I went on my first bike ride in a while.  It was super nice out.  I love this weather!!!  I passed a guy who was also riding his bike.  At first I felt personal triumph... until I realized the guy was smoking while riding.  Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of riding your bike?  You aren't getting the health benefits for riding if your smoking... and you sure as heck aren't enjoying the fresh air.  O-well. 

I officially tried a chin up (for the chin up competition)  Week one: 0 chin ups.  (I'm a total whimp!)

Yesterday my mom took some family pictures for us.  Here is a sneak peak of one of the pictures she took. :o)

Smoking while riding a bike? WHATEVER!

Your pictures look great!

Kelli - I know, huh? STUPID! Thanks for the compliment of my picture!

Smoking on the bike? That's nuts. And sad.

I LOVE that picture- you are such a sweet family!

I'm right there with you at 0 pull or chin ups. I expect to be there a while :)

Strike a pose Melanie!

Rachel - I expect to be at 0 chin ups for a while as well.

Mike - :o) She was flirting with the camera the whole time. I got some great pictures of her. It's too bad Brandon and I aren't as photogenic as her.

Wow, what great scenery! Where was that photo taken. Not to discount the subject in the photo also!

Walter - This picture was taken at my mom's cabin in Christopher Creek, Arizona. It's a beautiful.

From walter on Tue, Dec 02, 2008 at 09:45:49

Its a beautiful alright. Im sorry, I had to poke fun of your grammar. Burt corrects me all the time too. You wouldnt think of Arizona by looking at that picture.

hey, be nice... I had my mother on the phone when I typed that, and she was an emotional wreck. (Yes, I'm the bad daughter that was typing on her blog while her mother was crying in her ear... I will admitt to that)

From walter on Tue, Dec 02, 2008 at 09:58:15

Sorry, I couldnt help myself! Alrighty then so I was going to help you with your chinups. lower the bar more so your not hanging. lol

From Camille on Tue, Dec 02, 2008 at 10:09:19

Okay... so I'm pretty much cheap, and I've been doing them at the park I take Melanie to on my walks. There are the bars on the playground. I can use all the help I can get though.
