Races, shopping, picnics, parties...OH MY!

We were in town this weekend, but boy were we busy and on the go. We had a company picnic, Wade competed in the Lake Padden Triathlon, shopping at Tulalip with family, surprise 30th birthday party for Chris, and a family day at the park.

It all started Friday with Wade's company picnic. We went to a park in Ferndale for a BBQ and visiting. Amelia started out great, but then turned to Bedelia (alter ego). Her afternoon nap wasn't much and opened the door to this lovely child. Krause learned about the lungs she has!

The next morning Wade and Jake raced in the Lake Padden Tri. Both did great, but poor Wade had some major cramps during the run at the end and had to finish in some pain. Watching them race made me think about taking up the sport. I just need to learn how to ride a bike.
He swam a 1/2 mile. He and Daryl before he jumped into the water.
He biked 22 miles. Wade said this was his favorite portion of the race.
He ended the race with a 5 mile run. Two times around Lake Padden.

After the race, Amelia and I met my Mom, Sis, the girls and my Aunt Kathy at the outlet mall. Kathy was in town for the weekend from Newport Beach. It was her first time meeting Amelia. And...in true Kathy style, Amelia was spoiled with a whole new wardrobe for summer and fall and a pair of baby Uggs. Mimi (my mom) also bought her a cute outfit and new shoes because she is growing so fast. Thank you Mom and Kathy!!! I love It all!!

After shopping Amelia went and spent the evening with grandma and grandpa so Wade and I could go to Chris's 30th Birthday. Julie, you did a wonderful job planning and preparing. We ate, drank some and had fun with friends. Because we have been gone so much we haven't seen anyone in forever!

Lastly, we spent a lazy Sunday at the park with just Wade, me, Amelia and Tracker. We had a picnic, played in the water fountain and took a nap in the sun. It was so nice to relax!
Please notice that Wade and Amelia are wearing matching outfits. I did not buy these together or was it planned. The outfit Amelia is wearing is one Kathy got her. Wade's shorts are old. So CUTE!!
Wade and I saw The Hangover and thought it was great. Here is Amelia doing her best Carlos impression. Mommy and me shot. I am noticing I am the one taking the pictures so there isn't to many that I am in. So, I took one :).
