Ben's BIG Adventure


Ben and my brother Jeff rode their bikes from the Jordan River Temple to the St. George Temple. They did it last year but this year we decided to follow them along and watch this huge accomplishment. My mom and sister came with me and the kids. Here is Daphne playing with her stickers. They were a life saver. She had so much fun decorating her car seat and everything else she could reach. It was a long couple of days in the car and she was a trooper.


Here is Ben coming in to one of the scheduled stops. They would stop as a group along the way for lunch and just to make sure everyone was keeping up.


Daphne waiting for her Daddy at one of the stops. She got to eat suckers and sit in the truck to wait. They would stop for food and drinks.


Here is Ben!! I am so proud of him. I know this is a lot of work and very trying. He really enjoys riding his bike and I am glad he has opportunities to do things like this.


Coming in to St. George they put on matching tee-shirts and all rode together. There were a group of riders along with road crew.


One big line of riders!!


Jeff and Ben at the Temple. They made it!!!


Here is a group shot of all the riders. I was so impressed with them all especially Ben.

We had a great trip. Thanks Mom and Sarah for putting up with the kids in the car for days and also following the crew. We had a great time. Daphne loves seeing her dad riding his bike. WAY TO GO BEN, WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!!!

Ryker --6 Months Old

Ryker is now 6 months old. I can't believe how fast it went. He loves to swing in our back yard. Daphne is so good about taking turns with her swing.


Ryker's new milestone is sitting up on his own. He is still a little tipsy but he loves being up. He watches his sister run circles around him. She wants to play with him more and more now that he is moving around.


Ryker is so much fun to have around. We are so glad that he is a part of our family!!
