One Day Riders

This is the third year in a row that Josh has rode the STP. After riding it the first year he decided that one of these years he would ride it in one day. That year was this year.

Here are the boys in Tenino. This is where Sue and I met up with them first.

Leaving Centralia, this is the halfway mark.

They made it! 205 miles in one Day!
11 hours & 35 minutes on their bikes.

Josh and B at the finish line. B was a little trooper that day, but I couldn't get a decent picture of him that shows his shirt. Oh Well, how much can I ask for?! He was dressed for the occasion wearing a shirt with a bike on it that said Sweet Ride.

Between the boys making minimal stops and chasing a 10 month old around, I didn't get very many pictures. Check out Zach and Kim's and Jason and Sue's blogs for more pictures.

Fourth of July

After being out of town for a week a relaxing weekend at home sounded nice. We entertained the idea of going camping with Jason and Sue, but instead we talked them into coming up and spending the weekend with us.

Saturday we took Branson to the town pool for the first time. He loved it! I am anticipating that we will be spending lots of days there.

That night we headed out to the shop and had a fire, roasted marshmallows and watched the fireworks.B and his Grandpa

Swimming was such hard work, B couldn't stay awake for the fireworks.

Surprise!

Last week Mom, Branson and I showed up at Bethany's front door. Holly was out the beginning of June and mentioned to Mom that she should try to come out for Bethany's upcoming baby shower. From there plans just took off and before I knew it we were on a plane headed for Minneapolis.

I didn't get very many pictures, but here are a few from this past week. Bethany informed me I didn't need very many pictures to post, just a couple of B and she would be happy. Hopefully this does the trick.

B made his first trip to the dentist when we went to visit Auntie Holly's work.

While we were in Minnesota there was some major thunder showers. One night after dinner Holly and I had to wade thru water past our knees to get to her car. Bethany had to take Ben to the hospital for his rotations the weekend we were there, here they are in their rain gear in an attemp to stay dry on the way to the car.

After our quick trip to Minnesota I spent a few days at Dad and Mom's. I did some work for the symphony, so B got some quality time with grandpa.

It took Grandpa and Branson two days to mow the lawn because B kept falling asleep.

Branson was grandma's little helper in the kitchen.

Stay tuned for news of Baby Beebs arrival. We are so excited to be an Uncle, Auntie and Cousin!
