Southeast Idaho High School Mountain Biking

Last Saturday Braden's Cycling Strong High School Team and Pocatello Pioneers joined up for a group ride at Mink Creek in Pocatello.  We've seen them at each of the Utah races.  It was great to finally get together for a ride.  Aren't they a good looking group of kids and coaches?  Braden had a good time even with blowing the sidewall on his tire at the very beginning.

Ethan and I had fun seeing Grandma, Grandpa, Aubrey and the Heiner kids.  We hiked up the trail to see the creek and watch the riders go past.  Throwing rocks was definitely the highlight for the little kids.  Ethan had to physically be hauled off as he would have happily spent all day there tossing rocks in the water.  

Three Scouts and a Boy

Last Sunday we had a scout court of honor for the boys.  We didn't know that the three amigos would be getting awards from scout camp.  Barry and the boys had left a day early to go to the Anderson family reunion.

It was fun to see them get up together.  Ethan just couldn't stand it, though.  If all the other boys were up there, he needed to go up to!  We got a chuckle out of him waiting 30 seconds and then heading up to join them.  He just couldn't stand to sit there and wanted to be big, too!  Originally he went and stood in front facing the audience like the other boys.  But, then they got HANDED AWARDS so he needed up to get one, right?  

So cute and everyone thought he was adorable.  (Well, because he is!).  Braden was glad to see I'd snuck a picture of it.  Those two big boys just LOVE their baby brother!

Mmmm, Fresh Homemade Bread

I was making bread again tonight and decided it was far past time to teach Tyler how to do it.  He is much more fun to teach how to cook then say, other teenager boys (ahem, ahem), as Tyler will listen and actually try to learn.  Now that I think about it, this is the area he is easiest to teach in and gets him smiling. 

 

I had fun, he enjoyed it and I think I am going to make him my bread buddy now!  His favorite part was definitely rolling and shaping the bread.  Kind of like a kid with elastic playdoh.  

And for a first timer, I have to say he did awesome!  My bread doesn't look that nice! Oh wait.  I usually randomly glob it into shape and throw it in the pan.  Huh, I  can't imagine why correctly shaped loaves would look nicer?  Haha.  Great job, Ty!  Looks delicious!
