I can't hardly believe that it is November - and almost half way through it. I did break down last weekend and bought 2 Christmas presents that I swore I wasn't going to start buying until Dec 1. I went and did a triathlon with Kim Labrum (bike) and Tanisha Freston (swim) last weekend in Provo. We took 1st place in the women's teams. Kim is awesome on her bike - average speed of 23.4 miles an hour for 10 miles. Tanisha beat all of the team swimmers - including men. I had my best 3.1 mile run since high school. I averaged 7:41 minute miles. I know all of this is boring to most!
My baby turns 1 on Wednesday and it breaks my heart. He has been walking for a while but has really started taking off this past week. He is growing up way to fast (except at night, I still can't wait until he sleeps through it). His personality is growing more each day. The boys wrestle around on the floor and he loves to join in. He usually ends up crying because they are still a little rough for him.
Today was "Christmas at the Olsen's". When Dusty and I first got married he told me the day you ship (sell) calves is almost as good as Christmas. He actually can't sleep the night before. He gets up really early to get everything ready. He talks and talks and talks about the magical day for months in advance. Then, after all is said and done he is completley exhausted. So I would agree, it is just like Christmas! He had Kevin, Ronnie and Brent come and help him sort off his calves then we spent the rest of the day at the Sales Barn. 
I have been slacking and I never posted a picture of Rayce's pre-school program. All of the parents came and they sang and came trick-or-treating. It was so fun to see him. This picture is of Rayce and his teacher. She is so increadible. Rayce just loves her and is so excited to go to school.
It isn't very often you see Wayke being nice to Ridge. He is usually trying to wrestle him or carry him. Ridge wasn't sure if he wanted Wayke so close. Hopefully, they'll all be best friends when their older. (The sooner the better!)

I got the invite thanks for being so prompt I love the pictures and I am happy that your triatholon went so well and Christmas too, men are so funny.
They are all growing so fast. Nice work on the triatholon. I'm glad that Dusty enjoyed his Christmas, and last when you figure out how to get Ridge to sleep through the night let me know, Knox is 17 months, and I want my sleep back.
I'm pretty sure you told me about a month ago that you were done with races this year. What happened to that???????? You are really starting to make the rest of us look bad. Would you quit already :)
Great tie on your run. That is amazing to me-you get better with age!
Glad you got started on the Christmas shopping. I have been working on mine for many weeks.
It is great to see part of what Dusty does. That Christmas feeling is different for all of us.
Loved the pictures of the boys! They are SO cute! And I really think they will be friends. it's not perfect, but I know that my boys really like one another now, and that is so good to see as a mother.
Would you stop making the rest of the world look like lazies???? ;) HEY! I need to get my pots I left at your house from you! LOL I can't make chicken soup!
You're boys are too dang cute! It's so cute to see Wayke trying to give Ridge a hug. I love when kids do that! Great job on the race. That's super duper fast.
Awesome job on the race, I asked Kim about how it as we were passing in the halls on Sunday and she just was kidda like oh it was good, but sounds like you guys did great, I'll have to give her a hard time about first place not being good enough! The picture of Wayke and Ridge is dang cute.
