On the way to do Bradden's 5th tri race in Sioux Center Iowa, we came across some fun adventures:

Only in Iowa will you see a tracker pull up to a gas station...Dad teaching his son all about throwing rocks and wishing he was near a lake to teach his son how to skip rocks across the water. Hyrum learning how to fly and loving it each time!






Bradden on the bike, after the swim: he did an awesome job and we were so proud of himHyrum beginning to act up...Hyrum in the almost yelling stage of acting up...Hyrum yelling and wanting.....Bradden returning on the bikeBradden finishing up the run


Hyrum and Bradden after the raceBradden trying to impress the other racers that he does have muscle even though he is really white!
Hyrum loving his Daddy being the same.Hyrum being cooler than other kids his age and Dad looking like a dork with a really nice farmers tan from the Tri!How do you like dem apples?
Bradden's 31st Birthday, I made him a "Chocolate mint oreo cake" upon his request

I'm so impressed with you two- triathlons and everything. Hyrum is such a cute little boy.

Hey Bradden, You look pretty studly there Mr. Muscle Man. Is it more manly to have more muscle or more hair? . . . I think I know someone who might disagree with you. And Sunny, your little Hyrum is a doll. Hows about we plan a little summer outing together in the next few months? Or maybe once Dave finishes his prelims? That might be fun to meet up somewhere- your place, our place, or in between. Let us know. We love you guys!

Would you post the recipe for the chocolate, mint oreo cake? I think that Brit would love it. Thanks! You guys look great!

Happy Birthday Bradden! Looks like it paid off to run the race before that huge birthday cake.

Bradden, congrats on still doing the tri's that is awesome. You look really good. Interesting you're not balding much, I thought you'd be catching up to me in that regard. James is engaged with an October wedding planned. Hyrum is looking great with the hawk. Happy B-Day. I totally spaced calling. Please don't hate me. I'll call soon.
