and so did my sister Susan. We had a great time Saturday. This one is in the Japanese Garden.


Now this one is thought of in two different ways, First is that my sister thinks of him as St. Francis and the rest of us think his is Obi-won. If my sister looks at my blog I'm dead meat.

So Busy

So that last couple of weeks and weekends I have been painting my wood trim upstairs. What a tedious job. One coat base the two coats of paint. it is taking forever....... Plus i have to keep myself busy while Judd spends ALL his time training for his second Ironman. Boy is his HoneyDo list getting long!!!

I went igloo camping!!!!!

This is the igloo that Aaron and I built. It kept us nice and cosy.
The frozen lake we camped by soooo beautiful.
Aaron hard at work. He would cut the blocks and hand them to me to set down around our area to harden up.
One of the many switchbacks to get to the top of the mountain. Let me tell you they were steep, coming down I just sat down and slide on my bum!!!
Yes that's right. One of our young women wanted to go igloo camping so she set up the training meetings and we went last weekend. Up at Stevens Pass. It was beautiful. I had a great time. Aaron was my buddy. He did all the hard work and I was his grunt. But it still was great.

Christmas 2009

Always so great when we can take a family picture. We did this on our own. Meaning we didn't get help we had my sister Susan take the picture with 3 cameras we had a better chance of getting a good one.

Thanksgiving 2009

So again this year we decided to go to the beach. We asked various friends but none worked out so it was just Judd and I. With it just being the two of us we were pretty lazy. We did ride our new cruisers on the beach, around town, have a nice Thanksgiving dinner, which I didn't cook or clean for. Watch some Christmas shows. Eat stuff we don't normally eat. We did miss having friends with us. The weather was rainy except on Friday!! The sun came out and it was wonderful. We stopped at Calbella's on the way home. That was ok. Really busy. Not sure what next year will bring, maybe a new place to stay.
