This is old hat for Emma, who is seemingly so grown up (which makes me feel veeeery old), but it was a shock to the system for lil' Samchez. But he was brave and put both ... http://www.dwightcookfamily.com/2008/08/23/back-to-school-adventures/ Click on this link for a Countdown To The Cruise http://www.dwightcookfamily.com/2008/08/22/come-aboard-were-expecting-you/ The Top of Utah Half Marathon is this Saturday.

Tonya and Lil' Duke joined the festivities on Saturday and I matched wits with Sandra and Sneaky at Speed Scrabble on Sunday. I also was demolished by Faith on Wii ... http://www.dwightcookfamily.com/2008/08/18/wii-had-a-fun-weekend/ I just wanted to be the first person to say: TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE CRUISE!

Sadly, it was the bishop's dog and now I'm pretty much doomed to ... http://www.dwightcookfamily.com/2008/08/12/hardest-movie-quiz-ever-created/ Kim mentioned this in one of the posts and if you missed this race you really shouldn't.  Everyone should watch this even if it is the only thing of the Olympics you watch (you shouldn't miss any of the Olympics).  I knew the results when I watched this and I ... http://www.dwightcookfamily.com/2008/08/12/mens-400-freestyle-relay/ Last year we went to Lagoon and poor little Samchez had a terrible asthma attack. This year we came prepared and we came on a Monday, which meant less tube tops, mullets, mesh shits, daisy dukes and bikinis on bodies that have no business wearing bikinis. We never waited more ... http://www.dwightcookfamily.com/2008/08/11/lagoon-redeux/ Those are the words at the first of this cool Nike commercial I saw today while watching the Olympics. It doesn't hurt that Nike set the commercial to a sweet song by "The Killers." Good stuff, just like the Olympics. http://www.dwightcookfamily.com/2008/08/10/everything-you-need-is-already-inside/ So, Scott did a nauvice triathlon this morning.  He loved it.  He wants to do  a full one next time.  He did pretty good except for the swimming.  He needs to work on that.  He's been running with his partner in Las Vegas and he's the one who got him ... http://www.dwightcookfamily.com/2008/08/09/triathlon/
