It's Hot

Guess how long it took for these to dry today?


Not long at all.

Urban Assault

This past Sunday Kyle & Pickle competed in New Belgium's Urban Assault, and did pretty well. Notice how the two other southern cities are slated for April and May, and Austin has their's at the end of June? Yeah, ridiculous. We're on a record heat wave coupled with a massive drought, which made for a very hot day, and ride for the guys. Jill, Zoe, and I toughed it out under the shade, chilling in our custom t-shirts designed by Jill herself!

Zoe was glad to see Dad finish the race.

Jill was glad to see Pickle.

And here's a pic of Kyle & Pickle along with Marcus, Tracie,
and Marcus's folks, who flew in just to ride with them!

beach vacation

family portrait

Last weekend we went down to Galveston with the Buchanans and had a wonderful time. Apparently the condo we were supposed to stay in caught fire a couple weeks ago (!), but thanks to some quick thinking by Brad and Emily we were able to stay at a house further along the beach. It probably was a better situation honestly, minus the pool for the kids. It was of course ridiculously hot, but we were quick to adapt with beach outings in the morning and naps and town outings in the afternoon.

bored with looking at shops

how does Emily get her hair to do that?
