What they have hills in Ohio?

So Spencer had a road bike race he did this weekend. I don't know the technicalities- and I am sure Spencer will correct me on this after he reads it but I guess when you do road races there are 5 levels. You are supposed to start at level 5 and if you win enough races in level 5 you can get a license to move to level 4 then if you place in enough of those you keep moving up. So since Spencer hadn't done a bike race in 2 years he should have signed up for the level 5 but it might not surprise you that he was concerned that there might not be enough competition at level 5 so somehow he manged to sign up for the 3-4 group (they combined them in this race) even though he wasn't "licensed". It was a really hard ride with a really long steep hill that they had to climb 6 times-in a loop. Since there isn't even so much as a mound of dirt in our part of Ohio this was a killer for him. All things considered I was so stinking proud of him when he took 3rd place. Just as a side note Sofie thinks any guy in spandex on a bike is daddy. At the race anytime a biker went by she yelled "go daddy"- pretty dang cute.

Well most of you might already know that I love surprises. So even though I am sure there are lots of people who don't love surprises I still like to surprise others. It's probably like when you get a gift from someone and it is really what they want. Anyways my good friends Lori and Michelle helped me plan a surprise baby shower for our friend Melanie at MY favorite restaurant P.F. Changs. It was so much fun having a night out with the girls and I sure had fun trying to surprise Melanie.
