Aaron's 100 mile bike for MS

This weekend Aaron completed one of his goals:  Bike 100 miles for Multiple Sclerosis.  We are so proud of him!  It was held in Logan, UT on Saturday June 23. 

We drove up the night before and were able to stay in the USU housing dorms... twin beds for everyone!  The kids thought that was great!  We all got up bright and early Saturday morning and headed down to the starting point of the race.

Aaron was riding with our good friend, Lincoln Judd and the Hilti team.  Here they are ready to go.


And.... They're off!


While Aaron and Lincoln were riding we were volunteering.  The kids opened all the medals.....




Handed out the medals to the riders as they crossed the finish line......


Sprayed the riders down with water at the finish line....

 



And ate lots and lots of these:


We were so excited when we saw Aaron come around the corner and cross the finish line.  Abbi was more than happy to award her dad with the medal and Alex and Adam made sure to spray him down really good with the water misters.  



Way to go!  We are so proud of our men!  100 miles!


Aaron is now ready to take on a triathlon and maybe a half ironman.

Happy Birthday to our princess!

 Happy 10th Birthday Abigail!

Abbi was quite spoiled for her birthday this year, but turning 10 is a huge deal!  I mean, you are now in the double digits!  

She received A LOT of presents:

Cooking utensils for her cupcake maker,
clothes,
jewelry,
a date night with Dad at Chick-fil-A,
accessories for her doll,
a spa pedicure,
oh, and more clothes.




What more could a ten-year old ask for?  Besides an Ipod touch.  (We said "no" to that).

Abbi,

We love you so much!  You are the sweetest girl and we are so blessed to have you in our family.  You have such a tender heart and truly care about those around you.  You are a sweet daughter to us and to your Heavenly Father.  Never forget your eternal worth!  You are a daughter of our Heavenly Father, who loves you!

Love,
Mom and Dad
