Catch Up!!!

It has been so long since I've updated - sorry to all the fans but the computer just represents work right now and I hate being on it any longer than the 9 hours a day I already have to do. However we had such fun this weekend that I couldn't resist blogging!
The first couple of photos are from the last few weeks - this one is when we went hiking to find some mines out in the desert.

We found this skull and I named him smiles - he looks like the happiest dead thing I've ever seen.

We were finally able to pull out the trailer last weekend ready for Dang's race and decided to test the new grill and have a "delightfully white trash" moment on the drive (brownie points for anyone that knows where that quote comes from).
This Friday we went camping with Dusty's family and although it was freezing, it was so much fun. Kim and Mark got a new fifth wheel and as quoted by James "it's like camping next to a house" :)

I love these photos of the kids - they look so peaceful.

Yes it was that cold that I had a hoodie and a snow boarding jacket on in the tent trailer! In the morning everything had frozen solid!!
We got up at about 7am and took all the 4 wheelers up on top of the ridge to watch Dang start her race.

Yep - still freezing!


The kids had a great time playing in the dirt - by the end of the day they were completely camouflage with the ground.

Dang is one of those black dots down there - she was in third place when we last spotted her.

The kids at the pit stop.

Tim tried to sell gas to everyone that rode past - it was pretty funny.

There's Austin in the Pee Wee race - he did so well!

It's the blue steel racing team - we all had matching hoodies and shirts - it was great! After the pee wee race, we watched the pros and they were amazing - it was a really fun trip. Thanks Mark and Kim for inviting us :)

That's great. I wanted to go but I had to work last minute. Lame.

So what are Tim's gas prices?

Sarah said...

Ha ha, I'm sure he would sell it for any amount of money :)

Amy said...

How fun! I am glad you guys are alive and doing well :) I love that Tim was trying to sell the gas, it must be the age! :)

Thanks for not mentioning that we ditched last minute :) Next time, I swear. Now I'm sick with whatever Kyle had that made it so we couldn't go. Lame. I really can't wait to go with you guys, and camping looks way more fun that trying to drive out there at the crack of dawn anyway.
