Blessing of Weston Ross Abbott

These are two pictures Renee took for us over at the temple the night we blessed Weston. The blessing was held at my parents house with almost all of our immediate family. Kevin did a great job. He is a great example to his three boys.

Mill's Creek in Moab

The next day we drove to Moab, UT. After lunch we went to a little swimming hole that we found in one of our hiking books. It was so much fun. It was a little canyon that the river had created a natural little water slide. The boys had so much fun sliding down again and again. I think we stayed there close to 3 hours. It was a great break from the drive.

Carlsbad's Caverns

As usual for our summer vacation we went to Utah. We decided to make the actual drive up and back part of the vacation. Good things cause I think those are about the only pictures we took the whole 2 1/2 weeks we were gone. The first stop on the way up was Carlsbad Caverns. It was really cool. We just did the free tour that you can walk around the "great room." But after the 1 1/2 walk around there the boys' feet had had enough of their new shoes. It's really hard to take good pictures in there. It was amazing that all that is just under ground out in the middle of no where.

Weston Smiles

Is that just the cutest smile.

Happy Birthday and Father's Day Kevin

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Weston

Here are the most recent pictures of Weston. Sorry none are all that cute. The top is on laundry day. He was just hangin' out with me while I folded. He is starting to smile. The boys love it. He is such a good baby. At his two month appointment he was 10 lbs 7 oz and 22 1/2 inches. He is 25% in both. The doctor said being 5 weeks early that they give them til they are 2 yrs old to catch up.

Happy 5th Birthday Kale Boy

Kale's birthday is June 15th and Kevin is June 14th. But this year Kale's ended up falling on Sunday and Father's Day. Which just didn't work with the plans that Kale had made. Breakfast - Krispy Kreme Lunch Tuna Fish sandwiches and Dinner at Chuck E Cheese and then swimming and cake. So we decided to switch their birthday's this year. We also added going to Kung Fu Panda. It was a really fun day.

Just more pictures

Capital of Texas Triathlon

Kevin did it! He completed the Olympic distance Cap Tex Tri last weekend. He is incredible. I am so proud of him. Not only for completing the triathlon but also for being a member of Team in Training and raising over $3000 dollars to help those with lymphoma and leukemia. The Team in Training members that competed in just this event raised over $900,000. Thanks to all who donated.
The triathlon was in Austin. Kevin swam a mile in Town Lake, biked 25 miles on a four loop course that went around the capital and then ran a 10k that was a two loop. So we were able to see him a lot during the race. Unfortunately it was incredibly hot and humid. Each time he went by on his bike I could see the sweat just pouring off the end of his nose. I think he had some dehydration issues. He had goose bumps the whole time he was running on black top in 100 degree weather. I was so glad to see him finish!! We are so proud of him.
