Bikes, BBQs, babies, & Bouncy ropes

I recently acquired this beauty from a garage sale and I love riding it around town or to the grocery store to rent Redbox movies.
I found that even from the other side of the country my mom doesn't give up the 'worrying thing' and convinced me to finally buy and actually wear a helmet. I got this cuteish one but it still makes my head look huge (better than a smooshed head I guess). 
To be honest I'm not very good at riding this particular bike for some reason and kept falling over/running into things so I figured that I might really need a helmet.

Here's some things I saw on this exciting bike ride. There are only a few pics because the ride home was too difficult and dangerous to take pictures since I was busy trying to balance a big ole helmet box in one hand and my ipod in the other while semi-mud covered due to a puddle I wasn't prepared for. Needless to say I got a few weird looks.
When I arrived home I was welcomed by the hiss of 4 geese parentals surrounded by 21, deceivingly cute, evil gooslings.


Recently we got to spend a Sunday with Brady's bro Garrett & sis-in-law Mindy. We went to church with them and had a delicious bbq with Omaha steak burgers in honor of Brady's 24th Birthday. 
This is our nephew Carter. He's about 6 mo. and stinkin' adorable. Seriously cute.


While I was admiring Carter, Garrett was trying to teach Brady the skills of 'slack-lining' or walking on a bouncy rope. Its really hard.

I love that bike! I felt the same way on my road bike at first when I got it. It's a lot different from other bikes. I especially love the music in the background of the video (mostly because it is coming from Brady's cell phone. Garrett has been rockin' out to his phone while we're in public places too!!! Our husband are so so funny.

i'm not sure i understand the sport of slack lining. I would like to see garrett demonstrate the way it's supposed to be done.

Dear biker and slacker

Having crashed and burned, I wish my mom would have insisted I would wear a helmet however it would NOT have done any good with my face plant crash.

We are proud of you guys and hope you have a wonderful memorable summer.

We are tickled that you can get together. There is nothing like family.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Love J & Gwen
