July 24th in Wyoming

I went out to my mom's for the 24th and Mandy and the kids went along. We had a great time being there. Kristian was able to hang out with Grandpa Brad and work on the tractor. Addi was so brave in the swing and developed her artistic abilities. It was fun to be there for the festivities and to spend time with the family!

Goldilocks in Idaho...July 2011

Last year, Lisa and I rode in a women's only bike ride in Vegas. We then did the same one earlier this year in Herriman. They added one in Meridian, Idaho so we decided to do that one as well. My sister Heather and her family live in Meridian so they accommodated us and allowed us to stay with them.

Avery came along. I think that she had a great time finding out what it was like to have four other sisters and to only have girls in the house...except for when Drew was home!

Heather and Drew were very supportive and brought the girls to cheer us on during the race. That made going the 40+ miles just a little bit easier! The girls all had noise makers they used when they saw us! They were great to cheer on all the riders!

Pat and Steve were very welcoming as well. They had us all out to Star for a BBQ and the girls had a great time...chasing the rabbits, riding the little 4-wheeler truck, feeding the fish and playing games.

Chasing bunnies on a leash isn't as easy as it may seem!
