Been a while

Thought I would post some new things in our family.

First, Parker received his Life Scout Award last night, on his way to Eagle. He is almost there! He will be taking drivers ed this summer, and he can't wait. He wants to be driving right now. He has lots of friends that are driving and he can't wait.

This is what Presley does when her brothers and sisters are at school. She watched Toy Story or Monsters Inc. with her friends......Do I need to be worried?


This is our new hobby or something like that. We are now bee keepers....Yes you read that right. We are kind of excited to see how this will help our garden (when I get that put in) and the rest of the flowers out here on our property. John and Tina you guys might think about having a beehive also. We miss all you guys and would love to see some pictures and updates with all your families.

The Praying Mantis

Mom enjoys riding her new-to-her bike. It is a BMW R1150R Rockster model. She rides to school and back home again most days. She is a hero to her students on campus because she is a motorhead!! You go, girl!!

San Francisco Trip - 2007

During our trip last summer to San Francisco and eventually to San Diego, we took a day ride around the Castro Valley area to a scenic area known as Mount Diablo State Park. I distracted Barbara as we were maneuvering the switch back roads on our way down from the peak. Barbara endured a slow speed accident resulting in a few broken ribs, a broken clavical, and a punctured lung. She spent 10 glorious days in the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. She has survived to ride again. She got back in the saddle and has ridden to school already this year.
