BMX, BMX, BMX! 2023

Our BMX season was supposed to start mid March but it rained and rained so our first race was a state qualifier in Hampton. This was the first race we did as a team since joining Send It.  It was nice to have everyone to cook and hang out with.  
I think the kids liked playing in the dirt with their mini bikes more than racing haha
Josh was excited to use the new awning! 
After that we went back to most of our weeks being spent at the track.  It was a very cool spring so that was nice.  Our next big race was the state qualifier at our track. When we first started this sport we sat on the other side by the finish line where no one else sat so when Josh got back from deployment and saw that we have a crowd over there he blamed me for making too many friends😂😂  we really have an awesome bmx family! 
Here are some pics of the boys taken by the track operators wife. 
We had an awesome day of BMX! Jack took first in the state qualifier! He was so far ahead of the kid in second, I bet he'll be moving up soon! Kaleb made it straight to mains in his first race then went down during in the last race,  but he got back up and finished the race giving everyone an air show with some tricks lol
I love this sport and the people we've met along the way!

The boys had a clinic with Cutter Williams and at the end he had them all go to the front gate so I thought this was my perfect shot at riding the track without anyone watching.  I got Jack's helmet and bike and took off.  It was a lot scarier than I expected and I rode my breaks most of the time and didn't realize how steep the hill out of the 3rd turn was so when I got there I had to pedal to make it up it but at the top I had to stop and catch my breath and that's when I fell over😂
I'm so glad no one saw!  
After asking Kenny for over a year to come and try BMX we finally got him to come! He had so much fun and plans on racing! I love that these guys do everything together! 
One day we got to the track to race and Jack had to wear his Carhartts because he had left his race pants in the dirt bike trailer.  When we were walking in he told me that he hates racing in this pants cause the legs flap and it gets stuck on one side, so he decided to zip tie them.  Lol
I love that he solves the problem and doesn't care if someone might laugh at him! 


Kenny raced his first race and loved it! He took 1st!

July 30 - Aug 5 Alturas Lake Idaho.

6 months ago Josh text his family and gave them dates that we would be camping in Idaho and 31 of them made it! Josh has always told me of all the places he traveled, Alturas Lake is his favorite! We spent 5 days in the mountains without cell service, electric, and water because the campground didn't have any open sites. I was nervous at first but once we got the bikes unloaded we were able to take them to the campground and use the bathroom and get water.  Aunt Carrie always makes sure to play games with Kaleb!  Grandpa Randy Jones Grandma Sandy Jones Jack and Zach  Trent had only been home 4 days from his mission in Canada before coming camping. ❤️ Trent and Saige  This was the first time we didn't have a boat with us so Josh spent the week trying to make friends with people hoping that he would get a tow. There were two families in particular tha...

4-1 The ski hill that Josh grew up going to is still open but only on weekends, so they hiked to the top of it and made their own jumps.  The boys were not impressed with the journey getting up there but had so much fun once the work was done!  4-4 Our nephew Zach works at a zoo in Twin Falls so we went and saw him.  This is the perfect job for him! He's so knowledgeable about all the animals and you can see how much he loves what he does. We enjoyed our visit.  4-5 I took the boys to a skate park in Burley today and Kaleb had a pretty bad crash and we ended up in Urgent Care.   Good thing he can still play his oculus while he's recovering! 😂😂 4-6 They went back to Pomerelle on Saturday to snowboard.  The boys were so excited that they got to ride the lifts this time.  Haha ...

I guess the fall is wedding season now because we had 2 in 2 weekends.  Josh and I were able to celebrate Roman and Teresa's wedding with them and a lot of our neighbors! The day was beautiful and we love their family so much!  Josh left the next day for Nevada for 6 weeks and missed Steph and Kenny's annual birthday party! I love that we celebrate the grown ups birthdays with the kids!  Our BMX team planned a day to go to a new skate park and when we got there there was an event going on that none of us knew about so it was so crowded.  Jack doesn't have a park bike so he brought a skateboard and I was so proud of him for just getting out there and trying even though there were so many people.  He really is growing up!  Then he took his mountain bike out there and had fun with the other kids on bikes Kaleb On Oct 21st we had t...
