Happy 34th Birthday Chad!

Lucky Chad, his birthday was on a Saturday this year! He had the day off and for his birthday, he wanted to drive up to Vivian Park and ride our bikes all the way from Vivian Park to our house. It was a great day and we all had a fun time. The only negative was that Carson had a crash but he was a real trooper and was very brave about it.

Later that night, we went to my Dad and Ginny's for a birthday dinner and birthday apple pie. I had made Chad a wacky chocolate cake the day before, so Tina made him an apple pie.

It was a great day. Best Wishes to Chad for a great year ahead!

Chad and I got new bikes on July 3, 2009. We both had sold our bikes since moving to Provo and it was time to get new ones. Carson has his Redline BMX bike that he really enjoys riding and we wanted to be able to go riding as a family. So, we were both off on the 3rd and we paid a visit to Taylor's Bike Shop in Provo. Chad has been looking at this bike for months. It's called a Giant STP. It's a single speed bike, basically a BMX bike for adults. I had been wanting a cruiser and after looking at every Wal-Mart, Target and K-Mart on the Wasatch Front, decided to bite the bullet and just spend a little extra money for a nice bike. Chad had been encouraging me in that direction anyway so he was pleased when I made that decision. I got a Giant Simple Seven. It has seven gears and it definitely is simple. I love it. It is so comfortable to ride!
