These two.....

Are as thick as thieves!  Hard to believe the dude in the most awesome T Rex shirt ever starts pre school on Tuesday. 

In the hood

 Last weekend with my Dashman out and about adventuring.  

Baba Nanns summer visit!

We had a great visit with my mom while Trevor was out of town riding dirt bikes with his buds. We got 4 awesome days with Baba Nanns and non-stop fun!

 She brought a new present for Dash each day, this was a puzzle book they worked on together.

 Dinner shenanigans at Picas

 

We went to the Art Fair and played some games of corn hole at the park

 

Pretty excited about his new bison hat : )

 

Daily hugs for his favorite cat brother, Steve and blue popsicle lips

 Had an awesome lake day at Jackson Lake where we were the first ones on the beach! Baba Nanns teaching Dash how to skip rocks.

Swim buddies

 

And of course we went bowling too!

 These two, such good buddies.

Slides!

Projects

 Seems every weekend Dash and I attempt to tackle one project.  Sometimes the project takes an hour, sometimes it takes all weekend, other times it is somewhere in between.  It is a ton of fun using the tools with Dash and seeing his interest in helping me out.  This past weekend we put in a trail and hammock in a nice shaded area.  

 Loving our new work cart.  Thanks so much M and D!  

 Hard at work.  

Our projects are always done on a shoestring budget.  This last one was done for $40 worth of bark.  All the rest we had on hand.  

 Finished product!  

Lil fish....

 Been having a blast with Dash this weekend on the solo parent scene with Chels away for a trip with friends.  Friday we ventured up to Granite and got our "prune hands" on in the pool.

Why wouldn't you bike to the pool if you could?

 So fired up on swimming!  

Slow down Dash, you are growing way too fast my lil dude. 

TNR

 Last week's TNR, as with pretty much everything this past month, was filled with smoke.  

Work wanderings.

Just me and the loader on the lonely roads last week out near Worland. 

Swiming hole....

We found a new swimming hole the other day, it was perfect! 

Moto with the fam...

 Some classic shots from last weekends moto mission together as a fam.  Hard to believe this is actually happening these days.  

 Dash in a set of hand me down pants that should fit him in a few years and my old helmet!  

 Talking about how good life is.

 I cherish this shot!  

 Keeping an eye on "momma."

Working man...

 Not much more I like doing of late then doing projects around the house with Dash.  

Brought some plants down from my office the other day.  Hope they survive the transition.  

 Dash learned that he absolutely loves "drilling."  

Friday morns....

 LOTOJA prep period is coming to a close.  Been a ton of fun riding 100 milers every Friday morn since early May.  Many have been with this guy.... my bud Charlie.  

Polliwog

Just wrapped up another installment of swim lessons.  Someone was very proud! 

Yes....., his very first set of golf clubs!  So cool.  Thanks to GR and Grams. 

Dash-happenings.

 We have been having so much fun with this bundle of joy this summer. 

Next year....

 We were thwarted in our efforts to get to the nectar of the moto gods up in North Idaho, but...., we certainly didnt let that stop us from having a good time.

 Cruising the never ending logging roads of North Idaho.

 Swimming in the lake post ride. 

Finding swim holes to beat the heat.  

North Idaho moto

 We made the trek north again last weekend on a guys moto trip.  It was a tough one given we had a broken ankle, 106 degree heat, fires, and mechanicals with the bikes.  Nonetheless, it was still a fantastic trip.  

Finally....., made it to the top of Packsaddle Mtn on a dirtbike.  It is a challenge getting up there on a cool day, but when it is record breaking heat, it is a damn tough mission.  

 Scoping the smoke filled view to the north.  

 Yea, it was that brutal.  Notice how hot and what time of day.  Ugh.  

 Green and lushness was found.
