Long racing weekend. Jake had a race Saturday evening and Sunday. He did great! 2nd and 2nd on Saturday and rode the last race of the other series on Sunday finishing 1st in both his classes. Luckily we don't have any more races for a few weeks because I'm dirt biked out for a little while! Unfortunately Kristin is on another work trip this week.
 Walking the track with his race buddy Mason.


Seems like all Tyler did this weekend was sleep. He was tired when he got out of the bath, he just laid down on the floor naked and wrapped up in his wet towel.

The boys had a nice spring break and are not exactly thrilled to be going back to school tomorrow. I've enjoyed the reprieve from baseball/tee ball for a week.

Jake had a game on Saturday. I keep the official score book at about half of Jake's games and I got Tyler an extra one so he can keep score with me. He loves it, although I'm not sure what he puts in his score book is really representative of the actual game.

Both boys raced today. There were a ton of kids racing. On Jake's first moto he didn't get a great start and got buried at 8th in the middle of 16 riders. His tenacity was incredible, working his way up through the pack with some great block passes, getting up to 3rd just after the first lap. He reeled in the next rider and made the pass to get 2nd on the last lap. He ended up with 2nd in his class and 3rd in the open class overall.

Tyler rode in the first-timer class. He does a lot more sight-seeing than racing, but he had fun. I'm pretty sure politics is in his future. His favorite thing is going around and talking to people, eating their food and playing with their dogs. They broke the mold with that one!
Jake is the points leader in the series he is racing. In professional motocross the points leader is identified with a red number plate. I told him a long time ago if he ever got the points lead in a series I would get him a red plate... of course that is the thing he remembers.

Dungey has be absolutely awesome. He has only chewed one thing he wasn't suppose to until now when we left some paper bags out.

Finally a nice relaxing weekend. No baseball, no tee-ball, no racing. It was a little rainy so we just relaxed inside. It was Awesome!
 I made a stand for Jake's motocross trophies. In hindsight I probably should have made it bigger.

 Playing some video games on a relaxing rainy weekend.

Dungey is getting big!

Another busy weekend. We went to the schools country fair on Friday after school. We had baseball pretty much all day Saturday, which looks like will be the norm for us until mid May. Jake's team is starting to really come together. They came back from losing 5-0 in the first inning to winning 5-6 in the bottom of the sixth. Even most of the boys on Tyler's team are starting to figure out tee-ball. Tyler did awesome over the weekend. He stopped every ball that came near him and hit 3 legit doubles. Jake had a race today and won all four of his moto's to win both classes. He moved up to the points leader for this series. I told him a while back if he ever got the points lead I'd get him a red number plate and of course he didn't forget that!

 His first game ball! This pic and the look on his face are priceless!
