TEAM TINGEY: May 2011

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Usually I don't like to go boating until June around these parts. This year our friends were really eager to get out to the lake in May. Jeff was on cloud-9...he loves the water...even if it's only 52 degrees!

All I have to say is dry-suits are amazing!

Jeff is sporting Matt's dry-suit. He was having so much fun in the freeeeezing water. When he was all done he took the dry-suit off and he was dry and warm. So with a little persuasion....

I bring you Super Dork!

I decided to give this bad boy a try. I was able to wakeboard in my clothes and stay completely dry!

We also made Jeff get in without a dry-suit or wetsuit.

What a great way to spend the evening!

POMP & CIRCUMSTANCE

Jeff just graduated with his Master's degree in Athletic Administration. He has worked so hard these past few years. Holding down a full-time, super-busy job and going to school. I don't know how he has been able to function. Some semesters he was was up until 2:30a.m. just about every night. Then he would wake up at 5:00 a.m. to go workout. I seriously don't know how he managed that kind of sleep pattern. He did it without complaining. Way to go Jeff.

I sure LOVE this handsome, hard-working, caring, talented, outgoing, helpful, understanding, devoted, adventurous, happy, hugable, genuine and spiritual man.

Congratulations daddy...we are so proud of you!

COUSIN PARTY

My sister's boy just turned three so Bonkin and Papa wanted to have a little pizza party for him. Six cousins and three best buddies equals one wild birthday bash. Nine kids under the age of six was quite the entertainment. They all had such a good time together.

Big eaters! These two little ladies can out eat the boys...NO JOKE!

You gotta love the mess chocolate cake makes.

It was so funny to look in the rear view mirror and see so many kids.

Burks decided she needed some rest and relaxation from all the commotion. I walked into my room and found her with the ear buds in and she was trying to figure out how to turn on the music. I got it turned on for her and she stayed like this for about five minutes. She usually doesn't hold still for five seconds.

A FEW GOOD PHOTOS

Jeff's cousin got married in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple in April. While we were waiting for the happy couple to come outside we snapped a few photos of the kids.

My favorite

My beautiful Burks

So happy together :)

SPRING SPORTS

SOCCER

Ammon loves soccer!

After he scored he started doing this little number!

BENGAL TRIATHLON

We did it!

We were lucky to get a nice day for the Bengal Tri. We have had a cold and wet spring so it has been difficult to get on the bike. We have yet to go Mt Biking...FER HECKS SAKES! I need to get on the trails. Sorry about that little side note. We are hoping to get some warmer and dryer weather so we can get in some good rides before the next triathlon.

GRIZZY'S GO TO SUN VALLEY

This year we finally got a girl's trip planned. We all headed up to Sun Valley for three days of eating...no joke! Have you ever planned a trip that revolved around food?

Heading up Bald Mountain for a fancy lunch. You should have seen all the heads we turned as 18 classy Grizzys paraded through the base of the slopes to get to the gondola!
