I though the boys and I would have a fun weekend at the track, but my truck alternator went out on the way up Friday night. The battery lasted to right as we pulled in off the road and died as we were going up a steep hill to park in the dark. I was able to borrow our trailer battery to get the truck running again and up to the parking spot. I spent all day Saturday tearing my truck apart to get to the alternator and get it out. Luckily, we met Jake & Tyler’s riding buddy’s there and I was able to borrowed their Dad’s truck to go into town and get a new alternator, also Joe was a huge help getting it swapped out. We got it fixed and had fun riding today. Jake raced yesterday and had a couple minor slide-outs but still placed 3rd in both his classes. He was really ripping.

Tyler wanted to share pictures from our camping trip with his class at school and asked me to make a slideshow with some “fun facts” about the stuff he saw. It’s amazing for an 8 year old to ask to stand up in front of his class and give a presentation. His teacher said he did great and was really funny. With his confidence and personality, it will be fun to see what Tyler does in life.

We had a great trip to Yosemite and the Sequoia National Forest, but after 7 days in the trailer and over 1,000 miles in the truck we all are glad to be home.

Kristin is on her way back from a business trip and then we are off on our family camping trip to Yosemite. This week I was able to have lunch with Tyler at school.

These boys live the life! Friday Jake went to a school friends going away party at the trampoline warehouse and In-n-Out, then he brought another school friend back to our house to ride bikes with other neighborhood kids and Tyler. Saturday morning, they meet friends at the skate park to ride scooters and then we made homemade pizza for dinner. Sunday Jake raced with his buddy Masson. He did awesome!! He got 1st place over all in his two 85 classes and got a couple 1st place moto’s with a sweet hole shot on one. I thought it would take him a while to get used to his big 85, but he looks more comfortable on it than his much smaller 65. Kristin is off tomorrow for another week of work travel. The boys were great last week and have been really helpful while she is gone.
