Yay for the bike

We basically look like pros.

No Pictures Yet

I have some sad news... our Internet is down. Yes, I know, it is depressing. Until it is up and working again I will not be able to post pictures of my new bike and my stretchy shorts. I am sure everyone so desperately wants to see me in my riding gear. I don't blame you. Hopefully I will be able to post them soon.
I want to Congratulate Ashley on her new bike. We are excited to see it... thrilled actually.
Well we did have a good weekend. We went on a bike ride. I lasted for 26 miles. It was super windy and cold. We also had a sing-a-long to Tenacious D songs on our way to West Yellowstone. It was a real treat.

***THRILLING NEWS***

The Ryster got a road bike today. She also got a jersey and some nice stretchy pants (actually shorts) to ride in. Well I know one thing for sure... you can expect pictures of it up here SOON. Thank you and goodbye.

Life

Here are some random pics:

After working 11 hours on Saturday Ben came home and his skin was a different color because of how much dirt was on him.

Friday evening we had a picnic with the Dashley... there was some trouble keeping the fire going.
We made shirley temples and it was divine.
Ben is getting the meat ready to cook... he got a little hungry.
Here is us in all of our cuteness yesterday.

Pictures

Wow... what cute boys in matching biking jerseys! THis is after the race.

Here is the Benster, looking good, like always.
Here Ben and Dallin are somewhere in the middle... they still have quite a ways to ride.
Family pictures!
The Boys
The girls

The fam... and the tractors

Oh yes, this last weekend the little one was blessed. Isn't she a doll? I think that dress is eating her.

My Biker

My dear Biker Benji has accomplished a great accomplishment. He has dared to go where no man has gone before... and was victorious! On Saturday, May 12, 2007, he competed against 150 others in a race of courage, strength and above all biking. Sadly, our camera has been lost and we do not yet have pictures of this joyous event. He covered 64 miles in about 3 hours with only his bike and his buddy Dallin. They rode like fierce tigers in the lands around Yellowstone. The women of the family were there to cheer the bikers on as we drove past them in the car. They didn't look tired at all so we didn't feel bad yelling "Faster!" at them. The Ben and the Dallin were in the lead for almost the whole race... they had to pass a few people at the beginning. Trevor, Dad, and Nate also finished in the race! They were all racing maniacs that day. We hope to soon get pictures of the event to share with all. ON the count of three lets give a hurrah for Benji and the boys... One, two, three HURRAH, HURRAH, HURRAH!

This is Quake Lake... they rode past it in the race.

Scandalous!

Sometimes I wonder if Ben is embarrassed by the pictures I put up here of myself. I know this is a little bit scandalous but it's all good! Obviously the one on the left is me and the one on the right is Christine. She was one of my bridesmaids... the one with a sunburn. Anyways, this picture just make me laugh and I had to put it up!

Hi Christine!

So I was looking at this picture, and it really made me laugh! I'll start with Trevor. He doesn't have anyone to lean on his shoulders but it looks like he has an invisible person on his shoulders. I'm not sure what he is doing. The left side is really struggling as well. The facials on Nate and Wes seem very unpleasant. I'm sure there are other awkward things we could point out but I will stop there.

So we had a fabulous weekend last and this week! Sadly, no pictures were taken except for this one... we went on a stroll through the park. The first weekend was Hayley's wedding and we got to hang out with Ben's family. We saw our adorably lovable nephew, Beckett, for the first time. it was quite the experience. We rode some wicked sweet go carts. Some people got a little bit crazy on those things. Ben and I hope to have a go cart track of our own someday. That would be neat.
This last weekend we hung out at the cabin with my fam. We got to see our preciously tiny niece, Devynn, for the first time, and our other insanely crazy niece, Ari. Ben was playing with her and every time he would start talking to other people she would get his attention by saying, "Hi Ben" it was funny. Ben loved holding Devynn, who is 2 months old and only 8 pounds. She has almost doubled the size she was when she was born.
We also had Rachell stay with us all week, it was a blast. I just hope she had fun.

Benji's Bicycle update: The big race is on Saturday!!!!! WOO HOO!
