Legacy Trail...

Went on a Sunday evening bike ride with this boy :-)
I love long summer days!
It was a beautiful ride on the Legacy Trail as the sun was setting.
20 miles in and hour and a half. Not bad, but if we want to even be descent in a century ride we're going to have to pick things up a bit...

A toast to my dad...

 A toast to my dad on Father's Day:
 Thanks for always being there for me with words of advice, good laughs, the constant teasing (in moderation), and for teaching me everything I need to know about anything; school, boys, religion, politics. You're my go to guy whenever I need advice. Whenever I've really needed you, you've been willing to listen and share. 
Thank you for teaching me hard work and to not only go after my dreams, but be passionate about them - just like you are passionate about flying. Thank you for sharing with me your life and experiences so that I can become the best that I can be. I am where I am today because of your love and guidance. Thanks Dad! Happy Father's Day.

Motherhood...


This is awesome. I think it encapsulates how many of us kids feel towards our mom but don't express very well. You should probably grab a tissue first, then watch it. I couldn't believe it even made me a little teary. Wish I would have found this for mother's day, but none-the-less, I felt it was worth posting and worth a shout out to my own mom.

Mom - The part that got me a little teary was when you see the mom in the bathroom wrapping her sons foot after an injury. Reminded me of the many late nights that you sat on the floor in my bedroom rubbing my leg after my leg injury because I couldn't sleep. You're the best. I love you!
