Colorado State Championship BMX Race

A few weeks ago we went to Grand Junction Co for a State Championship race.

Shawn got 2nd in state in the 30-35 age cruiser group! Good job!

Tyler got 10th in state for 12 year olds and also turned intermediate while we were there!! Good job Tyler!!

Visit from Grandpa & Grandma!!





We went to Silverton for the day and watched the train come in and took these beautiful pictures. We went in the shops and ate lunch and went to the museum. We had a wonderful time. It was so nice for Grandpa to see where we live.

Ally on the Winnie the Pooh Ride at Disneyland. Everybody else was on Splash Mountain so we rode this and there was no line. She loved it and we rode it about 4 times.

Then Ryley rode it a couple of times after he rode Splash Mountain!

When we got back from California we visited Grammy and Poppy and the kids had to ride the tractor!

Tyler riding the old tractor doing donuts! He was having a ball!

THE LAKE CITY COLORADO TRIP

Almost to the top of Cinnomon Pass on our way to Lake City. This is an old mine town that you can walk thru. We didn't go thru it because we were trying to get over the pass before a storm started. We went in our Polaris Ranger and it doesn't have an enclosure!


This is the top of Cinnamon Pass. It was cold up there but beyond beautiful. Pictures don't do justice!
Fishing the next morning at Lake San Cristobol. This is where the campground was.

May '09 I was able to take a vacation by myself and go to my sister Krystle's college graduation! So proud of her. I had a good time.
Crazy boys jumping off the dock at the pond at our house! Ally did it too but could'nt find the picture!

Shawn's family came in June and we all had a wonderful time! We camped up north. We had wonderful food, the cousins played together, we went and watched the movie UP, the kids went rafting, and we went to the Bar D Chuckwagon! Oh and the girls rode the train to Silverton! We did so much in that week and had so much fun. So nice for the cousins to see eachother! The last picture here of Ally you notice her boo boo on her foot, well Ryley pushed a shovel under her heal and sliced it so she could'nt swim for 3 days she was very upset!


In June for my birthday my family came! It was my mom, dad, Brandi and James (which james had never been here so that was nice he could come), Krystle, and Grandma. We had a lot of fun. We went for a hike, a walk along the river, had a birthday party and some went rafting! Did a lot of stuff in that short weekend!

For Fourth of July our friends were in Ouray so we were able to go over and see them and we went to Box Canyon Falls (2nd, 3rd, and 4th picuture above) and Cascade Falls (First picture) it was so beautiful there. We had been wanting to go to them and finally got there. The last picture they came over to Silverton where we were camping and watched the forth of july parade and saw the train come in. We had a wonderful time so good to see them.
