Labor Day 2010 I decided to attempt my first sprint triathlon.
I pretty much suck.
Finished 6th in my division.
I will be doing more of these next summer though!

Kara and Jenny are my biggest fans...they ROCK:)
Seriously though...what sister wants to wake up super early to drive her little sister to a race...then sit there throughout the whole race entertaining the little monster we call Kara. You truly are amazing Jenny!

Why is this Fun?!

Running is not fun. It really isn't. But for some sick reason I'm addicted.
.....and I want Vibrams :)

I thought purchasing a road bike would cure this weird desire to run races...but so far it hasn't. Probably because I'm dirt slow on a bike. I've only had it for about a month now.But I keep finding races I want to run and blow more money that I don't have. For example the Dirty Dash!!! I probably have never been more excited about anything in my life. Hence the red highlighted text above. Its a 10k/obstacle in mud! Can life get much better then that?! No.

Living the Dream

I got asked out today by a stranger who thought my name was Erica. Then quickly tried to recover by telling me..."Sorry I had a late night playing the new Lego Mario Brothers with my roommates."
I'm so blessed to attract such great men.

4th of July

My how things can change in one year!

This time last year I was chilling on the beach with two of my good friends....This year they're both engaged and I'm hanging out with my bro:)

We celebrated our favorite day in July by going to our favorite place

Thanks for hanging out with your old loser sister Casey :)

Happy 4th of July!

Love Being an Aunt :)

I thought it'd be appropriate for my first blog to be about my favorite BOY :) This story is a prime example about how even the good ones break your heart!

On Sunday my fav older bro Brandon and his fam (Rache Train, Cannon Ball, and about one week old cutie "Brookin") came over for dinner. They made their grand entrance to our home looking physically and emotionally exhausted from all the excitement they've had these last few weeks. So being the fav aunt I am, I thought it'd be fun to make cookies with the Can man after dinner so the parents could sit down and try and relax without the little guy bothering them. So Cannon and I start of great on our cookie adventure. Conversation couldn't have been better! This kid loves Toy Story. So naturally I ask him about Toy Story 3, we talk about how funny Mr. and Mrs. Potatoe Head are, how much we LOVE Woody and Buzz, how scary the fire scene was in the movie, and how Lotso was such a mean bear, blah blah blah. Throughout the whole convo I am seriously supplying this kid with more cookie dough then anyone should consume, thinking I am the best aunt ever! He's laughing telling me about how he likes to go to the splash splash (pool), and what else he's done today, then literally while I'm handing him yet another spoonful of cookie dough he looks straight at me and asks....."What's your name?".....

What the Heck?!?!?!! Seriously kid! I was so Bummed!!! How can you forget your fav Aunts name?! I just stared at him in disbelief for a few seconds. Then politely let him know my name is Jackie and I am your favorite Aunt. Don't forget it!!! Even though the kid is a stink sometimes he still is such a sweetie! Brandon describes him as being such a BRO (whatever that means :)) But you still cant help but love the butthead!
