Knitting and Motorcycles

I started a post a few days ago on Ravlery about knitters who ride bikes. There are a ton who responded! There is even a group called Leather and Lace that is specifically for biker knitters. Hee, how cool is that?

In all my dorky glory here's a biker knitter. =)

In other news my sweet Bella is walking! It only took her 14 months, but she's got it! She walks more often then crawling and I can't tell you how excited I am. She seems to be on a much more mellow growth pattern then her brother and it's pretty neat. I love going through this all again, seeing your baby do something so new and exciting is beyond wonderful. I'm so proud of you my little Bellaboo.  ( This is after a long road trip to Phoenix, she's looking for her new outfit in this pic!)

Snow Day!

We went up into the Sandia mountains near Placitas for a a snow day. The kids haven't really had a chance to play in the snow and now that we live in Rio Rancho we don't get much snow at all. Levi had a great time, I froze my butt off, Bella slept through it all and Mathias made yellow snow. Yes, I took a pic, no I won't show you! =P

I did get a really neat picture of funky blue bird. I'm not really sure what species it is. My best guess is some sort of Jay? Hmm, not even google really had an idea, oh well he was pretty!

My SIL Olivia and her H Casey went with us too, they had a great time having a snowball fight with Mathias. I just stayed out of the way and took pics, snow in the face is not my idea of a good time.

Miss Bella was super tired and just slept away in the jeep we were close by and after a bit I joined her.

We didn't stay too long it really was cold up there but it was fun! I'm glad winter only comes once a year!

I have few projects going on the knitting department. A scarf for my sweet aunt in law and a some hand warmers for my friend Chris. I'm going to cast on for the Raspberry Wheat Ale Messenger bag from Pints & Purls.
