As the triathlon gets closer, we've been stepping up our training a bit. Last Saturday we did a "Mock Tri" at Lake Las Vegas. We swam in the lake (which is a lot harder than swimming in a pool, by the way), we did a 13 mile bike ride and a 3.7 mile run. It's refreshing to know that we can all actually finish the course. However, we all would like to improve our times before the actual race on September 12th. Next Saturday we're going to do the same race to see if we've improved.
While Kristin, Amy, Grayson, and I were doing the tri, Chris, Eddy, and Jamie were on babysitting duty with Nadi. Poor Nadi, she hasn't had the best of luck these last couple of days. After the triathlon, she puked up a bunch of sea shells, rocks, and dirt. Then today, she got in the way of our running workout and Chris accidently stepped on her....hard! She's been limping around all day. Hopefully we don't have to take her to the vet. We're keeping an eye on her.
In other news, Nadi has started obedience school at Petsmart. She's been enrolled in the intermediate class, because she knows all of her basic tricks already. The dogs in the class are a lot older than her and Nadi doesn't exactly have the longest attention span. There's a german shepherd in the class that can jump through a hula hoop when it's about 4 feet in the air, and catch a ball on his way down. It's pretty impressive, and here I thought little Nadi's "speak" trick was so cool.
I start working on August 12th, just about a week away. I'm starting to get a few lessons together, but I'm just having too much fun this summer! Last summer, I was bored by August. My last day at Applebees is on Friday. Everyday I come home from that job I'm always grateful that I went to college. It's pretty tough work and I'm not at all impressed by how much people tip. I waited on a table the other day that had a $90.00 bill and they tipped me $5.00!! I secretly wanted to go back to the table and explain how they should calculate a tip. I guess it's the teacher in me. I'll try to get Nadi on camera doing some sweet tricks this next week.
She's growing fast! She weighs a whole 24 pounds now!

That's crazy! I hope that I don't go into labor just yet. I'm ready at home and everything...but I am still getting ready at school. I guess if she decides to come, I can't do much about it :) Hope you guys are doing well. Is there a little bambino in your new future? :) Good luck with your first year teaching!
I love the blog. I can't wait to hear all about middle school. I loved the bell idea, and when Ryder is completely potty trained I think I am going to try and use that with Callie. Is that cruel? Miss you guys!
