mini Moss-men?

The MiniMOSSman Triathalon         July 12, 2012!
The Moss boys just completed their first triathalon ever!
When we heard the name of the race we just knew we had to enter--it really is called that
(admittedly some of them did it for the T-shirt and guaranteed metal, if completed)!

We practiced with our friends the Sharps (veterans of such races) and the Wheelers.  The boys learned how to transition and practiced the swim, biking, and running. 

 Eli and Adam were in the 11-14 year old group--they swam 200 yards, biked 4 miles, and ran 1 mile.






We are so proud of them!!
We could really get into this--for them!  (I think it would be cool to try, but am pretty sure it won't be any time too soon).




WAY TO GO, MINIMOSSMEN (for real, hee, hee)!!



*poor David hobbled around on crutches all day--so he ended up in charge of Isaac while I ran after the boys with the camera.  We don't know what is wrong exactly, but he had an MRI today so we'll see.

The Von Callister SIX

This is one of my new favorite pictures!
These fun and handsome people are my brothers and sisters, and we were all together last weekend! It was so great!
We got together because we all loved my grandfather, J.R. Warner, and we wanted to be at his funeral. He died a couple of weeks ago. He was 89. He was such a fun person--you always knew you would be laughing when you were with him. He served in WWII and it was neat to see the Richfield, Utah military honor him. I will miss his twinkly eyes and ever-present grin.


We took full advantage of the opportunity Grandpa gave us to get together. We played, and walked, and talked, and drove out to the hills in Venice, Utah (where my grandpa lived) to shot at targets. This was my first time shooting a pistol--my boys are so proud of me. :)



Sure do love my family!

And sure am grateful for my husband and good friends who made it possible for me to fly out for a long weekend, all alone (first time I've flown alone in 12 years--totally different flying experience!!).

Cute, large child with braces

My Eli--whom I lately call my "large child" or my "huge boy"-- now looks even older and more adorable!
He got braces a couple of weeks ago and I just can't get over how much I like the look on him.
Isn't he cute?!



What a good and sweet boy!
