A bicycle built for TWO!

I always look forward to the first weekend in June because it means that it is time for the Little Red Bike Ride in Cache Valley. This year was no exception, in fact I might have been a little more excited than normal because Laurie and I were riding together on the "green machine". With matching green jerseys and a super cool green bike we were quite the novelty. We have been planning this tandem bike ride for several years now and I'm so excited that we finally got to do it!
We rode 58 miles this year and I'm so proud of Laurie! She was a great rider and it was lots of fun to talk and enjoy each other's company while we took in the beautiful scenery of Cache Valley. She was already talking about doing the 100 miler next year before we had even finished this one....I think she has caught the biking fever!

Even after the long ride we were all smiles!

This was also the first year that my friend Jodi participated in Little Red. Because I was on the tandem she borrowed my bike and rode with her friend Michelle. They did a different mileage, but we got to see them at the first rest stop. They both did great and it was fun to share the road with friends. I'm really proud of you Jod!

After the ride was over we got to spend some time at the Lewiston Park. We ended up making a new friend!

Next year girls....100 miles! Get your butts ready!

The Joys of June

The first week of June was an exciting one for us. It was also the last week of school for the kids..YEAH! and it was Evan's 12th birthday. How many kids get to celebrate their birthday on the last day of school, play in a kickball game against the teachers while wearing a really cool tie- dyed t-shirt and celebrate by having dinner with the greatest family on earth? Evan does!

Birthday Party at Red Robin...where else?



Dinner and the company made this night a very memorable one! Thanks everyone for helping us celebrate this big day with Evan!

Housekeeping

Every once in a blue moon, when all the stars are aligned there is something wonderful that happens. Avery catches the cleaning bug and really takes it seriously.

Yesterday was one of those days. She put on her cleaning clothes, put her tunes in her ears and went to town. She left very little uncleaned and put some pretty big smiles on her parents faces.

All of her efforts were rewarded with a trip to Yogurt Stop...

All in a days work!

A New Addition

After months of searching for the perfect mode of transportation...we finally found it. Let me introduce you to the newest member of the Lowe family!

It weighs in at 1.2 tons, 144 inches, and has a very pale complexion. But it's ours and we love it!
