I'll probably have to pay some serious consequences for putting this picture on here but we LOVE you Pam!!
Al's Tent Sales rule!!! We got Pam fixed up with her very own cruiser, had dinner at VI, then went for a bike ride!! Fun FUN night! So happy you joined our cruiser gang Pam!!! Cute bike!
well FINALLY!!!! it's done!!!!! i can't believe how different it looks!! check it out...
we painted the frame & got new handle bars
new seats & grips
this is obviously where her name came from!
& we got new tires but we did reuse this sweet emblem!!
so now everyone needs to come visit us & take it for a spin!!! it's so fun!!
sometimes i think my life is SO boring but then i realize how i'm ALWAYS tired & it's probably because my life is filled with stuff. not necessarily fun stuff or anything special but i'm always doing SOMETHING. i wish i could just sit on the couch and watch a movie but that doesn't really ever happen so... anyway i just wanted to throw that out there... for those of you who may think our life is exciting, it's really not so much, i just blog about EVERYTHING we do, so it seems like it. in fact that proves how boring my job is too. i just sit in front of a computer all day, so what else am i to do but blog??
SO... as you know friday we got the bike back from being soda blasted. i took pictures but they're on tim's camera & he said he'd email them to me but he probably never will so.. saturday davie boy painted it for us!!!!
frame
fork
chain guard
this is all the crank stuff... looks too hard for me! jon had to get online to find out how to put it all back together because he couldn't remember how it all came apart!!
these are the seats & handlebars... we didn't quite get to putting them on because the tires were too big & wouldn't fit so jon stopped after he got the cranks and the front end put together. we got new, smaller tires yesterday, so we'll cross our fingers they work!!!
then we went to my mumma & daddy's for dinner. as you can see my dad is stoked that i caught this epic moment on camera. he HATES wearing matching clothes. if he & my mom are wearing even CLOSE to the same color shirt, he'll go change. so i thought it was hilarious that they decided to match this day... i mean they ARE cool shirts...
cute little chefs they are!! yummy yummy dinner - thanks twinners!!
carson, jon, jace, & hiding pam
cute preggers lisa & jon
jace & grandma!
carson checkin out jon's police car. he turned the siren on for a second & carson was outta there!!
maya loves her cousins!!DMB concert is postponed until further notice......
maybe they'll give us free tickets to the 3 day concert at the Gorge for being a pain in my @$$.
Doubt it... guess we'll just wait patiently & find out what the verdict is....
I mean I feel bad because (duh) one of their band members just died but I think that LeRoi would have wanted them to keep on rockin!!!!
wish us luck....
So the dude that was supposed to be soda blasting our tandem bike FINALLY got it done!!!! wow. a month later... anyway it's getting painted tomorrow so get excited cuz we DEFINITELY are!!!!!!!
Our nieces are here for a few days & last night we had a marathon date with the fam!!
Activity #1: Dinner at Wingers...
Reagan & Me
Jon & Pam
Lacey, Jack & Reagan
Grandpa & Reagan
I'm surprised everyone lasted that long!!
Reagan is such a little BABE!!
Jon showin' off his cruisin' skills
EVERYONE.. except me. What would everyone do if I wasn't behind the camera?? No pictures. It's just a little service I like to provide for the world...
Riding on the handle bars... Until we got to the corner & Jon couldn't turn with my fat butt on there...
Lacey & Maya got tired of walking so they took a turn in the wagon!! I was holding a stick so Maya would at least FACE the camera & Reagan was looking at the stick TOO!! HAHA What an obedient little girl!!!
There was like 20 of them!! Well the ducks at least. And just ONE goose.
Nice face...
Pam talked me into getting in FRONT of the camera.
We are deeply saddened that LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. LeRoi had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program.
HE WAS ONE AMAZING & TALENTED DUDE... sad, sad, sad. In the most UNSELFISH way, I'm wondering if this will affect our concert????!! sure hope not... LOVE YOU MAN!!
That was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. It was INSANE. There was like at least a million people there. and about 3/4 of them were smoking weed. my throat hurt by the end of the night from (unintentionally) inhaling it. but it was a BLAAAAAAAST!!!!! My camera is a hand-me-down so none of the pictures I took of the stage really turned out... so I took a bunch of pictures of me & jon so you could see how much fun we were having!!
Neil Halstead (? somethin like that...) and Rogue Wave opened for Jack. BOTH were AWESOME!!!
Good ol' Jack just jammin' away...
LOVE LOVE LOVED it!!!! I can't even explain how tired I am though... He played like 3,000 songs - which were all amazing- so it was 11 by the time it got over. then it took us an hour just to get out of the parking lot & then 2 more hours to get home from there... so 2 am we rolled in and went straight to bed... i had to get up for work and jon is still in bed at 12:05 pm. thanks honey! now the countdown's on for DAVE!!!!!!!! sooooooooo STOKED
Jon's been working graves so we have our evenings together & we've just been cruisin'...
Friday night we rode our bikes to Costa Vida for dinner. I don't know why I eat mexican food. It always makes me sick... but it was fun anyway! Jon asked me if he looked goofy riding the stretch cruiser and I told him he looks hott... here's proof:
Saturday we decided to get out the ol' mountain bikes. Jon's is nice.
Mine is the same one I've had since I was 9... that's right.. too small, rusty chain, covered in dust, bulging tires, the whole deal. I thought we could make it work, so Jon pumped up the tires.
We loaded the bikes in the back of the truck & headed up to Stokes Nature Trail. About 2 1/2 feet past the metal gate at the beginning of the trail... PPSSSSSHHHHHHHHH. There went the air from my front tire. I guess it's time to retire my little Mongoose. :(
So we decided to get back on the trusty cruisers and go to Hollywood Video & get a snowcone. Same snowcone shack where Shannon broke her face. Poor girl...
We brought Maya along too. How, you might ask? Maya LOVES to run full speed next to Jon while he rides the bike. It's hilarious. It's also great exercise - easier on us too. She does the running we just ride. That way we don't have to WALK her. Everybody wins. Oh yeah, and she loves snowcones.
and chewing on plastic spoons. Hope everyone had a WONDERFUL weekend!!!!
