SG Trip Starting with the IronMan...

My Little IronMan.......

  

 " I can run super fast... just like my Dad!!"

                                    - Benson Stephens

Here is Cade starting the 2.4 Mile Swim

 Its crazy how all 2000+ triathletes are in freezing {57 degrees} water, and as soon as the canon goes off..... its on, a race to stay on top, not to get trampled or hypothermia, to race to the finish, pace yourself,  its all about your own personal best time.

He made it!! At a great time of 1 hour 20 Minutes..... Incredible!!

Mrs. IronWife

"and you thought the training was hard on him"

And on to the bike.... a 112 Mile Ride of your Life.

Cade came in like a Rock Star!

{with a great time of 6 hours 31 Minutes}

Starting the 26.2 Mile Run

"I feel like a million bucks"

-Cade Stephens

P.S... I would almost do an IronMan..... just so I could get an IronMan tatoo...because I love it... but since I would never survive it ....Hum Landon..... maybe you should do one, so I can justify getting it. Just looking at my fake one.... Its so inspiring!! and Leigh you should marry an IronMan so we can get twiner ones.... yes Im a Genius!! 

BbZzzzz.....

I Have Been A BUSY Little BEE........

{More to come of Ash's Wedding, Family Fun, IronMan, Early Mothers Day, all of the Fun Filled trip Home, and of course Land was missed TREMENDOUSLY!!}

yoga + surfing = pure bliss

 Do Dreams Really Come True?.....

well i sure hope so.....


so i had a dream, that we were deep in this amazing yoga/surf retreat. everyday was filled with yoga, amazing "good for you" food, and surfing, long walks on the beach, massages, all day just soaking up the sun, captivating views, ahhh i don't ever want to wake up!! really its that good.
{i still pretend that im having that dream, & i dream about it all day}
so ive been doing some research online.... and i guess im going to have to wait untill we are done with school to make this dream come true. unless someone wants to sponsor us of course .... {karma: what comes around, goes around}  


but really... do you think if you dream it, it really will come true? cause if thats the case, i will dream this every single night.

SpRiNg FeVeR......

     10 more tests to go

       Only 5 more weeks of school

and classes are done in 4 weeks!! 

              We Couldn’t be more excited!!

Going to SG in 8 days

          the sun is shinning

   All Landon does is study...

                 and all I do is work.. 

     We Definitely have Spring Fever!!

The Sun Is Out......

90 Degrees...... in APRIL

What thats crazy!! I wish I could sit outside all day!!!

Why is it that when little kids are running around in their front yards

 in their swimming suits.... 

its just cute.

But if I ran around in my front yard in my swimming suit .... 

its WHITE TRASH!!

This is really what I wish I could do.... right now, not drive to a pool {there isn't even a pool out here that i could drive to} or drive to the beach {although i would love a beach day} I want to do it right now, in my front yard. {i would do it in my back yard, but we don't have one} I would be in heaven, basking in the sun, with a nice big cold one, and a good book, or maybe some music.....{mmmmm}!!!

HaPpY EasTeR

We started off the Day..... with this.

{i made land follow the string to find his Easter basket,
