Isn’t this the cutest picture ever???   It makes my heart smile to see Charlie’s little Strider bike propped up right behind Josh’s bike!  I’m so thankful that Josh and Nathan are good role model uncles for Charlie to look up to! This is what happens when the guys send …

This is Josh’s first time to enter a hill climb in the pro class.   He’s riding in the Great American hill climb at the BMC in Billings, MT.   It’s a ginormous hill and it’s so scary to watch him ride!    Lining up in the gate.  Looking things …

Josh’s dirtbike number, 511, comes from a combination of his basketball jersey numbers.  He was #5 from 5th through 11th grades and he was #11 his 12th grade year!  What a great way to come up with the number for his new sport!

These two both get so excited to see each other!   It warms my heart to see them enjoy each other’s company.  

Anyone who knows me very well will know that I don’t usually drink coffee.   When I do, look out!    One of these little instant, single serving coffee packets literally lasts me an entire week!   I barely put a little flick of it into the mint chocolate protein …

Someone is getting SO big drinking out of his very own SIPPY cup!    These cups are much different than the ones we used when our kids were this age!  For starters, this one doesn’t spill.   It has a flexible, pop up straw which comes out when you open …

Back in January Josh bought a couple of snowmobiles.  The boys have enjoyed using them out in our hay field this winter.  

Nathan found himself with a volunteer job during this year’s high school basketball season! He became the team’s SOUNDMAN!   His job was to run the playlist during the varsity boys basketball warm up time, have the mic set up and ready for the announcer, and be sure the song …

Nathan has a contagious laugh which you can see expressed in this great photo of him!  He’s 11 1/2 now and over 1/2 way through the 6th grade! It’s hard to believe this is the last year I’ll have a student in elementary school.  We’ll be on to Junior High …

Charlie has discovered his teeth!!!  While Amanda and I were out shopping at Target, we heard the distinct sound of teeth grinding!  You can tell by the look on his face exactly what he’s doing!  ACK!!!  Nothing hurts my ears more than the sound of grinding teeth.
