As Many of you already know I am Helping to plan the 8th Annual 4th Street Triathlon and would love your participation and/or support! The triathlon will benefit the 4th Street Clinic, a clinic that provides free primary health care to the homeless in Salt Lake. 100% of the money earned goes directly to the clinic or toward the cost of putting on the event. The more people involved the better!
For those of you who are nervous about doing a triathlon, don't be! This is a great triathlon to be your first. It is a "sprint" style, which means the distances of the swim, bike, and run are shorter (see below for details). If a whole triathlon just isn't your thing, there are other options as well. You can put a team together so that one person does each section, or you can simply run/walk in the 5K race. The atmosphere is very welcoming and fun-loving, and all are welcome and wanted! However, if you would rather not tackle this awesome physical challenge, your financial support is also encouraged. To register and/or donate please visit http://4thstreettri.blogspot.com.

Don't think you can do a whole Sprint triathlon (300 yard swim or 6 laps, 8 mile MOUNTAIN bike, 5K run)? Do it as a team.
Can't find anyone to be on your team? Run or walk the 5K
Busy on April 26th? Donate directly to the 4th Street clinic online @ www.fourthstreetclinic.org
Hey Everyone!! Just wanted to wish ya'll a Happy V-Day!! To quote one of my favorite musicals, Les Miserables, "To Love another person is to see te face of God." And here is one of my favorite Mother Teresa pieces of wisdom:
"Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting."
Just wanted to post the latest pics of Aiden and write an update: Hunter is taking an after school Karate class and doing well. He's also doing a project for the school science fair, which has changed his future career aspiration from an astronaut to a scientist. Devan is busy with potty training, mostly because there is candy and chocolate involved if he participates. Aiden has grown into the 12 month size of clothes. I am amazed and frustrated at the same time because I just bought a bunch of new clothes in the 9 month size. I keep thinking that he is going to slow down. I need to remember not to underestimate him.
Does somebody have a master list with everybodys birthday on it? Would they mind posting it on the blog so that I can see it?
