Dirt Dreams

Keaton starts every day talking about motorcycles. He, like our other children who apparently have motor oil in the blood, is obsessed. Every day multiple times we have to have a dirtbike conversation and assure him we'll go soon.

Devon tearing it up, this bike was too big last year and it's his first bike with a clutch-there's a lot to remember and often frustrating for him but when it all goes well...he's living in his own little dream world with fans cheering and narily clad women waiting to give him trophies. No pics of Bryce because two days ago he was run over by an oncoming bike. He was riding in the mountains of Idaho City on a "guy ride" with his dad when he was hit head on by a @#$#@#. Travis threw his bike down, we all know this took a lot because he LOVES that bike-I joke it's his well kept mistress, and out of fear and anger was ready to take the guy on. Bryce being Bryce, got between five full grown men with testosterone oozing and defused the situation. He's pretty amazing-I heard several times from Tony he couldn't believe how he stepped in the middle and apologized stating it was his fault and pushing Tony and his dad back to their bikes..I've always said politician-maybe a diplomat?

Outing with the Oldhams

Brrrr....notice the snow not that far up the mountain. That water was so cold, Kyle was trembling and teeth were chattering but would he stay out of the water? Heck no.
Keaton had so much fun filling in the holes Devon dug.
He informed us it doesn't have to be HOT to make California raisins(it would be inappropriate to provide an explanation-think shrivel)...Ohhh so cold.
At least Rachel was smart enough to stay out of the water and sun herself with me.

This is a happy face. The rest of the trip my hands were busy and I got no other pics-but it was good times.

Bowling For Buzzards

Oh what fun to be a kid.
Waha-hooweee!!
Strike! I just scored my first perfect bowling game.
Gus didn't know what to think of the kids catching air-he wanted to do it sooooo bad.
And he made it.

Take A Load Off...

So Gus has found a new favorite place to nap...notice he has just enough butt cheek on the couch to have to stand on his tippy toes.
