THE BIG DAY........ 100 miles on BIKE!

Today is the big day! All the training (that was not much do to awful weather) is being put the the test.
As of a few minutes ago when I talked to Paul on the phone he is at mile 80 and in the home stretch. YAHOO!!!
He is tired at this point and says that his but hurts but that will all soon go away and he will have the happiness of proudly stating the he rode 100 miles on his bike, in one day!!!! THAT IS AMAZING and I could not be more proud of Paul and this HUGE accomplishment.
There will be more to come soon with pictures to follow. Go Paul Go!

Well we are back. We met Paul and Greg at the finish line and they are amazing!!!!! We did a lot of celebrating! :)
There are a lot of emotions going on for Paul at this point in time but the bottom line is he is happy that his family and friends were there to support him the whole way through. He cannot keep saying that enough. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all of your support!!

Here are some pictures of Paul HUGE accomplishment.............

The beginning with Codi and David
Here are the last few pedals home. Oh yeah BABY!!!The exhaustion and happiness of family being there is setting in. Thank you Dad and Stacy for making it to the finish line. Paul thought that was AWESOME!!!!!
Me and Tre' totally STOKED for Paul at the finish line.

Big Boy Potty

We got Tre' a potty this morning just to get him thinking about things. He has been expressing interest when we go potty and has wanted to sit on our potty often to see what it is like but, it is big and it scares him so, we thought that we would bring one into the house and let him know that he can sit on it, talk about it, to it, anything just so that it becomes something that is not scary.
When we got home from the store he brought the box to me and had me get it out. We assembled a few pieces. Off the shorts came, then off with the diaper. To the potty he went. asking questions, making sure what he was doing was an okay thing (especially since we were in the living room.) He sat down and pushed his boy part down and started pushing (we have been teaching him a few things while expressing interest to the big potty. He is smart but did not just think it up himself that boy part needs to go down or else there is pee everywhere.)
I thought that he was just doing what he thought he should cause he was on a potty until, he told me he needed toilet paper. I didn't believe him, I was just impressed that he knew what else you needed to do on the potty. So, I didn't get any. he gotoff the potty and there was a huge terd in the toilet and now poop on my carpet his legs and the bottom of his foot. ha ha ha It was HALERIOUS!!!!! Way to go TRE'!!!!!!
I know, I know don't get my hopes up right. I can hope for the best but I am sure we have got along ways to go. We will get there in do time.

Here is the happy pooper even though he looks constipated........

Blog post WAY over do......

For those of you that don't know Paul is studying a Graphics Design major at the Salt Lake Community College and what a semester it has been, hard, yet very successful. This is the first semester for Paul that was on overhaul and he ROCKED it out!
This semester he decided to enter 3 pieces into the art show and BAM he made it in. Entering a piece into the art show is a lot of work and getting a piece accepted is a HUGE accomplishment! There were ever 4,000 pieces entered and if I remember correctly only 200 get picked. Paul was part of that. Here is the piece that was on display for all to see...................

This piece took a total of 24 hours to accomplish. This is an outline of a player from the Salt Lake Bees and the word "slugger" is what makes this what makes this picture a picture. That is it, that one word over and over again. Very awesome indeed. I love you babe!

Here is the Happy designer........
