Busy weekend. Saturday Jake had baseball practice in the morning and had a race that afternoon. He did pretty well for his first race on his new bike and in the 7-9 year old class. When we got home that evening we had a Valentine's day party with some friends at our house. The weather has been great, you can't complain about low 80's in February.

This Saturday Jake and I went to Supercross. Tyler is not quite ready to make it through a whole night of watching motorcycles so he and Kristin went on a date to Red Robin. I've been taking Tyler to our park to get him used to his gas motorcycle. It won't be long till he is out on the track with Jake.

 I was in charge of dinner one night last week,
 so we went to McDonalds.

I'm back from a quick work trip. I took Tyler to get his finger x-rayed again and it's healing nicely. He was a big hit with all the nurses and he's not shy about asking for a lollypop. I promised him a donut pop afterwards if he was brave. Took Jake to the track Saturday. He cleared a, at least 15 ft table top jump for the first time. I was videoing him when he did it and it startled me that I almost dropped the camera.

Tyler's finger is doing much better. I was a fun week of changing bandages every night though. We had awesome weather this weekend. Sunny and 70's. The boys went to a friend's birthday party on Saturday. It was Star Wars Themed so the boys had fun with the light saber battles. Sunday we had soccer in the morning then Jake and I went to the batting cages. Baseball practice starts Wednesday.

Tyler and his 3-legged race partner. They were the youngest in the race and they won! They were slow, careful and didn't fall like all the older kids. Too cute.

  I sent in Jake's picture to Fox during this weekend's super-cross race and they picked it to show on TV.

Sorry I missed last week, but it was rainy and we didn't do much. Last Friday Jake and I had a fun day skiing. It amazes me how quick he picks up almost anything that involves balance and coordination. His favorite thing now is skiing over the jumps. Both boys and I went to camp and ride motorcycles in the desert with some friends. It was going pretty good until Ty got his finger smashed by a rock. We quickly packed up and headed home. Kristin got to sit with him for 3 hours in urgent care. He fractured his finger tip and lost his finger nail. It hasn't slowed him down much, although he uses it to play the sympathy card when he wants something.

  Jake at the Poway winter festival. Tyler didn't get to go because he bit... yes I said bit, his teacher 2 days... yes I said 2 days, in a row.

 Lunch with Mommy at Jakes school

  Our neighbor works for Red Bull and found out what a big fan of Ryan Dungey Jake is, so he brought him this huge cardboard cutout of his favorite racer to put in his room.

Mommy got Tyler his all time favorite, donut pops.

I planned to take more pictures, but our trip got cut a little short

 Doesn't stop him from getting his thumb in his mouth.
