For Uncle Mark’s 40th Birthday, all he ever wanted to do was go riding. Of course our entire family was happy to oblige the request and off we went to a riding spot in Mattawa for the day. Mattawa is roughly two and a half hours from our house, just southeast past the Columbia River. There is a great track there for the kids to ride and then roads and trails for all the bigger kids. Everyone had a great time, Uncle Scott broke in his brand new truck and also broke his bike – A productive weekend for him! Taylor and Nikki ripped up the track and Taylor wouldn’t get off her bike. Ryan mastered the 150 for the first time and Carter rode on his bike with Melissa and Daddy helping him (sadly I was feeding Gavin and wasn’t able to get photos).

Oh My Gosh – Gavin looks so much like Jeremy as a baby, especially the hair line, forhead, eyebrows & eyes. What a cutie!
