After a day of rest and getting back into life ~ the week started....

after we returned from our wonderful trip to Alaska.

Ayden's babysitter was away this week on her vacation.......

So.....grandma got to watch Phill and Christy's kids. Aren't Brittany and Andrea so sweet to come too! I LOVED spending time with them this week.... and getting to visit with Phill in the morning (sorry no pic Phill!) and Christy in the afternoon when they would drop off the kids AND pick them up.

Courtney ran her triathlon!!!!!!!

She has spent MUCH time ~ months ~ training for this big event.

She finished.

She's done!

We are so very proud of her!!!!!!

She swam in a lake....

biked up and down mountains,

and ran in the same.

WOW!

Impressive

Steve is in the running with 5 other bands....

to play at the HFSFestival.

They play tomorrow......

and the winner goes on.

We are so proud of him.

He is so happy to be at this place.

His band has worked hard.

I got to see Hannah's new house ~

she is still in DC, but in a house now with 3 other girls.

It is amazing ~ so cute ~ full of character!

I love it!!!!!!

Hannah watched the kiddos for me ~

as Alden and I went to a retirement ceremony of some friends.

Thanks Hannah!
