Track

Ok....Ok....I know everyone is probably getting sick of seeing Motorcycle track pics....Sorry that's a big part of our lives or should I say Keith's life. He didn't get to race this season because of grades and he's worked really hard to get them up. Not to mention he did extra chores for 2 wks just to be able to go. So Saturday we took him. Him & Levi rode and me and Logan watched and took pictures. I just love my guys!!!!

TOO COOL!

Logan took his bike to entertain himself.

We've had so much rain lately that everything is so green. It looks so great out in the desert.

& with the rain you get pretty flowers.........ok pretty weeds. Still looks beautiful

Oh and you also get mud lots of mud. As you can see Keith experienced the mud first hand.

Levi

Keith riding Levi's bike. He actually does really good on it. Move over dad your bike is getting taken over next.....I say next because Keith took over mine some time ago.

Time for a little rest

Loading up....time to go!

I love my Fridays!!!

Levi & I are both off on Fridays....for now anyway. We usually spend our Fridays taking a motorcycle ride and having lunch. Usually at a new place, which I'm not always to fond of because I don't like trying new stuff.............anyway. On Friday we decided to enjoy wonderful downtown Mesa, AZ. Mesa actually has a great downtown area. They showcase artists bronze statues all up and down Main street. We took our camera's and here's a look.

This is a view of Main St.

There's so many great shops along Main St. Clothing, Art Galleries....even a scrapbook store.

Some area's still have the stone type floor.

This is a picture of the book above....don't know if you can see it really well but it had pictures in it. I thought that was neat.

This is HUGE...notice the 2 story building in the back. They had to bring this in in 3 sections. The suitcase alone is about as big as u are.

This is a school and at certain times they still ring the Church bell.

Mesa Arts Center

This was lunch.....we stopped at an Italian deli downtown and it was great. This is flat bread with sausage & onions with tomatoes on top. It was really greasy but really good.

Growing Crystals

For Logan's Birthday he got a Crystal Growing set. He's fascinated with rocks and that kind of stuff. Everytime we go to Albuquerque to go see my mom she always takes him to the rock shop and lets him pick out some stuff. He has a collection and right now I would say he has probably anywhere from 40-50 rocks. Some are just cool looking rocks that he finds here and there but others are just beautiful.....the kind w/the crystals in them. Anyway when we were at Michaels one day he saw this Crystal Growing set and since his b-day was coming up we got it for him.

Here he is mixing the solutions.

Gotta have eye protection.....doesn't he look so cute!

So here is how it starts our. You mix the packets and poor it over a rock.

He had 3 different colors: yellow, blue & green. You let them set in this liqued stuff for days and wait............and wait...............and wait........................and wait.......I can't remember how many days we let them sit in it.

But here is what he got.....not the same as the real thing but he really likes them and they'll get added to his collection.

You can see the rock in the center and all the other is just crystals that formed.
So if you find any cool rocks, send them our way. Logan would love to get some new ones.
