You beat me to it but you must emphasize that this team is made up of sink family members

Triathalon

I'm not sure if Benny or Chris posted about the three of us doing a triathalon or not (Chris is running, Benny is biking, and I'm swimming), but I just need to state for the record that Benny is lucky I'm such a nice person. I said yes without thinking this through. Now, I'm dreaming about this and beginning to freak out a little. I have not exercised in years, and that includes swimming laps. I just hope they have a lane designated for the unhealthy ones. I may be thin, but that does not mean that I'm in shape and I'm fairly sure I will be proving this Sunday. I really need to find my swim cap, goggles, and a one-piece swimsuit (I'm not even sure I own one anymore!) This will be interesting...

The Cains would like to announce new addition of cain-ines

Maggie had 4 puppies on August 30th (beagles). There are 2 girls and 2 boys. In the pictures, the girls are on the left and the boys on the right (birth order just like the boys holding them). She had them 6 days after returning home from vacation at Grandma and Grandpa Dahlgren's where she and the other 2 dogs, Lucy and Twister (her daughters from a litter 4 years ago) stayed while the rest of the family vacationed in the Black Hills.

What a vacation! It was a camping trip and the first night in the South Dakota Badlands there was a storm and wrecked the tent! So we wound up spending 8 nights in the van - oh joy! Every night we had to rearrange things, move car seats, put the bed down in the back, recline a couple seats, get out sleeping bags and then put it all back so we could drive the next day. Of course the boys were so cooperative and appreciated the trip and didn't argue and fight at all! NOT!! We threatened that next vacation they will stay at Grandma's and Mom and Dad will go alone. We also saw Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Jewel Cave, Custer State Park, Devil's Tower and Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. It was at this last night in ND that we were a little glad to NOT be in the tent - we woke in the morning to find a herd of bison wandering through the campground!

The puppies are turning out to be a great distraction from the very strange quiet of the house since the boys went back to school on the 8th of September - ALL the boys. Matthew started Kindergarten (all day every day), Jacob second grade, Zachary fourth grade and Nicholas sixth grade.

I would welcome suggestions for names (calling them #1, #2, #3 and #4 is getting old). I am looking for a theme with 2 girls and 2 boys, any of which would be acceptable names to be stuck with forever since I am hoping to have my next show dog here. For example, the kids thought of Narnia - great names except we already have a Lucy. Any other great movies or books or whatever with 4 characters, 2 of each gender?

The Sink name continues on......

Had an Ultrasound today, I'm 19 weeks, and it's a boy. No doubt about it! So, the Sink name will go on. And there shouldn't be as much pressure on Kyle to have a boy when he is grown and old enough that is. Just wanted to update everyone.

Happy Anniversary

If you two would be home once in a while we could have a party, I think you're getting as bad as the Bender's. Hope you are having a great Anniversary and trip!!

Cedar Point

We went to Cedar Point this past weekend and had so much fun! We went with Carl's family and took the kids with us. They had so much fun riding all sorts of rides. Camden is a huge fan of everything, even some pretty decent sized roller coasters! (We're so proud!) And Grant did really well too. The poor guy went on a roller coaster at 2 that I wouldn't have gone on at 12! Granted, he had his head down and was crying most of the time, but he was a trooper! I think we will have a couple of roller coaster kids some day, which will make some GREAT family trips!

My sister in law taped the roller coaster that Camden really liked. She zooms in a lot on my brother in law and niece, but Carl and Camden are in the seat in front of them. Carl is wearing a green shirt and glasses and Camden is almost impossible to see.

Happy Anniversary Sinks!
