Strike!
We hung out with our GIRL cousins over Thanksgiving break. It was great to even out the vote in the house. Loved our bowling night. Breven and Emma made us laugh so hard.
Scouts
Here are two out of three of our scouts. Brad has worked so hard to become an Eagle Scout. He is getting closer. At this recognition night he advanced to the rank of "star" scout.
More Desert Fun
Bruce and Kim decided to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in the desert with all their kids and grandkids. We circled the wagons and had so much fun riding quads, going for jeep rides and of course shooting! We even got to visit our Blythe fam too!
Halloween Fun

We had a great time at our annual Trunk or Treat! Breven was a bow shooter complete with arrows of course. Bryce and I broke out our Groovy 70's threads. Boy are we glad we were born in this generation. Our nephews came along for the fun too. Cooper even won most original for his plate o' spaghetti costume. Yes, Brad won too with his kissing booth costume. The scariest part of the night.......It was HIS idea AND he made lots of money! Oh no.....we are in for trouble!
The Finisher!
Brad ran x-country again this year. He is so fun to watch. He gives it his all. I love to watch him cross the finish line because he always seems to "dig deep" and finish strong! So proud of you Brad.
Run Breven, Run!
Breven entered his first 5K! He did such a great job with a time of 27:02 coming in first place of all the elementary schools that were in the race! Way to Go! He had a fan club along the route as well. After the race he made sure to get his carbo load on!
First Day of School
Mom, really????? Do you still have to take our picture on the first day of school? The answer.....YES! Where does the time go? Brad is in 7th grade and Breven in 3rd. Getting their bikes ready to ride to school was a first. Breathe mom, they're growing up you know.
Race Across the Sky
Our inspiration for this years vacation was RACE ACROSS THE SKY! My brother was chosen to race in one of mountain biking's most prestigious events. Race Across the Sky is a 100 mile intense bike race that few will get the chance to enter and even fewer will finish. It was so inspiring to watch my brother train for such an event, so to have the opportunity to be there on race day was amazing. There is really no way of describing such this race. You really have to check it out for yourself. www.raceacrossthesky.com Uncle Codyman was awesome! He never got off of his bike except to change his tire, twice, and he still came in 9th! Did I mention there were over 1,000 riders! So amazing to be a part of the crew! Thanks for the fun bro! We love you!
Lovin' Leadville
We loved this little town. It's such a gem and well worth the drive. We enjoyed the sights and took in all the fresh air. This place is unreal! We even got to take a couple of practice rides with Uncle Codyman.
Bike Rides, Zip Lines, and Water Slides!
How can you go wrong? The boys had to bike ride everyday. We sometimes pedaled 15 miles! One day we saw an add for a zip line ride over the Colorado River. How could we pass that up right? We didn't get pictures, but we will never forget it. I was the biggest screamer of all! The boys didn't even flinch! FEARLESS! When we finally decided it was time for a hotel for a night instead of our tent we opted for the indoor pool play house complete with water slides! Wooo Hooo!
