Happy birthday Morgan!


Morgan turned 4 last weekend and wanted a treasure hunt party, Indiana Jones style.  So after decorating some bandanas they set off on the obstacle course/treasure hunt.  They first took an adventure ride with Dr. Jones (Wes) to the beginning of the course. Then they had to outrun the boulder,(which just killed me to watch, haha!!) cross a bridge, run through slimy snakes, (green spaghetti) and other tasks before uncovering their treasure chests in a pool of packing peanuts.  
   After breaking a  pinata, they had golden (chicken) nuggets in buckets eaten with a little shovel and rake.  Morgan loved the cake and had a great time with his friends.  
   Earlier, when he awoke that day, he said, I'm still little and my voice hasn't changed." Apparently, he though that when you turn four, you become a man.  Not quite little buddy...and it's a good thing too!
Also some of my favorite pictures of little chubby Morgan.

XTERRA triathlon mountain championship

This is Wes' fourth year doing the triathlon and he did great.  He placed fourth in his category and later found out he would have placed first had he registered for the clydesdale division!  So way to go  Wes!  Also to Michael (Wes' sister's husband) who did the whole thing with a sprained elbow.
This is definitely one of my favorite races because the competitors come from all over the world and we get to see the world champion winners compete. It's also just a fun atmosphere.  Carson was excited to get a number on his arm too, and did some climbing of his own. So the next one is in Lake Tahoe which they are planning to do as well. good luck guys!
