Finally the two awesome ones are attending the same school! Pretty exciting times for both!
The family drive to school! Everyone is happy and ready for the first day!
Guess who has been ready for school for a VERY long time!?!?
Drew scoping out the kids in her class! She knew a few from her pre-school days!
Brady was also excited to attend his first day as a First Grader! Time to step up and be a big boy
For some reason I always get a laugh out of these silly things!
Who said that training wasn't a family affair? With thousands of miles logged in, one of my favorite rides are the ones where my family comes out and offers support for a big race! Derek W., I still love my kit as you can see!
Nothing like getting water sprayed in your face while hitting a lil bitty hill! Thanks Brady, Drew and Melissa for the efforts and time! Lets hope it all pays off in the end right?!
Sorry for the huge gap in posting pics and updates! Just been busy watching the Tour de France, kids, World Cup and riding bikes in the area etc. More pics to come in the very near future!
Whats a 4th of July without fireworks right?!
In keeping with tradition, those are hard to break here, we hit up our freinds, Bruce & Kim's house, as we have been for the past 4 years. For Drew, taking the plunge in the pool from the wall was her goal before getting to the party, goal met! She it not once, but several times! CRAZY GIRL!
While lil sister Drew was busy jumping in the pool, Brady was just excited to get to drink a WHOLE can of soda!
On the 3rd of July, the city of Colfax celebrated their festivities! Tia Dani took Drew to get her face painted, which lasted a good 24hrs! Thanks Tia Dani!
So the past few days has been hotter than two rats humpin' in a wool sock! How to stay cool? Many different options: Gym pool, Rec Center, Slip & Slid and a water hose at the front of the house.
These options arent the super special option of a pool in our backyard, which isnt a financial option. However, these options work, the kids have fun and laugh, so what else do we need? A $50,000 pool???? Naaaaahhhh!
This is by far one of the cutest pictures I have taken of Brady in a long time! Dude just doesnt like cameras nor pictures! So this one is ultra rare and worth the wait!
Then there's Drew, camera whore basically! She loves to have Daddy take pics and can pose really well! One thing is for sure, they are getting bigger and are growing at rapid speed!
...just look at the poor guy, the face first dude still attached to the bike! Filho da puta didnt even see it coming it looks like! I guess I can be thankful to years of Judo and BMX for my falling skills..for what its worth right?!?
No words, just horror!
Dead bike...walking?!? Nahhh, "dead bike, dead!"
Last weekend was the weekend of the year, our good friend Stephanie came out from St. Louis to catch the Tour of California and also get a dose of family life with us! The link below will send you to a few shots, some cool, some funny, so be prepared! Thanks for coming out Steph!
Brady had his first Open House this past week! WOW, what a change in his writing and math skills! he has made such strides and we're looking forward to First Grade!
There's the big huge hole! It happened this afternoon, Hollie from the kids day care pulled the thing out! GROSS!
Brady was ready for the Tooth Fairy to come tonight, let's see what she brings!
So Brady has been working hard at pushing out his first tooth! We think the time has finally come! We're guessing that it should happen sometime by the middle of May!
The updated deck! We kept the stones, but they are totally redone. In other words, we pulled them out, pulled out the trees, and thousands of roots, resanded the base, replaced a few stones and now its a much cleaner look! New table, new sitting furniture, umbrellas, and water fountain.
