Robo Mower

We're back in business for the season.

...and we're back in Idaho.

General Conference

Road Trip to Utah

Got Moab?

blah...

Skip needs to find a new hobby other than staining our carpet. It's starting to look pretty bad.

Over the Edge Sports in Fruita, CO

We found the ultimate toilet handle in the bike shop in Fruita last week.

Hammer Nutrition

We got a bunch of free hammer stuff at our bike club meeting the other night and this was all I could think to do with all the extra stickers. Skip wasn't really a fan though.

Training for Robie

Ammon went out on his first run with Jamie and had some fun.

Whoah

The lights are all off the house and it's not even Easter yet.

Hard at work.

Ammon decided to come into work today and help push some papers around.

I need a bigger garage.

Out on a ride tonight and had to stop and snap a pic of this guy's 9+ car garage. Nice!

It's a dog, right?

I think it's a little tough to tell what that hair ball even is.

Bundled up

Here's Ammon taking in some nordic racing this weekend. It was really sunny :)

Buddy

This dog wondered into our yard the other night and he had to spend the night while we waited for somebody to come pick him up. What a cool dog he was though... super friendly and HUGE. We almost wanted to keep him, except for the stink and shedding. :)

Nordic Masters World Cup

Took in some racing at the world cup in McCall this weekend. Fun trip.

Abby's Move

Helped Abby move the other night and managed to fit it all in one load. It's a little hard to see in the photo, but the truck is pretty full and totally rigged hillbilly style. There was about 10 miles of interstate highway involved with no problems. :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

What a great wife I have. Mmmm... cookies.

Kissin' Cousins

Abby loves baby Ammon

Canadian Twizzlers Licorice

Ammon's a fan of the good stuff from up north as well. The question is how do we get this stuff delivered to Idaho?

Buckin'

For Elvar

The Big Canadian Bucks

$823... (according to Derek)

Guess Who?

BJA

Goodbye for now Grandpa. We miss you.

Flying Babies

The little guy's first flight.

Scott Addict R4

All built up and ready for the snow to melt!

(I've since swapped out the Force shifters with a Sram Red group and a white saddle. Sooo choice...)

Bundled Up

Here's Ammon helping me clean out the garage on Sat.

The bike riding dog

Ya... This dog can ride a bike. He pulled into Meridian Cycles while we were talking bikes with the owner. The dog just sat in this position while the owner shopped. Skip has some learnin to do.

Mr. Chubby

Putting on some weight and lookin good!

Hugalugs

Ammon's ready for some jazzercise.

My new Scott Addict...

Just waiting on parts to build it up now. Also, white is the fastest of all bike colors from what I've heard.

Happy Thirty Fun!

I almost missed the shot she was so quick to blow them out...

Ahi Sushi

Jamie's birthday dinner. It was very good.

Snow Galore

The snow is really piling up in McCall!

Happy 50th Uncle Kenny!

Yum...

Ya I didn't notice my glass had lipstick on the rim until we were done with dinner. Pretty gross.

Bath Time

Ammon and Me

So Sad

This is the first night the house will be dark again.

The dismantling begins

Santa's little helper.

Snow Dog

aka Brutus

Snow Man

Fast and Furious

We hammered up Hard Guy until the snow stopped us today. While the snow doesn't look very deep in the photo... it was HARD to ride. Pretty much like I'd imagine riding with velcro wheels on a velcro mat that is placed over the top of ball barrings. We finally turned around and just FLEW down the hill. Then continued over to Corrals and down Crestline and Red Cliffs to do the same thing. The trails were frozen solid and traction couldn't have been better. The adrenaline was flowin' and we were plain ol cruisin'. What a great ride!

The Winner

Hulls Gulch in the snow.

We hit the trails yesterday and it was a perfect day of winter riding. Nice and fast frozen ground with spots of decent snow coverage, but still warm enough that we didn't freeze.

I've seen a sign!

This guy is my hero. We were driving down Ustick when his display and sign made us stop and drool. The sign was at least 12' wide with full moving graphics. His truck out front had a sign company logo on it. Awesome.

Ammon the Ewok

Opening Night

We finally fired up the light show last night and it was an instant hit. So much so, that cars started flooding into the street almost immediately after turning it on. At one point we heard lots of shouting and applause and opened the front door to look outside and find an entire bus full of people out there enjoying the show. NICE!
