Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Day morning, Paul was in a triathlon sprint. It has all the elements of a regular triathlon (run, bike, swim), but it is for shorter distances. Jessie, Matix, Stacy and Daniel all went to cheer for him. It was lots of fun. Paul only trained for a month and he got 7th place! There were over 700 people entered in the race too!


We had Thanksgiving with Paul's family. Lots of his cousins (from his Mom's side) and aunts and uncles were there. We filled up on the usuals and Paul had 5 pieces of pie (kudos Leah). Paul and Jessie tried to ride on Tay's ripstick... it was a lot harder than it looked for Jessie, but of course Paul caught on right away. It feels a lot like snowboarding, but it looks like a skateboard with only two wheels... It's crazy. It was Matix's first Thanksgiving and he was held the whole time by various family members (mostly Grandma Stacy). I think he had fun too.

Paul's birthday was last Sunday, and we went out to his parents house for dinner and presents and brownies. He is 26 now and Jessie teases him for being an old man now that he is closer to 30 than 20. :)

Okay - so now you're going to have to use a speedo next time... that way you'll get First Place! You can borrow Daniels :)

And Jessie - You have to show me how to do the slide show with music! So fun!

Wow...I am so impressed. I loved the video too. FOr some reason I got all teary when I was watching it. I don't know if it was the music or just how awesome it was to see Jessie and Stacey support Paul in doing something so neat. I am such a wimp. But a proud wimp. lol
Love you guys!
