Random tidbits

First of all, Ashlie Hilton did our family pictures last Monday, and I have been patiently waiting for a sneak peek at some finished products on her blog. And finally this morning, they were there! To see some of our family photos, click on my link to Ashlie and Clint. Fun stuff. Thanks a million, Ash! You do outstanding work!

Secondly, last Saturday, Connor and Tony went to Laramie for the Cowboys football game. They had a great time despite the lousy outcome (The Cowboys lost 23-3.) Connor was cheering for the Cowboys the whole game. His grandpa asked him if he'd cheer for Air Force for $10. Connor said no. Then he offered $50. Still no. He made one more offer, and Connor came back with, "Not for $1,000!" My dad may disagree, but Tony and I figure we must be raising him right. He had a great time with his cousin who lives in Cheyenne. Connor idolizes him.
Finally, two weekends ago, Tony went to Denver and competed in a race called 8 Hours of Triathlon. He was on a team of 4 with his brother and 2 of his friends. Their task was to complete as many sprint triathlons as possible in the 8 hour period. They do it tag-team style. Tony did 3 runs, 2 bikes, and one swim. Their team completed 6 1/2 triathlons. Tony loved it and is already planning for next year: possibly the 24 HOUR VARIETY!!! He forgot to take the camera, and I wasn't there, so not pics. But he brought home a souvenir that the kids think is GREAT: the swim cap they had to wear so they could be easily spotted in the resorvoir. Here is Mylie posing with it. She's so silly!
