Jason

Is that not the cutest baby you have ever seen?

Oh my gosh, he is just so adorable. I love his face in this picture. I think it says a lot about his personality. Don't mind the drool on his chin, he is teething like crazy.

Brothers

We tried to get a good picture of the two boys together. Jason just doesn't understand yet how to look and smile cute. Oh well.

When I grow up...

I want to be just like my Daddy. Tyler has his work badge on and Cory's hat. I thought it was so cute....except for the whole tongue thing going on. Why is that Tyler has to pull faces when the camera comes out?? He is super-duper cute though.

I know a handsome boy...

Here is Tyler in the cutest church outfit ever. I got him this new pink shirt a few weeks ago. I thought he looked so adorable in it. I bought Jason a shirt to match Tyler's tie. It is lime green. Unfortunately, I didn't realize we don't have any church pants that fit Jason right now. He's been wearing an outfit to church that is shorts instead of pants. I guess I better go find him some so he and Tyler can look so handsome and matchy together. THen, I will take another picture....oh it will be so cute.

In Training

Angie and I have a couple of physical "feats" that we want to accomplish this summer. As such, we've been talking for quite a while about training, getting in shape, etc. Being the procrastinators we are and having the usual excuse of having two boys to worry about, jobs, commitments, etc., we just never really did much.

That's all changing, if you can count one bike ride as everything changing. In order to accomplish our ultimate goal of climbing Table Rock with Angie's family, we recently decided to participate in Pocatello's Pioneer Day Celebration bike race, and then continue riding together for extended distances, leading up to the hike. Because we're wimps, we'll probably only do the 10 mile course, instead of the 25 mile course. Also, because the race is this coming Saturday, we decided we'd best get hopping.

Today we hitched the boys' trailer to my bike, loaded them up, and headed out for a planned 7 mile round trip. Once we got to the halfway point, we decided we wanted a little more variety and changed our route home. All in all, it ended up being real close to 8 miles round trip, with the hardest part being the hills in the first half. We took about 45 minutes round trip and my cycle computer tells me our average speed was 11 mph. We'll get in at least one more practice run before Saturday, and I figure that by Saturday we ought to be able to do the 10 miles in well less than 1 hour.

Here's the route we took today:


And here's the race day route:


I know the maps aren't the most exciting, but I had to make up for not having taken any pictures today to post. :-)

4th of July weekend

Our trip started Friday morning. We packed everything up and headed to Boise. We first stopped in Twin Falls to see our good friends and then we ended up staying for lunch and playing a nice game of Puerto Rico. Then...

We had to put our suitcase in the middle of the boys because Tyler kept reaching over and grabbing at Jason and yelling at him to wake up.

Jason slept a lot.

It's now fourth of July. All the men wore matching old navy shirts, the young boys had matching shorts and shirts on, the young girls had matching skerts and shirts on, and all the women just wore blue shirts.

Cute Jenni!!

Ben and Tyler playing with dinosaurs in the dirt.

Little Miss sassy pants!!

Tyler and Abby....she is such a poser. It's kind of funny.

What a fun Grandma and Grandpa.

Jason just hanging out.

Tyler loved riding with Uncle Brian.

We are so getting one of these for Tyler.

I like this action shot.

Sisters.

Aren't we so cute???!!

Cute picture of Jason and Ben. They loved riding too.

Everyone has a gut, except for Dad. Funny!

So Handsome.

Matchy...Matchy.

Cute girls.

They were best buds on this trip.

Awww...how cute??

And the cutest couple...

Ever!!!

Brian and Krista's engagement photo...at least that's what I called it.

I liked this picture too.

Jason slept through the whole parade.

The onion float....they tossed onions at everyone. We caught like 10 on them. And they were huge. HA...it was such a fun parade.

Nothing beats running through the sprinklers at 7:00 pm.

Cute Benji.

He was so funny..

He was pretty adamant about putting his swimming suit on, but, he would not go near the water. He just wanted to watch. And, when some dripped near him, he ran as far away from it as possible. He was so cute.

Jason playing with his ball from the parade.

Here's Ben running away from the water.

Like I said, he is such a cutie pie.

Jason just hanging out on the porch.

We really had a great time in Ontario with the family. It is quite the drive with 2 little boys, but it was worth it. We had so much fun. I loved seeing the family and Tyler had fun with his cousins. The onion parade was pretty hilarious too. We will definatly have to go again.

Magazine disaster....

I get a ton of magazines because of the online surveys I take..well, they were sitting in a box in the living room waiting to be taken to the recycling bins, when, the boys thought they were the greatest toy in the world. It was a huge mess.

Tyler buried himself in magazines.

Jason liked climbing on top of them.

Jason also loved ripping pages out.

What a huge mess.

They are having fun though.
