Kind of a mellow weekend which was very welcome from our busy last week. The boys had sports Saturday morning. Jake is kids of a bruiser when it comes to soccer. He just bowls kids over going for the ball. I had to tell him to make sure he stops and helps people up if he makes someone fall down. The coach tossed some pitches to Tyler and he hit just about every one, which is surprising since I mostly just practice the tee with him. He starts tee-ball at the beginning of next month. Today I took the boys to the skate park. Tyler is definitely getting braver dropping in. Jake is fearless as per usual.

Sorry, I'm catching up from last week and just getting over a cold. The boys had a great visit with Pap-Pap and Miss Alice. We went to the Safari Park, U.S.S Midway museum and watched Jake's race. They left Sunny San Diego for a blizzard back in Maryland!

 That's a big kitty. Glad for the glass there!

 Jake's awards ceremony for last seasons race series. He got 1st in his class and 2nd in the open class. He needed Tyler to help carry his trophies.

Jake got tested and is doing better. We are very proud of his achievement!

We all had a great time at Supercross. Jake had the experience of a lifetime. He got to meet his hero Ryan Dungy and got basically treated like a real Supercross racer for a day. The next morning he asked us if he was dreaming that he really got to be in Supercross?

 Even the stand had his name on it!

 He'll appreciate this pic when he is older!

 Ready for practice!

 The whoops were crazy steep and tall!

We all survived the first week back to school/work after Christmas vacation. Kirstin is back from her work trip. Jake had baseball try-outs Saturday and did very well. We are looking forward to Grandpa coming to visit this week and really excited for Jake to get to spend the day at Supercross next weekend.
