Hy-Vee Triathlon and meeting Baby Claire!

This past weekend, Jason and I headed down to Des Moines for him to participate in the Hy-Vee Triathlon!  This is a very popular traithlon for the "Pros" who come from all over the world to race.  The prize for the top male and female finisher is $150,000!  Jason is not considered a "pro"--he is just an age group amateur, but finished the race 16 out of 57 in his age group! 

Here he is after swimming...running to his bike!

Running after getting off his bike...just a quick 6 miles...no big deal!

GO Jason!

The Hy-Vee Finish line!  It's pretty fancy!

So proud!  And look at that great backdrop!  Iowa is the place to be! 

The Herrick girls! I love my sister-in-laws and my mother-in-law!

Titus and Dick pose for a funny picture!

We got to meet Claire, my cousin Sabrina's baby this weekend too!  Baby Claire has LOTS of hair...I love her so much! 

She was a little squirmer, but a cuddler too! 

Swim, Bike, Run-Pigman Triathlon-Palo, IA

Jason completed a goal he had set back in the very beginning of the year-to finish a Half-Ironman.  Mission Complete!  Justin and Dick also completed the Half Ironman last weekend with Jason!  Be prepared for LOTS of spandex in these next pictures!

State Fair 2011

We headed off to the Iowa State Fair this past weekend-and on our way we passed a house!

For the record-it is nerve wracking passing a house!! ahah!!

After staying the night with Bridget and Adam, Bridget, I, Jason, Kathy and Dick headed off for the Fair.

We did the park and ride from the State Capitol-smartest decision ever!

Cake in one of the buildings with all the things the fair is about!

It.Was.PACKED!  Lots of people!!

A little Fried Ice Cream never hurt anyone!!

Oh yea!

We met up with my cousin, Sabrina, who was also at the fair that day.  And I just got a text literally 2 minutes ago saying she was at the hospital-meaning-THE BABY IS COMING!!  I'm SOOOOO excited for her and Travis!!!

Jason and I both had a corn dog!

Then we got a free hard boiled egg on a stick!

Butter Cow-celebrating 100 years!

The sand sculpture-one of my favorite things to see at the fair.

This is for you Bridget......  a duck. BAHAHAHHAAHH!

SUPER BULL!

Jacob's dresser-he got a red ribbon! 

So long to you fair!  It was a great trip!
