On Thursday we went to the Vale, Oregon Suicide Horse Race I had never gone to the race before, but I had heard a lot about it. The riders come down this steep mountain trail. There were only five racers. I thought there would have been a lot more, but I quickly learned why there aren't so many.
A horse went down, going end over end. From where we were, it looked like the rider was run over by the horse coming down behind, but he was ok, so I'm guessing the horse missed him. After this moment we never saw the white horse again. We saw the vet and others working on him up there, but we never saw the horse. My guess is that it didn't turn out well.
Here is a picture of a rider coming past us and toward the water which they go through, and then on into the stadium.
Me with Chase and Trey at the 4th of July Breakfast in Adrian.
I had to take a picture of Chase in front of his new school for the fall. This is the new Adrian Elementary school. This will be it's second year of use. Lucky Chase gets a new school.
In the afternoon of the 4th we hiked up to Jump Creek with the boys and our friends Jake and Emily and their boys. It's such a nice little waterfall and pool. Now, that I look at it the water is kind of dirty looking, but it really is pretty, and you wouldn't think that there would be something like this out in the middle of the desert.
Here's me and Emily in the water. It was a little cold at first, but once you got wet it wasn't so bad.
The boys at Jump Creek playing in the water.
There was a guy there jumping off the rocks. I thought he was a little crazy, but it made for a neat picture and he didn't die, so that's good.
After swimming we all came home and had a BBQ. We fried stuffed bacon hamburgers, corn on the cob and more. Yum!
The boys on our trek up the mountain. We drove up the butte behind our house to watch the fireworks all through out the valley. It was pretty exciting!
We didn't quite make it all the way to the top, but we still had a really pretty view. I had made some strawberry shortcake, so we ate that as we sat and watched the fireworks. We really had a nice time.
We met in September 1998. We dated a bit and then Sterling went on his mission to Guatemala in '99 When he got home in '01 we started dating again. We got married May 10, 2002. We've lived in Logan, Rexburg & Adrian Oregon where we currently live. We love our little family.
Chase George
Chase is 8 years old and just got baptized. He loves to read and run, ride his bike and make his own desserts. He's my biggest help.
Treyton Lawrence
Trey is 6 and is a tall guy. He's now officially taller than his older brother. We learned on May 2nd that Trey is a very brave and tough guy. He was burned but is doing great. He loves dressing up, drawing and the wii.
Keegan Sterling
Keegan is 3 years old and is a fun little man. He is turning into a talker. He loves his milk and a show (as he would say) He likes running in circles and going outside with dad.
Abbigail Ann
Abbie is now two months old. I can't believe she's growing so fast. She has started to smile and her big brothers just love her to pieces.
