Spring Break!

For spring break we did our annual trip down to Moab. I would like to say that it was warm and sunny, but it was NOT! The first day of riding (thurs.) was pretty nice. The rest of the days had rain, snow, wind and rain. This year was the first year that Jace rode a motorcycle. I was really concerned for his safety. The first day he struggled at bit. By the second day he rode like a Pro. He was bruised from his hips to his toes. If he wrecked he just got up and got back on the bike without complaining! I called him "Evil Kanevil (sp)" while we were in Moab. That boy is not scared of anything or as I say, no sense of self-preservation. JT got a new motorcycle, a KTM. He also struggled the first day. I thought that we might be bringing that bike home and selling it, but the next day he rode so well. It's really nice as a parent to see your kids growing up to be good people. I was really proud of my kids on the trip. Arie says that she didn't like to ride. She just wanted to play with her friend Addi. Most of Arie's time was spent in the hot tub! Shane has officially retired from the tour guide down in Moab. He says that next year he will be on a motorcycle! The kids were having too much fun without him!

Now we are back home, back to the regular routine of things. Back to school, track practice, YM's, scouts, achievement days, and soccer practice. The nice thing is that I think that spring is somewhat here!!!
