A girl and her dog

These two love each other so much.

Mama gets her Ironman tattoo

It's a tradition in the triathlon world that when you complete the Iron distance race, you get a tattoo.  Well, we flew up to Chicago for the weekend and I finally got that done.  I really love how it turned out!

Marilyn meets Michael Phelps

Marilyn and Jim always go to the Barrett Jackson car show.  This year they were in a box where Michael Phelps (super big deal to any swimmer!) walks in.  And she gets his autograph for Skylar and a selfie! She said he was so nice-I love hearing that!!!

One last box of presents!

 We always love our box of presents from the Swedes.  The girls were especially happy this year!  Lotta was really hoping for Pippi (that's her nickname) socks, but "This is so much better!"

 Skylar's gift brought me back to my childhood.  I always loved our singing angels.

 

It was such a beautiful day, that I got to take my bike out for it's first test ride.  Love it!
