It's me!

My outfit totally clashed with the bike. I was so embarrassed. I actually have had that shirt for awhile, and bought the helmet a couple weeks ago. It was just a coincidence that they matched. That doesn't happen often. My mom can varify that.

Up close and personal! Maybe a little too personal? I thought so.

I have to admit, I love the "boot" pictures! It's great to sit back and watch time pass! I even had time to write you a message!

Yep, that's me chillin' on the quad! For the older generation, that is me, sitting on the four-wheeler. I know, I'm a smart donkey..sorry

Quads

(left-Ryan, right-Jerrod)

This past weekend, we went out to Mescalero Sand Dunes to ride four-wheelers...again! Saturday we got a late start riding because there was an accident with two dirt bike riders. They had to bring in a helicopter, 3 ambulances and the search and rescue team. The boys were lucky they weren't killed, but they have extensive healing to do in the next year. Good thoughts go out to them! We finally got our friend Ryan out riding again!! woohoo!! It was great to see him have so much fun. He's an awesome rider. I despise him! Mainly because he's so natural riding! I'd say he looks graceful, but that's too girly! So he looks handsomeful!

The boys! They were talking strategy for the dune they were planning on jumping. MJ looks like he's left out of the conversation, Ryan and Jerrod are passionately staring at each other, and Ferron's kind of in his own little world!

You can't tell, but Ryan is popping this wheelie! I did a wheelie!!!!! sadly though, no one saw it, so it doesn't count...sigh. I was so excited about it too! I'd like to say it was on purpose, but I'd get struck by lightning. I gunned the throttle to get me up a hill and landed on the back tires. It was AWESOME. I looked around to see if anyone saw, but they had left me in their dust! I do however have pictures of me jumping a small hill, so I will post those when I get them!

Polar Express

As I was looking through some files today, I found a couple pictures I forgot to post! Which is brilliant because I haven't posted anything lately.

With the anticipation of Spring right around the corner and our 75 degree weather today, I am going to bring your thoughts back to the snow filled days of December! I can just hear the glee and happiness radiating from the other side of the computer screen. So, before you get too excited about the snowy pictures, I warn you now, the pictures aren't really about the snow. Granted, there is snow in the pictures, but it's not the main subject!

The Polar Express-Durango, Colorado

It's a train ride for all ages! At least I enjoyed myself. The ride is based from the book/movie "Polar Express." The kids (myself included) dress in the pajamas and board the train for some hot coco and a cookie, a little story telling, some dancing and singing, and of course...Santa Claus! The entire ride takes about an hour and was worth the 5-7 hour drive!

As we were anxiously waiting on the loading dock we heard a loud toot and saw dark smoke billowing in the air! (poor description of a gigantic train, but I just wanted to say "toot" rather than "choo choo") The train came bounding down the track as all the kids began to jump up and down( And no, I wasn't jumping up and down! What do you take me for, a little kid? sheesh )

I achieved this picture by going out the enter-"no exit door!" Did I ever tell you I'm cixelsyd...sorry, I mean dyslexic? The guard on the other side of the door was nice and understanding, so he let me get close enough to take a picture of the train docking.

It was a fun trip and think it will be fun to take the nephew there when he's older! I have more pictures of the trip, but who wants to see grown adults and young children leaping and bounding over a human on the ground as they jump from bed to bed in a motel room?

My how time passes by

Hello again!

I'm sorry it's been a month since my last post! Not that I have had any complaints about not posting, but I feel bad anyway. I hate that I put the blog on hold because my life is stuck on the fast forward button. But enough with my words, it's time for pictures!! WooHoo!!!
Sadly though, I don't have any at the moment, so you can exit out of this blog or keep on reading. (I wouldn't know either way. It only posts how many people visit and not how many people actually read!)

I know you're wondering why I don't have pictures to post and the reason is..........I'm forgetful! Yes, I said it out loud! Well, it's typed on the computer and put out into cyberspace for all eternity! I reckon my forgetfulness comes from my dad (sorry Dad, but you know it's true) . I forgot where I'm going with this.................Gosh darn it..........hold on, let me think................ Ok! Sorry, my thoughts got derailed again, as they so often do! Pictures!! I forgot my memory card in someone else's computer, therefore, I don't have my pictures! Once I get them, I will post them immediately. Those pictures were taken at Ski Apache a few weeks ago!

I do however have two pictures I took the other morning around 6:00AM when the sun was rising, but I just haven't had time to put them on the computer. They are amazing! I certainly enjoy them and maybe someday (soon) you will enjoy them too!

I did try to take a picture of the HUGE moon the other night, but the car behind me was not so appreciative that I decided to park on the side of the road to attempt a picture. Needless to say, I hauled out of there. And when I say hauled, I mean going as fast as I possibly could without breaking the speed limit! Maybe I will attempt this picture again, but with more planning on my part and less flashing of headlights and honking of horns from the passer-byers!(if that's such a word).
Well, I hope you enjoyed the update! I hope you don't fret about the lack of pictures on this blog. I will post many more pics for the next one. They might be pics of random objects, but it will be fun!
