BREANNA competed in her first triathlon last weekend ("first" . . . will there be more). She did the "sprint" triathlon, which is a 750-meter swim, a 20-kilometer bike course and a 5-kilometer run. For those of you who are metrically challenged - half-mile swim, 12.4-mile cycling and 3.1-mile running. It's the fastest-growing discipline in the triathlon family of distances.

JENNA AND TYREL surprised us two weekends ago with a quick visit to Provo. They came out for the wedding of one of Tyrel's cousins and surprised Braden, Cheryl and I by showing up unannounced at our house Friday evening (Breanna, Austin and Laura were in on plan). Before they left for New Jersey late Saturday night, we went as a family to the BYU-Northern Iowa football game (half in the north stands, half in the south). Click here for a link to Jenna's blog entry "best surprise ever" on the visit.
THE FAMILY is having fun with one of Braden's fall creations - a weekly college football pick-'em contest sponsored by ESPN. I think Cheryl is wanting to weigh in on this - she's taking her weekly selections pretty seriously. Here's the latest ESPN family standings - click on the standings image below to get a bigger, better view. OK Cheryl checking in...I do want you to know that I have been abandoned by the women of this family and have succumbed to the whole football pick thing. I have no idea what I am doing I just look at stats that make no sense and look for the longest lines on the bar graphs:) So far so good? Makes life more interesting in a male dominated home. Thanks Laura and Jenny for coming along for the ride!
