The cake I made her for her St. Croix raceI cannot begin to express the way I feel! I am so proud of my niece Bree. She is an awesome athlete! Where did it come from??? Our family? Seriously though- she has been given an unbelievable gift from God- and she's taken that gift and perfected it! Our family is so proud of ALL the person she is and Wee are cheering her on today as she does Ironman Japan! She is going to win...I can feel it! Go Bree Go- We love you and are cheering you on! As of 8:20 p.m. (eastern time) saturday time she is currently in 1st! We will continue to watch the computer for updates and keep her in our prayers! If you are reading this please say a prayer for her! Wish her the best- Send your love all the way to Japan- she may just need it at this very moment!

Oh man...she really has a gift from God...she right in the center of it!!!! Wish we could all be physically together cheering her on. Oh yeah, we did that...before her wedding day, remember? Lets do it again!!!!
How proud and excited your family must be to have Bree in it...she is amazing!!!! She is so lucky to have such a wonderful family that sticks by her:)
BTW: NO Pat was NOT in CA....it was a joke on Bree...don't let HIM tell you other wise:) Look how fake that photo of him and E on his site is :) he is a funny man!!
Oh I forget to tell you about the weather...YEAH...we've been getting lightening and thunder since Wednesday but today was the worst...good sleeping weather. :0)
Are you planning to stay up all night in the WEE hours to see WEE finish?
I dont know. I read on the internet that they have openings at the Y in Boynton but Im going to see about the local Y thats near my house. My friend whos the head of the palm beach said that they will have one opening for a beach lifeguard in October. Just like Bree, one slot, one opening, and super competitive...my, my...its all going to be down to the run...Im anxious too!!!! Bruce Steward can translate so he
will have a much faster update than Pat. Good night. Will be praying...ttyl...maybe tomorrow.
I wish you guys were here.... Oh man oh mighty this is coming down to it.. where is she?????
Nick and I are here... waiting and waiting.. I just want to see her through the finish - I need to know it's real...
It was still a great race for Bree, only that Naomi was at her best today (she grazed her arm but still pushed on!). I did swim this morning. I started when Bree was 20 minutes into her swim, and I went non-stop for the first 2.4 miles (3,850 meters) in about 1hr 16mins. I can't compare with her 52 mins 52 secs, but at least it was good to be in the water for at least 30 minutes at the same time.
I don't know if it is strictly only one slot. Is that firmly set in concrete? Anyway, I hope Coach Paul had a contingency (backup) plan in place for her. Everyone wants to see Bree race at Kona. I hope Bree won't have too many hard races this year, but I guess that's life for a pro. In closing, I am seeing this race finish in the afternoon. It is good I'm not in Florida now!
Great images of the family Cricket! You guys are blessed! what a great family!
You know my prayers were with Bree the whole time!!
oh thanks for this post... you guys are the best family a girl could ever have!
