Simon's blessing

Hey family, sorry this is such short notice, but we wanted to let everyone know we are blessing Simon tomorrow. It is at 9 am and the church is on the corner of 300 north and 500 east in Logan. We are having a little brunch at our house right after sacrament meeting. We'd love to have any of you there, but we know it's way short notice so if you can't make it, no problem. Love you all!

The Race Is On.....Spudman 2011

Last years Baird Reunion @ the Spudman has spurred on the past and some future triathletes!

This years entrants are:

Russ, Karina, Mitcheal, Zach Smith, Dustin, Jeremy, Brad, Angie, Juanee, Ryan, Scott, Seth, Nicole, Dane and Zac Dunn.

It was so great last year to have so many of our family participate. It made me a little veclempt every time one of you passed the finish line, soooo, rather than cry a whole bunch of times, I too, (Sydney) will be attempting the race, or as I would rather call it, the challenge. Race would be a term meaning, a contest of speed. I believe just staggering across the finish line some time before sundown will be victory enough!

OK, we have but five months to train for those who need it.....those who can consider it optional, (ie; Jeremy and Seth) feel free to wait and kill yourself off in one day again!

BABY HUGIE
Coming April 18 2011........

Payton and I couldn't be more thrilled!
I'll keep everyone posted along the way.

Everybody ready for the big Race?

HOO-RAY! Glad to see some new posts on the blog! Sorry, I haven't posted in a while but I've been pretty busy, what with my RIGOROUS* training for the upcoming Spudman and all. It'll be great to see you all this weekend, I can't wait!!!

*Rigorous, as defined not by the distance and quality of my running, but the shear force of my awesome workout playlist, consisting of mostly 80's power ballads and foreign dance electronica. Here are a just few samples. Behold and tremble, teams Barlow, Garner and McConkie. Team Baird, Baird and Cooksey (Or, the Nefarious BBC) is fueled by the power of RRROOOCCCKKK!!! AAAARRGGHHHH!!!




(Keep watching. At about 1:14 this lady show's you how to really get into it.)

P.S. Thanks for posting Nicole! See if you can figure out how to help other people to be able to post. Sorry, I'm a good setter upper, but not a very good explainer...er. :-/

Training!

Just to get the ball rolling, I thought I'd post to tell you guys that I'm getting stoked for the spudman! I've discovered a new workout video that is great! Me and Alyssia have been doing it together and we've really noticed a huge difference! Not only do you feel good, but you look good too! Check it out!

Welcome!

Hey Everybody! welcome to the blog! I finally got this thing up and running! I figured this might be a good way for us to all keep in touch a little better as we all head out in different directions. We have such a talented family and we want to know what you're up to! Feel free to post comments, pictures, videos, fun stories, news updates, discussions or anything else you want to to make this blog interesting! On the left side, you'll notice I posted an "events" gadget, so let me know of any upcoming events and I'll post 'em! Also, I'm going to be adding links to everybody's family blogs or websites, so it will be easy to just click and see what's new in everybody's family. I'm kinda new at this, so lemme know what else I can do to make the blog better. I don't want anybody to feel pressure like they have to post stuff, but I hope we'll all use it to keep in touch a little better. Enjoy!
