I Tri....

So...my first triathlon was March 27th, the Showdown at Sundown.  
Unfortunately the weather was so bad they had to cancel the swim portion.  So I rode and ran and finished strong.  Being I completed an "almost" triathlon and not an actual triathlon, I immediately signed up for Rage in the Sage which was 3 weeks later on April 16th.

Easter Weekend

We had a super packed, fun-filled weekend. 

Saturday began with an Easter egg hunt for the homeowners association down at the club house.  After, I took the girls out to our friends ranch to see their horses.  Kady and I saddled up for a ride and a good hour was spent  just feeding all the horses carrots.  It was such a treat.  She did great...no fear. 





Sunday we had an Easter egg hunt when we woke up, went through all the fun loot in our baskets then off to church.  Following nap time we headed over to a friends house for an Easter Bbq.

GREAT Strides Walk 2011

Another super successful year!!!  We actually raised close to $500.  Team Ethan Washington and Team Ethan Hawaii are still going strong and raising money for their walks.  I could never say thank you enough to everyone who helped support this cause.  I may sound like a broken record saying this, but it truly means the world to me.  I get goose bumps and teary eyed every time I think about it.  Much love to you all -- xo

Zoe actually started walking this day.  That afternoon when we got home it was over.  She's been upright and cruising ever since.

So much for having the time to update the blog....

Here's a quick review of the past months happenings:
Our business, Sunset Racing Events finally sold to Lifetime Fitness.  WooHoo!!  With that Dominic and his business partner became full time employee's with Lifetime Fitness.  Basically they are doing the same job as before, running triathlons, Mtn. bike races etc. but without the headache and stress of paying the bills, getting the sponsorship and so on.

The lawsuit with Lake Las Vegas and World Triathlon Corporation has also come to an end.  Both parties settled with Sunset Racing out of court for an undisclosed amount.  Another headache we are glad to be rid of.

I am currently working on the biggest event of my life so far (other than raising babies).  I don't want to say too much  in fear it doesn't happen so details will come later.  However, be on the lookout for "Ethan's Angels for Cystic Fibrosis Golf Tournament" this September at Angel Park golf course.  I have a BIG meeting today with a possible title sponsor.   Fingers and toes crossed...with out it, the golf tournament most likely won't happen.

I've also, been neck deep in Diamond Kids as the charity director, which is coming up in June.  I completed two triathlons in the last month and am currently training for Tough Mudder which is  Memorial Day weekend in Snow Valley, CA.  I'll be doing it with a group of girlfriends and we are all dressing up as Wonder Woman.  I'm looking forward to it :)

Dom has been getting settled in with his new job.  He's busy as usual prepping for LeadMan, Asbury Park  and Lake Cascade Triathlons all coming up in the next 8 weeks then it's off to the East coast for 9 days to visit family.  Looking forward to a real vacation this year and some beach time.

Kady is  FINALLY in track to being potty trained. I think I'm days away from saying goodbye to diapers for her. With that the awkward potty training poop talk has begun. Ha!  What are you going to do?  Looking to get her into swimming lessons this summer if we can find somewhere to fit it in.  Zoe is an upright, walking machine who FINALLY sprouted her first two teeth.  Her favorite word is "daddy"...go figure!

Happy Spring Everyone!!
