Friday November 9th

 Day before Jeff's Triathalon we woke up to a Winter Wonderland!

 Trying to capture what a sweet and happy baby Banks is!

 Do you like pumpkin cheesecake?  This is Alayna's recipe (thanks Al).  I think its super super yummy!  And the best part is I've found after making lots of cheesecakes..because this one has sweetened condensed milk..it doesn't crack!  (I do also bake it in a waterbath which I think helps) But I always get so frustrated when my cheesecakes crack.  MMMmmm thanks so much for the recipe Alayna.  This was exactly what I needed post-primary program to celebrate.  We had our program yesterday and it went really well.  Its nice to have it done.  :)  Then I came home and indulged in cheesecake!

 Jeff did his first triathalon at the Orem Rec Center Saturday.  If you remember the first picture I posted, you know there was tons of snow!  So they ended up canceling the bike portion.  So he ran first (3 miles) then did a cross fit work out (in place of the 11 mile bike) then swam 350 meters in an indoor pool.  He did awesome!  He finished his run in 22 minutes.  Way to go Jeff!  I was so proud of him for doing it despite the poor weather conditions.  

Jeff did the triathalon with his good friend in our ward Erik Lono. 

Way to go Jeff!  You did soo awesome!

 The swimming portion.  They wouldn't let spectators down in the pool area.
