SPRING BREAK 2012 - MEXICAN STYLE
We decided that we needed to try Mexico in the Spring, so over Spring Break our family and the Smith family headed down for one of the best adventures we have ever experienced. We slept very little, partied a lot, ate enough food to feed an army (I think the Smith family said they gained around 20 lbs between the 6 of them! We didn't dare weigh ourselves!), went deep sea fishing, played on the beach and in the pools for hours every day, went to the market and bought a ton of crap, hung with the Valenzuela family, went on the banana boat and wave runners, and had the time of our lives. Brittani made an amazing video that I will have her put on here, but here are some pictures for the time being.
This is how the Mexicans roll

Oh yeah! The booby glasses!

LONE PEAK KNIGHT OF EXCELLENCE
Brittani was invited to an evening highlighting all of the graduating students from Lone Peak that had received a scholarship. She was only one of five that were going to attend the University of Utah, but she was proud as she stood on the stage and made the sign of the "U" with her hands!
Britt has done amazing through high school, making the most of every opportunity. She was able to transfer over 40 credit hours to the U, making it so that she only has one semester before she is a Junior in college. She amazes me - she got her smarts from her dad for sure!
CLASS OF 2012
My journal entry from 5/29/2012:
Today was perfect! Britt's graduation! She looked beautiful, had a great time, LOVED her car and just seemed to enjoy the day. I still can't believe she graduated - makes me so sad to know this part of life is ending, but I'm so excited for her next stage of life. "Oh The Places She'll Go"! I'm so proud of the girl she is and the good choices she makes. Love you Britt... to infinity and beyond.

Rick always told Brittani that if she received a scholarship, he would buy her a car...so here it is...Brittani's new car.
AND THE RACE SEASON BEGINS...IN PINK
In our spare time, Rick and I love to ride our bikes. Every year, Rick and Alejandro Vargas get together and design the new up and coming "race kit" for their team. It's always fun watching Rick spend hours tweaking and making changes trying to get the kit just right. This year Rick and Alejandro decided to go pink. They didn't tell anyone about the color choice because, well, you know, men in pink spandex means one thing! But, as always, the kits turned out perfect, and almost everyone loves them. I was probably the worst critic of the pink, but I have to admit that now I love to watch as the train of pink rides past - it's inspiring!
Ok...this post is getting too long, so I'll publish it and continue catching up on the next post. I secretly just want more posts!
