A New Business Adventure

Well, my husband Steve just started up a new business. It's a mobile bicycle repair business. He comes and picks up your bikes from your house, brings them back to his workshop, tunes them up or repairs them, and takes them back to you all shiny and awesome. Who wants to pick up and put dirty bikes in their car? Not me.
It's called The Peddler's Friend. He's even on Facebook. He got his business license last week. Now all he needs is a customer and a logo.

And I have to mention Steve ran his first full marathon on Saturday in Park City. He did awesome. I'm so proud of him. (Still think he's a little crazy, but proud.)

What movie?

Ghost Ranch

I spent all of last week at a place called Ghost Ranch. It's up near Abiqueu, NM. I took a week long Calligraphy class and I learned so much. Carla and I went up together in her motorhome and camped out. It's a beautiful place.

This is me at the end of Box Canyon, resting before the trek back.

Memorial Day Weekend

So I lost my camera. I can't find it. I looked everywhere. I so wanted to take pictures this weekend so I could post some because blogs are so much more exciting with pics. Steve's camera is not working either. So, once again, you get to hear about our adventures without any visual enjoyment. Sorry.

We went camping in Cedar Springs. So pretty. Even though it rained a lot, we still had fun. It was a nice relaxing weekend with no worries. Monday morning was beautiful so we all (Steve, me and the kids along with Chad and his whole crew) headed off on the 4-wheelers and motorcycles to this huge sand wash were we could mess around in. It was pretty fun. After we got back to camp it was time to pack up and head home.
I'm so thankful I have a awesome husband who takes us camping and teaches Katie how to ride a motorcycle. (Oh, they fell off, and Katie hurt her little pinky finger. We went to the doc. today and it's not broken.) He helps whenever he can without being asked and he always makes everything more enjoyable. I know I am a lucky girl to have such a great guy.

Sunday Post

We had a good weekend. Here's the breakdown of what we did.
- Friday night went four-wheeling. I rolled the 4-wheeler on me. That's right, I got a little too comfortable with my 4-wheeling abilities or lack thereof. Only a couple of scraps and bruises.
- Saturday Steve ran a 10K and did awesome. We then went to Albuquerque to the Temple with Adam and Lisa and their kids. We took turns watching the kids while each couple went in.
- After the Temple, had a meal at ihop - worst service I've had in awhile, but the food was still good.
- Sunday went to church (duh) and headed off to John and Carla's for a nice family meal with Steve's Uncle Farrel and Aunt Susie. Their 2 kids came up from Albuquerque also. Came home and headed over to my parents for a late happy birthday for my dad.
- Kids are now in bed and I'm trying to plan my fabulous week ahead.

The Farm

At what point does a couple of acres of dirt become a farm? How about a garden, 10 chickens, a duck, 4 apple trees, 2 peach trees, and 3 cherry trees? Do I live on a farm yet? I think I just might.
We need some goats. I'm not sure what they are good for, but most farms have goats, right?

MOAB

Stopping for lunch.

Steve having fun driving our jeep out on the trail. And yes, he messed up my plastic bumper. I'll post the battle scars later.
