my iron boys and girl











it is so cool, ever year on this weekend all the "iron" men and women roll (literally on bikes) into our area for the annual iron man triathalon. it always ends with the running portion right through our neighborhood. so we always walk down to cheer them on. this year, we went down early and did not think we would see anyone yet, however we got to see the 1st-5th males and 1st-3rd females, with all runners being led by a labeled biker and a motorscooter videotaping. they kids were excited and clapping and cheering. well until we had to head home, jump in the car, and battle our way out through all the traffic stops. it took us over an hour just to get out of our little area---so the winner for the day in our house is:
-iron man wyatt for holding together in face of car sickness (really, not kidding, he has thrown up)
-iron man owen for continually rolling down the window and giving wyatt some fresh air
-iron woman grace for keeping a calm disposition and waving at the racers
-iron woman mommy--for not giving into the moment and keeping cool and calm (seriously there were people driving, cussing and screaming, because they were stuck in traffic...come on it is iron man for goodness sake...we all watch the news and got notices on our doors!!
next year, i promised the boys, we will have an iron man party and all friends invited...just plan on coming early and having to stay all day!!
