Geoff, my two bothers, Matt and Seth, and Geoff’s sister’s husband, Nick, signed up as a team to do an Adventure Race in Colorado that happened this last weekend. The adventure race involved running, kayaking, and mountain biking, all while orienteering with a compass to find the correct route. The boys had a great time together and I was so proud of them! This also marked the 20th anniversary of my brother Matt’s kidney transplant (my mom gave him a kidney). In honor of that, I designed a logo for their shirts and they surprised Matt with it. Incase you can’t tell what it is that small, it’s three kidneys and reads “United We Filter”. I thought I was real funny.
The trip started out wonderfully as Matt met up with them in Provo and realized he forgot his mountain bike. Isaac offered his bike to him, but they ended up renting one at BYU and it all worked out fine. 
My favorite story from the trip occurred after the kayaking portion. They quickly changed clothes into biking attire. Nick was looking everywhere for his biking spandex, only to discover that he had grabbed his wife’s. Thank goodness spandex is stretchy!
They finished the course in 5hours and jumped in the car for a long drive home just so they could be back for Mother’s Day for their wives. Aren’t they sweet!

A great trip…I would like to add that Nick was made fun of endlessly for wearing women’s clothing while doing the race. Super funny!
I’m so proud of them too! Great logo, Leah! Can’t tell you how relieved I am to not have a “BYU Cougars” jersey that I’d have to wash & take care of!
Seriously though, a great tribute to Matt and your mom!
On another note, I didn’t realize what a shorty Matt is!
awesome! i’ve always wanted to do one of those, but i’m not brave enough. this post sure makes me want to go try it though. by the way, the spandex story is good.
Fun to see some more pictures! That was so thoughtful of Isaac.
Isaac’s bike is cooler than any bike I’ll ever have. Sounds like it was an amazing adventure.
Can’t believe it’s been 20 years. What an awesome adventure they all got to share together. Sounds like fun!

So who took the pictures. I assume that it wasn’t you. But what great shots…
I’d like to note that the bike shorts have been washed and I DON’T FIT IN THEM ANYMORE! maybe I will need to wash them in hot water…
The t-shirts turned out so great!!
Love the kidney shirt, seriously you should donate the design to an organization or support group for kidney transplantation. Gotta love the humor. You got the coolest family.
Woowhoo! what a awesome race, and awesome racers! And I love the shirts Leah. So your humor (and mine).
