Little Me

Not sure how this picture popped up... but I'll post it 4 Throw-back Thursday.

Little me water skiing in Iowa. :-)

Total Gym Infomercial

Here's a link to my part in the Total Gym Infomercial with Chuck Norris & Christie Brinkley. It was filmed in the early 2000's and ran for 3 or so years! Bonus was getting paid royalties for each time it was on TV. :-)

CHICAGO Christie Brinkley

Date Night @ Phoenix Orpheum Theater to see the musical CHICAGO.

Starring Christie Brinkley as ROXY!

We were excited to see the show! But can Christie Brinkley sing and act? Yes... she was quite good! The whole cast was excellent with fantastic voices & dancing. Bob & I really enjoyed it!

After the show us and many others hung out to see Christie Brinkley. Even got a photo!

I told Christie that I was in one of her infomercials many years ago. She gave me a hug & said "It's great to see you again!" :-) Hahaha. I'll post a little clip of that Total Gym commercial tomorrow.

MS 150

MS 150 cycling weekend with teammates Chris & Pat.

Day #1 sunrise start... along with over 200 other riders.

Today was a 100 mile ride all over the valley.

We didn't stop much during our century route but I did snap one photo of these lavender lupins. Yellow flowers were out in full bloom too. It was a gorgeous day.

Day 1 finish photo! Cyclists could choose different distances & there were aid stations along the routes. All riders raised $ to help further research for Multiple Sclerosis.

Day #2 was 60 miles. A total of 160 miles by us for a great cause. We want to end MS!

Hedgehog Cacti

Kaylee & I out mountain biking.

Hedgehog Cactus are blooming now!

Good day to ride!

Good day to admire these fuscia flowers.

Rock Climbing Tom's Thumb

Saturday (March 16th) the 6 of us hiked to Tom's Thumb.

Less than a month ago it was covered in snow here!

Bob & I have done this favorite hike many times but this was the 1st time for Jerome & family. It was also the 1st time for BOB to rock climb to the TOP of Tom's Thumb along with JEROME (he had the tough job of leading the rope climb). Waaaaaay cool for them to stand on top & cool for us who were watching from below.

Ashley was prepared to rock climb to the top of the thumb but because the 2 little girls were doing so well hanging out with me at the base of the thumb we decided not to push our luck testing their patience. :-)

This was me having a picnic with the 2 girls and that's Jerome standing on the top of the thumb behind us (left photo). A little dancing & singing in the right photo.

The whole hike (4 miles round trip) was so beautiful with the poppies.

Baylor, Ashley, Jerome carrying Kennley, & Bob carrying the climbing rope. Tom's Thumb in the distance.

Jerome taking it all in on top of Tom's Thumb. Love this shot.

I like this one too.

Back at the base with little climber Kennley. Mission complete.

Two Thumb's Up!

Group photo! Cheeeeeeeese!

Stop and smell the poppies. :-)

Picture Perfect Day.
