14.5 weeks along... Many more to go....

Well, there is no pretty way of showing off your growing body, but I thought that some of you would like to see what happens to your belly/body as the weeks go on (some of you would like to just look back and remember/laugh). This is my belly at 14.5 weeks. The way I feel, it should be a little bigger. Things are starting to move in there. Supposedly this little person is starting to stretch out.

Nothing to exciting.

Sorry for not blogging lately, but no news is good news. Things are going good. We have not started any decorating or preparing yet. We have about a month and a half before we go to the big doctors appointment where we can find out the sex of the baby and get the newest ultrasound photos. Today I am 14.5 weeks along. As soon as we get some photos taken I will post them. I hope everyone is doing well.

The Whitesides are getting a new Mountain Bike

Well, our garage is turning into a bike store, but the good news is we still have room for one more bike. This bike will not be one we have had before, but it will be a smaller version for our newest family member joining our family in April. That is right, we are going to welcome baby Whiteside in early April. John and I are very excited. The first two months have been a little rough only because it has changed my workout regimen and my food intake. Other then that, everything has been going great. Stay tuned for updates on Baby Whiteside and Family.

As of September 24th, we are 12.5 weeks along. Only 6 months to go.

More Photos...

Mammoth... No snow, but plenty of Dirt.

After the downieville race, we felt bad for our bikes, so we took them to Mammoth for some fun downhill. Instead of climbing up the hill, we took a gondola up and let the loose downhill. A whole different adventure for our endurance, but every once in awhile you need to just go downhill. I would strongly suggest Mammoth in the summer. We stayed in a wonderful village meet great people and enjoyed the weather without parkas. Here our a few photos of Mammoth and of course more Mt. Biking.

The Whiteside"s are back!!!!

WOW... The hardest thing I have ever done in my life. The Downieville classic is a 29 mile cross country mountain bike race that features an eight mile climb straight up hill followed by 21 miles of downhill, some more uphill, boulders, drops, more drops, narrow trails (with cliffs on the side), bridge crossings, water crossings and a few helicopters to pick up those riders who adventured off the side of the cliffs.

This is the first adventure that John and I completed on our two week road trip. The best part about this race is that John took 3rd place and I survived. Here are a few photos from the race and the beautiful town of Downieville, population 100. The rest of the photos are from the rest of our adventure.
