I DID IT!!!!!!

Done deal. I accomplished a goal, finally. I rode my bike 50 miles. It was good to be home. It took me 3 1/2 hrs. My average speed was 14 mph with a high of 30 mph (that was too fun!!!) I went around the west side of UT lake and then a little around Lehi to meet the 50 miles.
My legs and buttocks were on fire! They cramped up the last 10 miles. I couldn't wait to get home and lay down, but I couldn't. They were cramping so bad I had too keep moving. Mis made me some gatorade stuff I had and get some Ibprofen. I had to massage them for like 15 minutes to get rid of it. I will sleep well tonight :)

I was too tired to get a picture of me after the ride, but this tells the story of "Before and After"

PRESIDENT KIRKPATRICK

My beautiful wife is grateful for her new calling, the new Stake Primary President. She has wonderful counselors (sorry for the spelling): Katie Lewis, Kate Ross, and Tera Reary. She is very excited to get going in this new calling.

Addicted to Biking

I began doing a lot of biking this year. I have had a blast!!! I love it! I have lost some weight and look great in spandex. Can you see me?


Just kiddin' I'm not in any of these pics. Actually, I'm at the end of this string of bikers.

Wrong again, I'm still trying to figure out how these biking shorts go on :(

I announced 4-5 weeks ago that I wanted to do a 50 miler. Well, the time is near. I am getting close to going for it. Either this saturday or during next week.
If something happens to me, may you all enjoy the tools and wood in the garage that Mis can't wait to get rid of :) I love you all

Summer re-cap

Ty and Alex had fun whatever they were doing.



We spent a lot of time with baseball this summer. Both Trey and Colton were on teams. They had a lot of fun.



Trey was either asleep or intense. Colton just had fun

THE 5K

Mis decided to run a 5k this spring. Here and Amanda trained and the excitement built up for a great race. They had fun! It was cold that morning and so they bundled up. They ended up with their sweatshirts around their waste. They weren't winded at all. THEY WERE AWESOME!!!! Our camera doesn't have sound, but you can see Mis and Amanda coming up the last stretch. I don't think they knew they were being filmed. I am very proud of them!

SENTIMENTAL COUPLE

Ok, so I recently acquired a desk by a window at work. This morning, a movement caught my eye and I watched an employee that I know do something that was very touching. I know, I know this isn't manly to talk about this sort of stuff but..... First of all, "John" is off work quite often due to his wife's health problems (sounds familiar for some reason). He is in his 50's I believe.
Ok, so I see him get out of the car, walk around to the passenger side, help his wife out of the car (she has oxygen tubing hooked up to her nose). He then gives her a big hug and a extra long kiss. He helps her in the driver's seat and reaches in and gives her another kiss. Both are smiling the whole time. You could obviously could see how much love they share. Just too neat! I totally stopped what I was doing, sat back, with a smile on my face and a good feeling in my heart and watched a couple in love, showing simple charity to one another........this is all hard to explain. My thought was: this is how it should be. I know I need to work on this with my wife and my family. Often I forget what is most important-family. Ok, enough mushy stuff, here is a funny cartoon:
