Tanner Jeans Bike Rodeo 2007

The Tanner Jeans Bike Rodeo was held today. Kids from Snoqualmie came out to get training from police officers on bike safety. The turn out was great and by all accounts everyone had a great time. Here are the photos...

Long Time Gone

I have been away from this blog for a long time but I am back and I plan to make updates much more frequently. Here's the highlights since the last time that I posted:

1. Ivy Arrives! On June 25th 2006 at 11:15 AM we welcomed Ivy Haliday Simon to our family. Jennifer and I feel so blessed to have such a beautiful little girl. For me, It has been fantastic to experience being a father to such wonderful child. She is growing fast! She will be turning 1 year old in just a 2 weeks. More Ivy Pictures.
   
2. New House on Snoqualmie Ridge. In December 2005 we moved from our home in Kirkland, WA to Snoqualmie, WA. We were lucky enough to find a home prior to construction, so we were able to participate in the process of picking materials, etc. The house has been a great change considering that Jennifer's parents and her brother's family are also in the neighborhood (Built in babysitters!).
   
3. Crystal gets hitched. Yes, it's true my little baby sister is married. The ceremony was held in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic on May 12, 2007. We had lots of fun at the resort, most people arrived at least a few days early for some fun in the sun. About 25 friends and family attended the wedding. The reception was on a catamaran while we were serenaded by a local band. I am so happy to have a new brother-in-law but most of all it's great to see Crystal so happy. Welcome to the family JB!

4. Baby No. 2 on the way. 3 Months ago we found out that baby No. 2 is on the way! Jennifer and I are so happy that Ivy will be a big sister. With the 2 kids only 15 months apart, they will have a close relationship. We can't wait!
