Just a couple of fun pictures from a few of our walks around these parks....

Spokane Ridin'

This year we decided to fly to Spokane, since we only had about 10 days available in between cheer and soccer practice. I had asked Winston about renting a bike, but a few people volunteered to lend me one of their own bikes instead.

The day after we landed in Spokane I picked up the bike from Ken Collins, and took it for a ride through town and the Gonzaga campus on the way back to our apartment. I had a few problems with the bike when I was using it, but it was still very much appreciated to be able to ride a bike again in Spokane.

I did a few other really fun rides, namely around Newman and Hauser lakes, as well as up and down Mount Spokane for the 6th straight year. I'm not sure how many more times we'll be going back to Spokane in the summer over the next several years, so it was great to be able to ride again while we were out there.

So Proud

These pictures make me smile.

Julia, congratulations on making Co-Captain for the Pine Creek JV Cheer squad! Jonathan, it was really fun to see your latest Go West adventure at Pueblo Reservoir!

Going out to eat at P.F. Chang's, matching t-shirts, playing Risk with my boy Jonathan, and a thoughtful gift from my family...

Jonathan's 13th Birthday

Happy 13th Birthday Buddy! We love you very much.

Bikes!

We've had a really wet spring, so things are really green. I've taken a few really nice pictures and felt like I should upload them to the blog so I can enjoy them at some later date.

But more importantly Jonathan got a new bike! It's almost like the moment he became a teenager he got a real bike that he can grow into over the next several years.
