Zion Century Bike Ride

Well we survived the cold and rain in St. George! Brad and I each completed a 30 mile ride. The hills killed me! But Myles schooled us both...Myles completed 108 miles!!!!!!!! It took him a little over 6 hours.

Here we are just before starting the ride. Please keep in mind that it was stinking cold and I had a lot of layers on (I am not that puffy!) And where did Myles get those legs!?!?!?
Myles and Brad enjoying the murphy bed at the time-share :)

I told Myles to take the luggage cart back down stairs and turned around to find this. Boys will be boys!


Here is Myles coming in after 108 miles. Brad and I were so proud of him!!

We had the greatest time on our weekend getaway. We played ping pong, hot tubbed, ate until we thought we would pop, did a little shopping, and laughed our butts off!!

Still Alive

Yes, we are still alive! We have just busy little bees, but not to worry nothing is wrong :)

Mom will be getting her first dose of Bone Marrow on March 5th. They will do 4 days of Chemo starting on 2/27/10, then one day of Radiation, one day of rest and then BM. It is going to be a really rough spell, so please keep her in your prayers. She has been eating better and seems to be getting a bit stronger.

Today is Shakierra's 14th birthday!! She will be at our house this weekend to celebrate. I even bought her some make up this year, guess it is time to accept that she isn't a little one any longer :)

A week and a half left until our St. George bike ride. I am getting way excited. Brad had been busy prepping each of bikes for the trip. He taught me how to change my tire in case of a flat, I don't know why I just can call for road-side-assistance :)

Roller Coaster

Our lives feel like a roller coaster these days. Here is a quick update for you to enjoy the ride with us :)

Mom's siblings are not a bone marrow match
A BM match is found on the international registry

Get a new dog
Give back the new dog

Brad gets a cold
Brad gets over a cold
Brad gets yet another cold

Myles has his ipod stolen
Myles asks how he can earn money for a new one (Wow... he didn't just ask me to buy it!!!)

So, lost of ups and downs. But on the whole we are doing great!!
