New Wheels

Okay, so they aren't that new anymore, but we are still super excited about them. It all started about a year ago when my mom moved to Walla Walla and bought a cruiser bike. She reported to me that she got a new bike and it was hot pink and had a basket on it for her to carry her stuff in. After that I started trying to convince Josh that I needed a bike to ride around town, and a cruiser like mom's would be perfect. I have a road bike and he has a rode bike and a mountain bike so he tried to convince me that I could get a mountain bike and use that for my in town travels. After a year of Josh and I debating about bikes we were in downtown Wenatchee and a store had there cruisers displayed outside. I talked Josh into taking one for a test ride and he was sold! Josh said he had a smile on his face the whole time he was riding it.

For those of you who know my husband you will know that we did not buy any bikes that day. We went home and researched cruiser bikes. The next day we went to a bike shop in Leavenworth and test road some more. After going home and researching some more Josh went back to the bike shop and bought his. He got an Electra Ghostrider and I ordered a Pink Betty. We are loving our bikes. We go on nightly rides around town and to get the mail. My basket is perfect for a trip to the store. We haven't drove our car in town since we got our bikes in May.Our nightly trip to get the mail

NCW District Fair

This past weekend was the fair here in Waterville. We love having a a fair less than a mile from our house.

Friday night we went to the Emerson Drive concert. Josh's parents bought us tickets for our anniversary. It was fun to go on a date with just the two of us.

Braden had a booth at the fair. It was fun to have him stay with us for a few days.

Braden and Josh tried their hand at team roping.


Getting advise from a real cowboy

On Sunday Josh was in the "Dunk Tank." For this dunk if you make a basket you can pull the string that will drench the person sitting underneath the toilet.

Some of the players on Josh's team had a great time torturing him.

Josh enjoyed being able to drench someone else after his shift was over
