motorcycle trip 2011

Here’s a picture from left to right of Jonathan, David, Dad (Timothy), Rob, and John.  We all met in sudden valley at mom’s beforehand.  We rode to Winthrop, stayed the night in chelan, then rode back on monday the next day visiting leavenworth, and riding through steven’s pass.  It was a blast.  This was the 2nd year that we’ve done this, an awesome tradition in the making.  Unfortunately Lance and Chuck couldn’t make it, along with some friends of ours that wanted to go.  Going on trips like these makes owning a motorcycle about a billion times more fun and enjoyable.  We all had fun, can’t wait til next year.

And We’re off

We stopped at Winthrop for some good mexican food, and rest.

What fun is a trip without a few casualties.

Here’s David giving me the peace sign, and dad farther back.

Now, here’s big D racing by me.

Here’s a bad picture of my dad on his beast of bike riding by me.

Like father like son.  These next pictures were taken at stevens pass, very beautiful.

Last year there we only had 4 of us, this year we had 5.  Hopefully we can get more people to come the following year.

Rob was going to pick some flowers for his wife, but after smelling them decided not to.

Here’s all of us at mom and Dad’s right before we all take off on our trip.

Randomness……

 

I went on vacation for a week and Jonathan attempted to grow a mustache while I was gone.

A deer thinks my garden is his personal litter box.

Next up…..Ryan’s blessing pics.

He’s here, and we love him.

Here’s some pictures after we just got home from the hospital.  My wife and I are feeling both wonderful and exhausted.  I know my wife hasn’t slept very much the last week, so I’m sure she must be going crazy inside- but she is being such an angel with everything.  I only wish I could stay home  and help out more. Watching 2 boys, especially when one isn’t sleeping at night, and having a husband gone at school and work is going to be really hard on my amazing wife.  My wife is the best, and this experience of having another boy has been incredible.  I’ll try to post more pictures soon when I have time, but I think I’ll let my wife give more of the details -if she wants to- since she’s obviously the one who did the work having the baby.  Oh, and thanks so much for everyone who’s helped us so far with watching Jackson, visiting us at the hospital and home, dropping off food, calling us on the phone, and just being there for us and letting us know you care.  We are very blessed with such a great family, friends, and of course a loving Heavenly Father who’s been watching over us and blessing us greatly.
