For when it finally warms up!

This is a "tag along" bike. We decided to attach the "trailer" to the tag along. Should be fun! It rides very smooth.

UNO!

Winter 2009/2010 First Snow in Town

So this is the first snow fall in Boise this year (Monday Dec. 7th). This snow storm was followed by about one week of high temperatures of 20degrees (as in the warmest it got was 20 degrees.... NOT "in the 20s"). The nights were getting to zero degrees and sometimes slightly below zero, and of course there was the negative wind chill factor. From what I hear, it's been about 14 years since it's been this cold in Boise.

Strong winds blow 60foot tree onto our lawn.

This all happened at night on 10/26/2009. There was a monsoon type storm that blew through Boise. Two trees blew over and fell into our yard. The branches were originally blocking the driveway. Thanfully our neighbors (art studio) came over with a chainsaw to clear out the driveway. ALSO THANKFULLY OUR HOUSE WAS NOT HIT.

The city came by two day later to clean up the mess.










(PICTURES BELOW ARE AFTER THE CLEANUP, 2 DAYS LATER) Aside from our poor trees that got smashed and the end of our fence, you almost can't tell anything happened. Check out our Maple tree... it's branches got stripped. Since the trees that fell were owned by the city, we need to file a tort claim for damages. We'll see what happen with that.

YMCA Swim Lessons Summer 2009

Naya and Kellan have been taking swim lessons all summer. As a result, their confidence in the water improved significantly.
