Bike Race

The biggest mountain biking event of the year (at least the biggest in our little world!) happened this past weekend - Lee and a dozen or so of his friends formed a few teams and raced in Epic Rides' Kona 24 Hour series in Tucson, AZ. They had a blast together and needless to say after 24 hours riding mountain bikes, are quite exhausted; and needless to say that my laundry room now smells of an interesting mix of sweat and campfire - mmmmm. Lee's team pulled an AMAZING 2nd place in their single speed division and we are very proud of him and all the other guys who raced!

Sooooo.... since Saturday was Valentine's Day and Lee was gone, it was a good thing I have another "man" in my life to celebrate with....Aaron and I had a good time hanging out together and other "widows" of the bike race, Grandma, cousin Brynn, etc. Oh yes, and I can't forget our blessed time with my dear friend Kohls and my 30% off coupon. (Heck yeah for $4 pjs for Aaron and $9 jeans for Lee!)

Aaron made it a good weekend for me by actually saying and calling me "Ma Ma" many times, which he never has really done - He knows my name but hasn't really said it as he is an 18 month old of few words. =) It SOOOO warmed my heart to hear it!

And of course, my husband still showed me some love despite being gone and had this amazing cake made and delivered to me by one of our college girls, Taryn, who is a professional baker....

And yes, it tastes as good as it looks!

Honestly, it was a good weekend for all of us even though we were apart. Lee is off tomorrow so we will get some good time as a family! Hey, honey, how about a nice long mountain bike ride together????
