Jessica had a great time at the St George triathlon.  She finished with a personal best time and even conquered the biking hill without having to walk it.  Great job Jessica!  The staff wisely moved the race back a couple hours in the morning to avoid the recurring weather problems that have plagued the race in previous years, but this time around, the weather was suprisingly cooperative.  The few extra hours of sleep didn't hurt though.

Meanwhile, back on the home front, I was tasked with taking care of the kids for the weekend and my primary mission and reason for staying home was making sure that Kiara made it to her dance pictures.  Four days without mom was interesting, but we had some good fun!  My friend Joe alerted me to a crazy sale Safeway was having on cereal and he told me he was going to stock up.  I decided to do the same.  40 boxes for $50 or so.  So now I have 40 boxes of cereal, but what am I going to do with them?  Well, why not have dad show the kids some fun and build some towers and forts out of cereal boxes???

Then I had to make sure that her dance pictures went well.  Jessica left a bunch of instructions on how to go about doing this, but fortunately 4 sisters and a mother come in handy with the hair portion of it.  I delivered Kiara to the hairdressers and they went to work.  Fortunately, all went well and my primary mission for the weekend was successful, and I will not be receiving 100 lashes.

What a cute kid!
