Vegas Baby!

Everyone, I would like you to meet my new Yamaha dirt bike. Dirt bike, meet EVERYONE!Ryan and I decided to get me a bike this year. We found a few really good options in Vegas and were headed there to find her. This is the one. Its actually the first one we looked at and it turned out she is Brand Spankin' New! A 2007 Yamaha TTR 230. We have been looking for my bike for quite some time and when we decided to go to St. George it occurred to us there might be bikes nearby, even though there was nothing listed in Utah. So we took a chance and I am so HAPPY! She hasn't even been ridden 2 whole miles yet.

The original owner thought she would love riding, bought it and rolled her off the showroom floor only to realize she didn't like it at all. She has had it for some time now and was quite ready to sell it to me. I can't even explain how beautiful she is, these pictures do no justice!

Apparently St George isn't that close to Las Vegas either. We hadn't realized how far Las Vegas really was until we got there. That's when we realized there was no time to play or to stop in the city. We did stop at a park so the boys could play and then we headed back to St. George for a second night before we headed home.

Something that Nevadians have learned that Utahan's need to pick up is that parks should be, and ARE shaded. They actually build shade as part of the playground.We hit the swimming pool again once we were back in St. George and we stared at my bike. After we were able to put Paxton and Taz to sleep we snuck out and sat on it in the parking lot. I love it!! We headed home the next morning to realize again, we need another vacation!Here are some shots of Paxton and myself in our gear. Ryan was so cute! When we decided to get the bike he headed straight down to Rocky Mountain to find me the rest of my gear. I had my Helmet and boots so he got me some goggles, gloves, my jersey and pants. I guess I am all set!

Here are some pictures of Paxton and myself in our gear. I have to add that Paxton is pretty excited that I have my motorcycle. At night we actually catch him looking through our motorcycle magazine and he chooses what he still needs to have the complete gear which will ultimately make him motorcycle man. Ryan loves it!
