Rock Hill BMX Nationals! March 2023

Last year we only did local races and 1 state race so the boys didn't qualify for a state plate. This year they wanted to get a bit more serious and do the state series and a few Nationals. Their first one was in Rock Hill, SC. We raced all 3 days and it was fun but an eye opener.  This track was the biggest they had ever raced on and the Hill at the gate was so steep it was intimidating.  This was Kaleb's first race since breaking his wrist and I was nervous but he got right back out there.  
The first day was good but so long.  We didn't get too the hotel until 1am and had to be back at 8:00am the next morning. Jack raced 13 Novice, he made it to mains but came in 4th. Kaleb raced 11 Intermediate and there were 28 kids.  That's 4 gates that they had to get down to 1. He made it to quarter finals.  That age group is something fierce.  This was an eye opener  for him because he doesn't have much competition at home.  
Day two was so cold and went about the same.  Kaleb made it to quarters and Jack made it to mains but crashed with another kid at the bottom of the hill.  
That was his first crash so we were nervous he wouldn't want to race the next day. He was hesitant but he did and I'm so glad because he took 2nd and had his number 1 fan watching him 🥰



Battle Bruises! 😂😂

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...
