The race was last weekend in Globe. We had so much fun and the boys did great! The funniest thing happened, it is funny now because no one got hurt. Right before the kids race, they have a practice lap so the kids have a feel for what they are going to be doing. Well, at the beginning of the race they have to go down this little hill and turn pretty soon after they start (no big deal if there wasn't so many kids in the race). So, Jacob and Riley take off and Jacob is in front going down the hill. At the end of the turn I see Riley catching up to Jacob and he is about to run into him. Riley doesn't get stopped soon enough and he hits Jacob's bike. Jacob keeps going and I see Riley get up and start running (I mean booking it down this hill as fast as he can go). I am looking around because I don't see Riley's bike anywhere. I look at Jacob and Riley's bike is stuck on Jacob's bike, Jacob is pulling it behind him. It was so crazy and funny. I really wish I had a video camera at that time because it is probably one of those have to see things. So, as this is going on the announcer is like, "Is that the brothers". I am just glad that he ran into his brother and not some other kid.
The one thing I did not like about the race is that there were so many kids racing at the same time. I know that made Jacob really nerves since it was their very first race. But, they did great and they had a ton of fun and they both said they want to do it again. Probably because they got trophies just for riding and medals for finishing. Jacob got 11th place in his group and Riley got 5th place in his. They did great and I am so proud of them. 
Riley is the one on the right, #45.
Jacob is #70 going down the hill.
This is right after the race when they got their medals.
With dad back at camp.
The trophies that are almost as big as they are.
Chris also raced. This is the enduro cross section that they had to go through. It looks scary to me. Chris is the one on the left, in the black.
Chris also did great in his race. He got 4th place in his class. He just keeps getting better.
Great job to all my boys!!!
I love Garrett's face in this one, even if you can only see part of it.
The other cool thing about the wedding was that all 5 of my roommates from my freshman year at Ricks were there. It was so great seeing all of them and talking about what they are up to. So much fun!!!
Parker looks like a little marshmallow and he had a hard time walking. It was kind of funny.
This is the first hill we went down. It wasn't long enough, so we had to move on.
This is the hill we ended on, not very steep but much longer.
And there was a jump at the end. How fun is that!
Parker even liked it.
Chris chillin on the lift.
The jumping castle was almost as big as the house.
Parker loved every minute in the jumping castle. The beach balls made it even more fun!
Who gets their very own carnival in their front yard? How great is this!
Catherine and Nic making the cotton candy. There was cotton candy all over the place. Thanks again you guys for all the fun. We love and miss you guys all ready. The boys already asked if we can go back to your house next weekend. Too bad the drive is so long.
We always open pajamas on Christmas Eve.
Making cookies for Santa. Do you think he got sick from all the sprinkles?
The only thing the boys wanted for Christmas was a Wii. So, that is all they got. They were really excited.
Parker wasn't feeling well. He didn't want to open any presents. Then he got a pack of 4 different balls and he couldn't let go of them.
The whole crazy family. It's amazing that we got one with everyone looking.
All the girls.
All the boys.
