Wheee....


Will has been on this kick for the last month or so that he needs to get a dual purpose bike, basically a dirt bike that is street legal. He ran into a cousin at his family reunion a few weeks back that owns bikes and said he would invite us out one weekend to ride with his family. This past weekend was the weekend....dirt, dirt bikes, heat and sagebrush what more could you ask for. As far as my boys were concerned (Will included) this was going to be a blast. McKinley and I weren't to sure about riding dirt bikes.



Will took the first turn out and was more convinced than ever that he really needs a bike. Keegan was first up for the kids and he did great his first time out. The second time around he got a little over confident and went down in a nice soft patch of dirt. Bracken was up next, he was the first to crash but it was only a little tip over and he was off again. Cam stayed up both times and even went on a small hill. I should mention we had told the kids to stay off the hills this first time out. I was next and not thrilled about it. I did fine, but don't ever have to ride one again.  McKinley was the last to give it a try, she road around with Will on the back for the first little bit. Then she was off, up and down the rode she went. She had a few scares a long the way, but did awesome. The only problem was stopping for her, the bike was a little heavy for her to hold up and she tipped it twice on herself when she came to a stop. The kids all decided that riding dirt bikes a lot of fun and something we should look into doing more often. But, much to their dismay we won't be out buying bikes any time soon.

4th of July Fun


 
 

The 4th was insane this year....I can't believe how many fireworks were lighting up the sky. Thanks to the amazing deck that came with our house we had prime seating for the amazing display. We watched fireworks, did a few sparkler's and sat down for some yummy smores.

Goodbye

On May 2 we moved out of our West Jordan home. After 11 years I thought it would be a lot harder to leave than it was, of course we will miss our friends, our neighbors, the ward and the schools. But I was really excited about our move.

After everything was pack up and moved out and it was all clean the Greenwoods' came up to say a final goodbye. That part was a little strange, but okay all at the same time. We know we will see them again and they will come hang out with us real soon.
