Jake had another race earlier in the month. He did well but his bearing went out on his rear wheel. Luckily his friend Hunter let Jake use his spare bike for the last race. We flew to Idaho to celebrate Grandma Gretchen’s 80^th birthday with her and the cousins. The boys went with their cousins to a Washing State football game.

Slacking on the Blog again. In early October we celebrated Dungey’s 9^th birthday (for real this time, we accidently aged him by a year for the few years). Jake had a race also at the beginning of the month. I went on a 3-week work trip back to Sicily. Tyler’s football team did not make it too far in the play offs, but he’s has already started Rugby workouts. Jake finished up his season with JV but will join the Varsity team for the playoffs. Tyler dressd up as a cop for Halloween.

Jake had a bye week from football. Pics below are from last week. We took advantage and got in a camping trip to the beach. Tyler had a game, but we went back to the beach afterwards. Unfortunately, it was too cold to swim, but it was relaxing.

Our biannual family pictures. The boys know now that the more they cooperate, the faster it goes. Dungey is the wildcard these days.

 More Football

Crazy hot this week/weekend, up to 105. Jake’s team won their first game of the season Friday night. Luckily the clouds helped get the temp down. Not the same luck for Tyler’s second game of the season in the middle of the day on Saturday. Then Jake raced up at Pala on Sunday where it topped out at 107. We took the trailer and stayed in it with the A/C on between motos.
