Like Father Like Son

Richards Dad has ridden motorcycles pretty much his whole life, except for when he was raising his kids.  He rode them all growing up, and tells funny stories about riding them in High School and you could always tell what girls had ridden with him that day because they would have a streak of dirt up the back of their sweater from the back tire!  Anyway he stopped riding when Richard was born.  His Dad bought him an old Honda motorcycle in February of 2003, and that fall Richards sister Jessica got married and on the way home from dropping off the last bridesmaid at the airport he stopped at the HarleyDavidson dealership and bought himself a Harley.  Well, Richard has always wanted to ride motorcycles, he has gotten his permit twice but never his license.  Well the other day he was talking to his Dad about wanting to buy a motorcycle and I think his Dad thought it was cool that Richard wanted to do something like him, so he told Richard he could ride the old Honda to get his license.  The day he said we could pick it up we went over there and Harvey had filled up the tires, filled it with gas, and had it out and all ready for Richard.  So they both went out for a ride.                                                                            

Richard rides it a few times a week, to meetings and to feed the chickens and little runs to the store.  I wonder when Adam will want one?!

Kenzies Piano Recital

Kenzie is still taking piano, and even though practicing can be difficult, she really loves it, and wants to keep taking.  She performed 3 pieces at her recital last week.  The first was a duet with her teacher and the second is a song they are learning in Primary, and the third is one she just likes and tried to play it as fast as she can!

Computer Overload...

So as you may have noticed or has only Diane noticed?  Anyway I have been blogging quite a bit lately-I don't know what it was summer vacation, looking at pics, and wanting to share them, or just a thought that I was gonna see if I could keep up with Diane!  Well anyway I hit a speedbump so to say last Sunday.  We had just gotten home from our friends the Guymons and I wanted to blog about their sons going away party before Diane did (so ya I guess I was blogging to see if I could keep up with Diane!) anyway I was downloading the pics off of Richards camera when all of a sudden my computer starts flashing messages to me about how my hard drive is full, and there is not enough memory to run the programs etc, etc!  WHAT!!  How in the world did I fill up a whole computer!  So I have spent this week deleting old programs and cleaning it up.  I haven't been able to free up to much space, and found that the amount of pictures that I have stored on my computer is about half of the hard drive!  I have about 90% saved on an on line site, but I still have a hard time taking them off my computer.  Although I keep telling myself what good are they doing on my computer anyway where no one really sees them.  Didn't I blog about this before?  I think that was my goal this year to do something cool with all my pictures-whoops, totally missed that one.  Although I do still have half the year left!  I better get on that one.  Well I got my computer cleaned enough to run stuff again, so now I can blog again-and with that very long winded into here are the pics we took at Williams farewell party.  My boys love love William, he is the cool older brother they don't have, that takes them for rides in his Jeep, plays hide and seek with them, and listens to the radio with them (they even know his favorite song!) I am so grateful for William and the example he has set for them and I am so excited for William, now Elder Guymon to be serving the people of France on his mission!
