Boys are doing great! Tyler is kicking butt in Spanish and having fun with Rugby practice. We camped this weekend at the racetrack. Tyler and I got some riding in, and Jake raced his last race with Moto4kids as he ages out next month when he turns 18. He has raced with them since he was 13. Time flies ☹

Turns out Tyler is pretty good at poker!

Boys being boys

Life is awesome! Tyler got straight A’s his first trimester of high school, including Spanish 3!! Then he received the "Coaches Award" at his football banquet. He was one of only a few of his teammates to be specially recognized. His was for his consistent hard work and positive attitude. He has also started Rugby practice for the upcoming season and is doing a great job helping his teammates who are new to Rugby. We are incredibly proud of him!!!

Jake’s team won their first game in the playoff rounds but lost the second in a close game against the #1 seeded team. His last two games of football were all that we could ever hope for. He started, made lots of tackles, caught two kickoffs and recovered an opponent fumble to try and rally his team in the last half of what ended up being his final game. Both games were very close and fun to be a part of. We are extremely proud of the man that he has become, and football had a big part in shaping him.

Life is going fantastic. Tyler’s and his team finished up the season with a win over their rivals. Aunt Kelly and Grandma Gretchen came down to watch both boys play and to be a part of Jake’s senior night. They boys had fun on Halloween hanging out with their friends. Jake raced well last weekend and this weekend.
