BS lately

So lately in the BS house has been one full of adventure and joy. S recently got s new mountain bike... He keeps wanting to take B out on some crazy downhill mountain rides. B could only be convinced to do an "easy" bike path. So they headed to the west side of Reno and rode around one of the nature parks that also includes some nice bike paths (with plenty of rocks, jumps, sharp turns, and all those things B was so excited about! Insert sarcasm here...). Needless to say S loved his new bike and is excited for the next step up from that "easy" park. B is a little more cautious considering her ability to always become injured.

S has also been busy with the scout ages 14-15. They are planning a huge high adventure camp out for the end of July. They are heading to the Narrows in Utah for a whole week. B is a little jealous that S gets to go because she has been dying to go ever since she saw the first picture of them. She keeps telling S that they need a cook and that she would be so happy to go and cook for everyone as long as she got to hike for a bit.

They also had some super exciting news...S's brother Darren and his wife Kate had twins in April and they are both so cute. B is excited to be an aunt for the first time (besides marring into being an aunt) to these two beautiful girls Paige and Jane. Seems like mom, dad, and babies are doing well. BS just can't wait to get a chance to meet these two new additions to the family!!

BS headed up to Pocatello for Easter and was able to see S's sister Angie and her husband Scott. They had an absolute blast seeing their nieces S's mom and so much family. The highlight of the trip was going to Jackson Hole with everyone to meet up with Darren and Kate before the babies were born. It was so much fun to walk around and spend time with people they love so much.

B has been in full fledge training mode lately. If she's not running she editing photos on the new computer S bought her for her birthday and Mother's Day. She recently pull a muscle and had to pick up road biking to try and keep up with cardio needed to run the Reno Tahoe Oddessey and to make sure she is ready for her marathon in August. Of course she would sign up for a marathon right before she pulls a muscle. But because of this pulled muscle B has found out how much she LOVES you road biking. S had a road bike and B had been wearing S's shoes and biking. No worries B only fell down twice still clipped in.... It's actually a funny story... She was trying to cross from one bike path to another and in order to do that she had to cross the street on the crosswalk. So she pulled up to the poll to push the crosswalk button and then started to back up... When she stepped back on the right foot suddenly she remembered (as she was falling) that her right foot was still clipped into the bike and couldn't put her weight on that leg because it would cause the bike to tip over. So she landed nicely on that right side and then promptly got up and crossed the street. She kept riding fine and then   was coming back that same way when she decided at the same light to not push the button this time for fear of falling again. So she was on the street and decided to back up a little so the car could turn
right in front of her when suddenly she forgot again that that same right foot was still clipped in.... Needless to say this second time she landed with that same right hip/butt combo but instead on a nice curb. She's a trooper though she got up and kept biking. She got home and texted S to warn him about falling and how she had scratched the seat a little. S was so kind and was worried about B and didn't care about the bike. B is doing great though despite those two incidents. She climbed back on and kept going. She has LOVED biking and is thinking after her marathon she might do a triathlon. She might be a little crazy....S is wondering if she has some serious brain damage to continue to want to do bigger and crazier races. This is still to be undetermined ;)!

B went home to Colorado the end of May for her brothers high school graduation. She enjoyed stenciling with her mom, learning how to sew days of girls hygiene kits, seeing her pregnant sister, and her sister that's in dental hygiene school. She enjoyed catching hr brothers up on the Fast and Furious movies so they could go and see the 7th Fast and Furious movie, and she didn't cry (at least
not as bad as the first time around). She enjoyed spending time with her family and seeing everyone she doesn't get to see often.

S had a week full of car time:) he never gets enough when B is in town. He had fun goofing off and going to pick and pull. He also had his mom drive though and got to spend some quality time with her. S also got sick while B was gone and ended up having to take a sick day. S never gets sick so this was a huge shock to B and she felt horrible that S felt so bad while she was gone. But he survived and was smiling and not sick when B got home.

BS are getting ready for their first year anniversary! B is in charge and they are headed to Santa Cruz:)
