November Happenings!

Sam's Nana moved from Chandler to Utah. They had just finished loading up the truck and were about to hit the road.

Sam made a goal this year to ride in the El Tour de Tucson. It is 109 miles. He did it in about 7 1/2 hours. He did really good. We were so proud of him!

Sam's brother Ray and his wife Jacque also rode, and Hyrum and Alicia rode a tandem bike. Everyone finished! Hooray!!





Jacob woke up with me at 4 in the morning to take Sam to the start line. The race started at 7am, but they had to get there early for a good spot in line. There were over 7,ooo riders! Crazy people. haha

Here is Sam with Papa about 11 miles from the finish line. He looks good! My family has an aid station that we volunteer at every year for the past 20+ years. This is at our station.

Here is Sam working on his next project. Daniel loves to help daddy! How cute!

He needs his painting hat like Daddy too!

Betsy was frying up the rice balls that her mother-in-law made.

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. We had 40 people. It was lots of fun. All of Sam's family plus mine and even my Aunt and Uncle from Utah came. It was fun to hang out with everyone.

The bro's - Tim, Sam, Ray and Meno. (Hyrum was with his in-laws this year)

More family!

More!

Even more!

And then some more!

After the festivites - Sam, Daniel and Michael were exhausted!

Lots of fun!!
