Gavin's first bike race

While up in Eagle Crest there was a professional bike race around the Bend area for six days.  Not quit the Tour De France, but it did have several of the worlds top riders there as their team did not get into the tour this year.

Anyway, on the last day of the race after the professionals had taken off on their race for the day the organizers held a kids race.  Both kids were going to do the race but Gabbie ended up being sick(too much dancing from the wedding).  But Gavin lined up on the starting line for his first bike race, which was close to a half mile in length.  He was in the 5 - 7 year old boys group, and after a fast start and leading after the first turn he fell back.  With hard work at the end of the race he ended up finishing in about sixth place.

He did a great job and already is planning to get a better bike for next year so he can win the race.

At the pools with Dayanara in Eagle Crest

Just some pictures of the fun the kids had at the pool up in Eagle Crest. 

Gabbie and Gavin in the wedding

Gabbie and Gavin had a great time at the wedding.  They both did a fabulous job during the ceremony and looked very cute and handsome, respectively.  It was a beautiful day and perfect for an outdoor wedding.  As the evening went on the kids had fun playing around on the golf course. 

Once the sun went down and the dancing started Gabbie stepped into high gear and she wouldn't come off the dance floor for about 2 hours and that was because we were leaving.  Gavin on the other hand did not want to dance and was ready for bed along with being too cold.  You can tell which of them takes after Stephanie and who takes after me.   

Pictures of the Kids plus Dayanara from the rehearsal dinner

Here is several pictures of Gabbie and Gavin from the rehearsal dinner for the wedding.  Gabbie and Dayanara were flower girls and Gavin was the ring bearer.

Gavin's golf day with the guys

While Gabbie was busy helping out with the wedding shower for Kris, Gavin spent the day with all the guys at a golf outing for Kris' further husband Andy.  The round was played with Stephanie's Uncle Lonnie, and cousins Tyler and Tony, and Poppa came along for encouragement.  Gavin had a ball driving the golf cart with Poppa, and only had a couple of near crashes and only nearly ran over Lonnie once.  It was definitely an adventure when you got into the cart with Gavin driving.

On the golf course Gavin got to putt the ball in on most holes for me and did a great job.  On several of the holes while we waited for the group in front of us Gavin got to practice tying off.  He even did a couple shots better than we did.  On the final hole Gavin played the entire hole and actually had several shots that were probably 50 plus yards in length.

Pictures to follow.

Stephanie's cousins wedding shower

Friday morning while the guys were out playing golf, Stephanie, Cathy and Gabbie along with Stephanie's Auntie Josette held a wedding shower for her cousin Kris at our house.  Gabbie had lots of fun helping organize the party.

Too Hot for the Dogs

Well a hundred degree day in Central Oregon.(38+ deg C for all the people that can handle the metric system and don't have troubles counting by tens).  So the two dog took to hiding out where it was cool.

It even wore out Gavin, and he had to take a nap.  Well he was probably the smart one along with the dogs.
