Hoops

Lars shot this a couple of days ago and insisted I post it.  A little background on my girl Lo, she loves ANYTHING outside, so most afternoons its tether ball (if her family will participate), her 2nd choice is  basketball....with her pink ball!

Mazama Fun Run

We started our Memorial weekend off with the Mazama Fun Run.  Logan ran the kids 1K, Luke did the 5K and got 3rd in the 13-15.  Lars and I did the 10k, both getting 4th in the 30-39.

Its such a fun and beautiful run.  The best part is..... right afterwards they have the "World Famous Pancake Breakfast".

To be able to hang with great friends and their families in a beautiful place and run, was a great start to the weekend!

What a weekend!

I am Tired (yes with a capital T), after this weekend! So many fun things to do and the weather was just perfect!

This morning Lars and I got up early, took the kiddos to my parents and biked 75 miles with a couple of willing friends!

The route lead us from downtown Leavenworth, up the Chumstick (which should be noted is a gradual 14 mile climb, ignorance was bliss), through Plain and Lake Wenatchee and back to downtown to end with a beer at the Munchen Haus! Not the flattest 75 miles I have ever done, but the scenery was well worth it!

We ended the day with my Grandpa's 90th birthday! 90 years, that is something to be celebrated!

Logan's Day!

Kids ages 5-13 can participate in a multi sport relay know as Jr. Ridge 2 River.  This year Logan did a tandem with her friend Torin.  She did the running leg, he then kayaked and biked, then they met up for the obstacle course!  So much fun to watch! 

Again we love having my sister living here, the whole family came out to support Lo!

All in all a GREAT day of racing! Way to go Logan and Torin!

Lars and the Wenatchee Omnium!

A few more pics from Lars racing weekend! The first few are at criterium Saturday evening.  They rode 20 minutes in a 1 mile loop in downtown Wenatchee.  It is terrifying to watch, and hard to do (they basically ride anaerobic the entire time), but Lars got done and said he loved it!

The second set are from the road race Sunday, it was a 40 mile race that included 2 loops around Joe Miller!

It's a racing weekend!

Luke had his last track meet Friday night.  We sat there from 3:30-7 at times in 80 degrees and sun, and others during a 5 minute downpour.  This picture was taken when it let up a bit.

Lars had his first bike race of the season, it started this morning with a time trial out on the Malaga hwy, this evening will be the criterium and tomorrow morning is the road race out on Joe Miller (locals will appreciate this...2 loops).
I plan to take more photos tonight!

Mothers day

It was a pretty perfect Mothers Day!  Started off early taking my 4 legged child Kaiser for a beautiful 7 mile run.  He must have know it was Mother's day, he was on his best behavior!
Came home to a wonderful breakfast of blueberry pancakes (my fave) and coffee in the hot tub!
Logan wanted to do some gardening (who's child is she anyways) so we pulled weeds.  Lars and I set out for a ride up some hills in the valley, came home and the little children joined us on a ride around the the loop and then to Safeway to get goods for dinner.  Really in my book that was a perfect day!  Loves to my family for making it such a great day!
