Saturday Riding!

Saturday riding was perfect!  We went out to our favorite "play" spot in the desert for a few hours of relaxation!  It was a blast!!!

Jordan speeding towards me...with no hands!

Saturday was Em's first time on our little quad!  She was soooo excited!

Daddy getting her quad ready!  

There she goes!

Mark taking her down the trail...eventually we got on my quad and just rode next to her!  I was certain that her little thumb was tired, but she never wanted to stop!  She was fearless and I'm certain that we have another little Garrett on our hands!

Jessica!!!

Riding...

Riding is one of the most relaxing things in the world to me. It's kinda like doing the dishes (my favorite chore) but it's fun.... I love the warm water running - I'm a cold wimp. I love the way the noise of the sink lulls out all of the other sounds in the house...i can actually think without being distracted:). I love the instant gratification of it all...the kitchen is perfectly clean...I LOVE a clean kitchen...okay back to riding...:) When we ride, all that you hear is the quiet roar of the bikes...a good place to think. It's usually warm and It's always beautiful! Don't you love my comparison :) Well, there there is nothing that I would rather do than go on a Saturday ride with my family. Yesterday - we went for an afternoon ride...it was 71 degrees outside and perfect! We went with our favorite riding companions and between the 3 families, there were 9 kids! We always are quite the sight!!


Just starting out...Jordan is on the white quad and Garrett has the blue helmet on.


Our favorite place to go is Box Canyon. We're just getting ready to go in! It is narrow and there are lots of boulders to climb over...the kids love it!


This is where we like to stop for lunch. Notice the cross at the bottom of the hill. A man died here in November. Opps...not good!


These are the view's that I love. Pictures don't do it any justice! Can't wait for next Saturday!!!

Houston...we have a problem....

THIS


OR THIS???




Yes...we have a bit of a problem at our house...we are divided :)! Don't know how

we're going to make it the next 3 months....good thing we love each other!!! Even little Garrett tells me every day who HE'S going to vote for! (I haven't had the heart to tell him he has to wait another 13 years.) It makes our nightly dinner conversations a little bit more exciting than "What's the best part of your day?..." We are a household full of strong opinions that's for sure! (Go Obama!!!) oops.....

Best Friends

Mara and Emily are best friends. They can play for hours and not get tired of each other! Mara came over this morning and they spent 45 minutes washing my sliding door with water:)! I have to limit Em to water or she will go through a whole spray bottle of window cleaner in one setting! Love those little girls!
