Spudman 2008

Cole raced in the Spudman Triathlon today in Burley, Idaho. He drove up last night with Bryon Prince and the race was this morning (7-26). It was an olympic size triathlon which is a mile swim, 25 (40k) mile bike and 6.2 (10k) mile run. As you can see from the first pic, the swim is down the Snake River so there is a little bit of a current to swim with which Cole was grateful for. Unfortunately someone drown during the race today.



Coming in to T2-bike to run transition. Hot bod! Ow Ow. :-)





Thanks for taking care of my husband, Bry! It was so nice of you to go with him. You are the best!





Finished in 2 hours, 40 minutes. Which was awesome especially since this was his first triathlon. He did not train much...and he never ran 6 miles. He said his right hamstring and quad started to tighten up pretty bad the last mile and a half or so. Good work Cole!!!!

The Crush

For the past seven years, our friends have been playing softball together under the alias "The Crush". Many good times have been had on the softball diamond. It has been particularly enjoyable to watch the ex-con looking men and shemen of the other teams as we play. Classic! Best Utah has to offer. :-)


Jaxon has become our #1 fan. He wears his jersey to every game.







Cole has also been playing in a league with some buddies for the past 4 years or so. Grandma and Grandpa Nakker come and watch once in a while. Jaxon loves to hang out with them.

The Crush...continued.

Jaxon likes hanging out and watching his uncles (Jeremy up top and Brett below) play ball too!

Tinfoil Dinner Night

We had a fun tinfoil dinner night up Big Cottonwood with a bunch of friends. It was nice to get out of the valley heat. The best part was the desert: Pillsbury crescent rolls rolled on a roaster and lightly cooked over the fire then rolled in melted butter and cinnamon and sugar. Delicious. Amazing that we are just a short drive away from some of the most gorgeous terrain in the country.
