Tour de Cure 2007

100 miles from Chesapeake, VA to Manteo, NC. Here we are on our way. Look who's leading the pack. Actually, the team let me ride in front because they new Tiffany was up ahead taking photos. The ride was a great success. The weather was beautiful and the team was great. All of us rode together the entire way. We left Hickory High School at 8:00 am and arrived in Manteo at about 2:30 pm. The average speed for the ride was 18.4 mph. Not too shabby!!

I'm halfway there!

At the half way point, I met up with my lovely wife and beautiful daughter for a box lunch and a little break. Here I am with Kathie. She was excited to watch her Daddie ride his bike.

Back on the Road

After a well needed rest and bite to eat, we were back on the road. How many more miles are left?

Team BikeBeat

Finished at last!!! Team BikeBeat poses for a post ride photo. The entire team started and finished together!!

Rob, Kathie and I just came back from eating out at the Texas Steakhouse!
Our neighbors gave us a gift certificate for watching their 2 dogs.
It was delicious!!!

Bubbles!!!


Kathie loves her Gymboree bubbles!
They are really sticky and they float pretty slowly!
So she gets lots of play time out of them!

Buddy loves his new companion, Belle!


We have two crates for them, but they only want to sleep in the same one.
They are so cute! Since we have gotten Belle, Buddy has calmed down a lot!
You can tell that they love the companionship of each other!

Kathie, The Small Scientist!


Kathie loves to mix food coloring in cups. She loves to see the color changes!!!

We just love her so!

Mommy & Kathie


Kathie is so beautiful and she has such a fun personality!!! I love being her mom.

Kathie & Daddie


It's so neat to watch Kathie and Rob interact. They adore each other so much!!!

We're So in Love!


We've been married for over 6 1/2 years and our love has just grown stronger and stronger! It is only because of God! Like in the gospels at the wedding, how they run out of wine and Jesus turns the water into wine and actually saves the best for last! He just keeps turning our water into wine! And helps us in our times of need--good or bad! So, anyways, I love you Rob more than you'll ever know! Love, Tiff :)

Kathie & Daddie Playin' Guitar!!!


We think Kathie will probably play some type of stringed instrument when she gets older! :)

Kathie is exhausted from playing all that guitar! :)


She's a natural musician!

Anthony & Kathie


Anthony and Kathie are best buds too.
They love playing with bubbles.
We watch Anthony and his sister, Brooke, usually on Tuesdays.
It is lots of fun for Kathie and the kids!!!

Kathie, Daddie, & Kaydin in our tree!


It was beautiful outside recently.
Then the weather went back down--chilly.
We can't wait to be in the pool, playing outside lots soon!!! :)

Kat & Kay


The girls really enjoy painting and any type of arts & crafts!

Kathie & Kaydin


We have been watching Kaydin off and on and it has been lots of fun! Kathie and her are best little buddies!
