Coleman and his Uncle Kevin at the Power game.

Where do I start?
Okay. I have yet to post anything about our trip because I'm too overwhelmed by the amount I have to share! First things first. Our vacation was fantastic! We started it with a bang by meeting family in N. Carolina and going to Carowinds Amusement Park. Coleman had a blast and is now officially not afraid of anything! I think if he were tall enough, Will would've had to take him on the big coasters. He had a blast and he can't wait to go back.
Next, we went up to WV and everytime we went up or down a hill (which is all the time in WV!), Coleman would say "Weeee!" like it was a roller coaster. It was really fun to see family and be at home for a little while. It always good to reconnect. We went to a performance by the No Pants comedy troupe (No, they are not naked! They wear shorts!) that my brother-in-law is in. They basically do improv comedy like that one show that Drew Carey does. There is lots of audience participation. In fact, Will, Coleman, and I all got a chance to get on stage at one point or another. That was really fun. Although, I definitely don't think on my feet very well. I think I'll stick to what I do best, heckling! Just kidding. I'm not a good heckler either. In fact, I am not an attention seeker. I just much prefer being a wallflower.
Also, while in WV we stayed with my sister Celeste and her boyfriend for a few days. She hosted the big July 4th BBQ at her house because she's got a fantastic pool. There was so much good food! It was really fun. Oh, and Will and I ran in the Riverfest 5k in St. Albans and I got 2nd place in my age bracket! I got a trophy and everything! I beat my last time by nearly 2 minutes! It really is easier to run at a lower altitude.
That reminds me, I need to find a race for Will and I to do this month. I better get on that.
WV offered lots of unhealthy, greasy, yummy food that I just couldn't wait to eat! I had a Tudor's biscuit the morning after we arrived and helped myself to some Dunkin' Donuts after our race. Those were the two things that I really had to have while we were there. And they were worth every stinkin' calorie!
We ended our trip to WV by going to a baseball game in the new Power Park in downtown Charleston. Uncle Kevin bought Coleman a baseball helmet and a little wooden baseball bat and Coleman was ready to play as soon as he put them on. He asked us if he was on the team. He's so cute!
Well, I'll get to the rest of the trip on the next post.

Too tired to write...
Oh, man! What a long day! Will and I got up early to run the Lehi Round-Up 5k at the high school. (I beat my last time by a minute and half!) After we got home, we got the boys up and ready to go to Lagoon. Coleman had fun riding the kiddie rides but was really excited about the water park. We ended up spending most of our time there and it was hot! I think it got up to about 96 degrees. Ugh! That just zaps the energy right out of you. After Lagoon, we headed over to a luau at a church in Salt Lake. It was really fun and the food was amazing! I think I need to run another 5k now to work off all that teriyaki chicken I ate. :) Man, I just couldn't stop eating! I shouldn't have to eat for at least three days.
Oh, I got the heart monitor results a couple of days ago. Bradycardia. Looks like the worst case scenerio would be a pacemaker. Right now, we just need to figure out what is causing it. Then we will know how to treat it. My doctor says that sometimes the cardiologist will just prescribe adrenalin pills to help keep my heart rate up. I guess I'll find out as soon as I can see the cardiologist (his earliest open appt. was July 27th.) I'm just going to go on vacation and enjoy myself and I'll deal with all this stuff when I get home. Not much else I can do. I feel healthy overall, just a little tired occasionally (but what mom isn't?!) I think we don't realize how truly mechanical our bodies are until the mechanics are a little off. I kind of feel like a broke down car that needs to go to the shop. :) Can I trade this one in for a newer model?
