My Inspiration

I was thinking that I hadn't added anything to my page in a few days and I just took this picture of my wife and thought why not let those 2 1/2 people who read this blog see how beautiful my wife is. She truly is my inspiration.

Biking to Antelope

This year I have started to ride my bike a lot more. Partly because of gas prices and the other being clinically obese and having a hot wife makes me want to get in better shape. Yesterday was my longest ride so far. I went to Antelope Island (In the Great Salt Lake) and rode around there a bit and then came back. I'm new at this. Total ride was just over 30 miles. Did I mention there are a lot of gnats on the road out to the island. I felt like the front of a car when I got back. I saw one person who had the right idea wearing a mask. I wish I had had one when I ate that huge bug. Well like I said I am new at this. I only averaged around 16 mph but I did get up to 37 on the island. I am riding my old Marin mountain bike that I have converted to more of a commuter bike. I hope to get a new bike in the next year or so. My total miles for the year is 307 miles. That consists of my weekend rides and I have been riding to work and back. It is only a 14 mile round trip but on some days I try and stretch out my ride home. You know people always tell me I am going to die on my motorcycle but I have to tell you I am ten times more afraid on my bike. Luckily there are some good back roads and a few trails that keep me away from the more heavy traffic. These are a few pictures I took with my phone. Well hope to see ya on the roads.

The kids and I have been doing a lot of traveling. Yesterday after the library we took a little trip to Egypt before heading to Autumn's softball and Parker's baseball game. You know, private jet and all.

Mount Rushmore

Last weekend we went on another vacation. Here is Simon. He sure likes to climb. He is training to be a ninja warrior. That by the way is his favorite tv show at the moment.

Vacation to the Great Wall

I have to say so far the hardest part of blogging is choosing a name. Here is a photo of us on our last family vacation. Simon was flying a kite and Julie of course was behind the camera.
