I did something terrible?

Well I did something today that I NEVER thought I would do. I bought some of those stupid family sicker things for your car. I know it only makes a van even "cooler" but hear me out and if you know our family at all then you will kinda understand. They are on bikes. That's right, I mean I never thought those things could look cool but now when you see our van, well, everyone will want a van and will want to be a super cool biking family like us.

New Pics!

Our Big Family Summer Trip

We finally went on a family trip, thanks to Grandpa Hamblin who was the driver and provided his very nice motor home. We started out at a little camp ground just before Strawberry reservoir. It was perfect. Then we headed over to Vernal to see dinosaurs.


T-Rex's tail.



A little skinny dipping in Steinaker reservoir.

Then on our way to Steamboat Springs Colorado. It was so pretty there but the beetles had gotten to soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many of the pine tree's. It was so sad.

We were spoiled. Grandpa's motor home is sooooo nice.

Jonas watched me role my pants before I bike so that they don't get caught in the chain, so I guess he thought he needed to role his shorts. He also watches dad cover up before some of his cold winter rides, so he covered up when it was raining. Scary how observant kids can be.


This is the first I have seen a fox in it's natural habitat.

We camped and swam at Steamboat springs lake. You can see a lot of the poor dead tree's

They had the funnest bike trail that went along the lake.

And on our way back from the bike ride, it pored. I love the rain.

This was the first I've seen a beaver in it's natural habitat. We were walking along the boat dock and I looked down and there he was, biting on a branch. It was cute.


And now we are one our way to Leadville Colorado. This is the way to travel.

Lance Armstrong, Leadville 100 mountain bike race







Lance Armstrong. That's right, we actually saw him in person. It was a lot of fun. If you look carefully at the pictures, you'll notice his rear tire is completely flat. He rode on it for the last eight miles of the Leadville 100. He placed 1st and smashed the record. It was kind of weird seeing him on a mountain bike instead of a road bike. I ran over after he finished and he walked right buy me. I found it funny that his bike had it's very own suburban and body guards.

Turquoise Lake Leadville Colorado, the most beautiful place I have ever been too!

The kids loved throwing rocks in the lake.Grandpa's camera broke right when we get to the most picturesque place.





Todd thinks this picture looks like one of those inspirational posters.


















Like Father, Like Son. He is DEFINITELY taking after his dad. Jonas would try and go find mountain bike trails on his own. The road just wouldn't cut it.


I know this picture is blurry but I wanted everyone to see how fun these bike trials are.
