Catch up thru some pics!

I finally got my camera, the card reader for the computer and some time all available in the same night! Here are a few pics of the last 6 weeks or so that I have been neglecting on the blog!


This is the last day of school. Can you believe it? I feel like I just blogged about the first day of school. Except that Lainey didn't have a cast, I wasn't pregnant (actually about to do a triathlon) and Lainey didn't know how much she would come to LOVE Mrs. Barnes! We had a great year!



The week after school got out, the storm hit our neighborhood and the trees hit our house! Here are a couple of better shots with a real camera--not an iPhone. What you are looking at is our backyard. There wasn't a square inch without fallen tree branches on it!
Here is the tree and the actual damage done to the roof. We found water damage inside about a week later. It's not all fixed just yet!


We came home a few days ago and Rhody asked as we pulled into the garage, "Where are our trees in the backyard?" Where the heck has he been? It was kind of funny actually.


We celebrated Lainey's 6 year old birthday--a week or so late because of the cast. Lainey has been planning her swim party for about 10 months! Gobby made another awesome cake and Lainey and friends had a great time!





The boys (Sam on left) all got buzz cuts at the beginning of the summer! Uncle Blair did all of them in one day! I wasn't sure about cutting Bo's hair off but I actually like it a lot. They all look great and it's nice for this HOT summer!






All the kids were dying to take my camera and take a few shots. Here is Rhody's picture! 


Here is Bo's shot. Lainey was trying to help him out!



A cute pic of Ridge and Bo from church on Sunday. These two are adorable, stubborn and should keep us on our toes for years to come! Precious!



All three--pre buzz cuts!

Have a great day!

Powder Mountain Hillclimb p/b Diamond Peak Mountain Sports

Eden, UT - The first ever Powder Mountain Hillclimb, presented by Diamond Peak Mountain Sports, was held this past weekend in the Ogden Valley. The road bicycle race, organized by Team Excelerator, attracted weekend warriors and elite riders alike. 50 cyclists lined up on SR 158 to tackle one of the toughest bicycle climbs in the west. Chris Hong, a rider for the elite Bob’s Bicycles team, said that this was one of the toughest races he’s ever done. Chris was using this race to tune up for the Tour of Utah which runs in August. He finished first in the Men’s Pro/Cat 1/2 division and third overall.

The battle for the fastest time to the top, an almost 6 mile, 3300 ft slog up to Powder Mountain Resort from Wolf Creek Utah, was fast and furious for the best climbers. 15 year old Keegan Swenson of Cole Sport, Nathan Cisney from Rooster’s Brewing Co. and Hong were absolutely railing it up the road. Hong attacked Swenson and was able to gap a bit, but Swenson’s steady tempo proved too much and Hong was eventually overtaken. It was then Swenson and Cisney who battled it out for top honors. In the last grueling mile Cisney wasa bale to pull ahead and finish in a standard setting time of 41 min 20 sec taking the overall and 1st in the Men’s Cat 5 division. Swenson was only 30 seconds back good enough for second overall and 1st in the Men’s Cat 4 class. Hong crossed the finish line 2 min 9 sec back.

Everyone who finished this race can consider themselves winners, says event

promoter, Ben Towery of Team Excelerator (shown here rockin' out). He was very pleased with the turnout and the quality of the riders who competed. The weather was absolutely perfect and the difficulty of the ride was countered by the beauty of the Ogden Valley.


Team Excelerator p/b Pinnacle Auto Company was well represented with 9 riders. Jerald Olsen, Kevan Steed, Greg Stuart, Kirk Johnson, Cub Newton, Mike Christoperson, Todd Anderson, Blake Mason and old friend Jim Gilland. All put in an outstanding effort and we thank them for representing the team well!
