A day in the life with...

*Heidi*
am comment "Travis, I have been thinking about your health and energy levels and stuff. Ummm.... based on some research I did I think you could be pre-diabetic."

pm comment "Hey I just finished making a homemade strawberry shortcake. It's in the fridge for ya!"

*Luke*
Luke: "Dada what's wrong?"

Me: "Ugh, I've got a headache bud."

Luke: While patting my forehead "Hmmmmm. Maybe you should watch a cycling show. You love the cycling shows." (I had been watching the Giro de Italia bike race on TV and never once thought Luke was aware of it).

Me: "Really? You think that will make me better?"

Luke: While flexing biceps "Yeah, you can be strong like Lance Armstrong!"
(I have never once spoken to Luke about Mr. Lance either.)

*Miles*
While slapping my face "Uh Oh, Uh Oh!"

While pointing to the kitchen "Ba! Ba! Ba!" (bottle).

While pulling Luke's hair "Growl".

a race production week is a minor miracle.

The Rundown

Ugh. A lot has been going on lately. Here is the official rundown...

1. Finishing our basement into a 2 bedroom apt. Good times. Did most of the work and managed to not cut anything off.

2. Selling our house and moving. (the buyers wanted the basement done) Lots of work, lots of stress, lots of caffeine.

3. Looking for a new home base for my crazy cool family.

4. Starting a new business... fun and a lot of work. Everyone should "run the redrock" this September. Learn more at www.redrockrelay.com

the redrock relay mobile!

5. Having surgery and getting the toes on my left foot removed. (not true just seeing if you are still with me).

6. Prepping for a summer of triathlons. Our first race is May 30th www.racetri.com

7. Turning 31 years old. Not sure how I feel about this one. It is Heidi's favorite number so I am expecting a good year.

8. Rolling with my rough and tumble boyz. They are hilarious and kill me every day. Miles is a scrappy little bear cub and Luke is a great kid. The other day I was tucking Luke in with our standard super hero story and I started copying everything he said. He started laughing and getting so bugged with me. I thought to myself, "It is an honor to be the first person in his mortal life to do this to him." I am waiting for his newly learned skills to come back to haunt me in a few months.

9. Ready for a fun summer. Softball season is about to start and my recent cycle of roids is timed perfectly. Those Payson hicks don't stand a chance!

10. Yes, last but not least Carolina won.
