Mountain Meadow Memorial

Back in March we got to have Wes (Beau's Brother), Nikki, and their cut kiddies, here for a visit. We got to do so many fun things with them too.  

One of our adventures was heading out to the Meadow Massacre Memorial.

The drive is so beautiful. And the site itself is always humbling. 

It is sad what happened. But good to remember that we are all humans capable of weakness and sin.

Here are some pictures in random order from our trip......

 I have missed being in Idaho to make fun of all the 1J drivers, but Jeanne and Danny provided that again for us! HAHAHAHA...j/k

More Biking

When we went biking, in the below post, I sat for hours and photographed Beau and Kurt jumping. I LOVE action shots. It doesn't bore me in the least! Which I am sure for Beau is an added bonus that I get to capture him doing what he loves! 

Some of Beau 

 Some of Kurt

 We went again and I got so many more good ones!
But that is another post for another day.

Bikin' with the Fam

Nearly a month ago (man..I can't believe it has already been that long) we headed out to Warner Valley as a family to meet up with the Lefevre's for a day in the desert.
We packed up the boys bikes, shovels, buckets, and snacks.

Poor Caleb only got about 30 minutes of riding in before he popped his tire.
And man was he bummed, until he figured out that he could build the "big boys" jump for dad.
And after that he manged to have a ball.

Here are some random photos from the day.

 Here are a few of Kurt, Farah, and Torsten too....

(Beau get me a bike...I wanna ride...this is a subliminal message---hahahaha)

 Caleb hard at work while the Dad takes a rest from biking.
Man- he really loved building the jump!

Who says the desert isn't beautiful?
It really is!
