Coyotes game

Last night, we got free tickets to go to a Coyotes game. Someone at work couldn't use them and Ty willingly accepted to go in his place. The seats were awesome! We were in one of the suites and we felt so high class being there. They had snacks and drinks...and free beer too! :)

I even took a picture of the free bags of peanuts. I love free peanuts. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go read my blog entry about the Diamond backs game from August...

Mom's Birthday

This weekend we celebrated my Mom's birthday. We all surprised her by showing up at their house and made dinner and dessert for her. It was a lot of fun. We started the evening with a little bocci ball.

Texas sheet cake!

Dad was work out from all the grandkids, I guess, because he fell asleep in the middle of the party.

Dust Devil Race

Yesterday was the big race day we have all been waiting for--the Dust Devil mountain bike race in Fountain Hills. Ty has been training for months and shown a lot of dedication by riding in the wee hours of the morning. The race covers about 17 miles of mountain trails and takes about an hour and a half.

A few seconds after the start (Ty on the left in light gray and Cody on the right in blue).

They both finished! Cody did really well. The final times haven't been posted yet, but he probably placed in the top 3 for his division. Ty was really doing well, but got slowed down when he had to fix a flat tire. Unfortunately, in the next 20 minutes, he had to stop and fix 2 more flats! Better luck next time, honey!

Progress...

So, we decided that the packing tape on the ceiling didn't look that convincing. Ty is taking on the task of repairing it without hiring anyone. He's definitely made some progress.
