USA BMX Battlefield Nationals!

June 9-11 our local track was chosen to host the Battlefield National, this was a big deal so we spent weeks volunteering and preparing.  We planted bushes, put a fresh coat of slurry on the track, painted things that needed touched up, and the biggest project was the covering the men built over the staging area! It's going to be so nice for the kids to stand in the shade before racing instead of the hot sun! We really do have a great team of volunteers! 
Friday's races went well.  Kaleb was mad because he messed up in the gate and got second.  Jack got 1st. I spent most of my weekend in merchandise sales but was able to watch the boys.  

Saturday went then same except Kaleb had the great races.  He still placed second because more kids were there but he was happy cause he knew he had done his best! 

Getting serious 
Josh and Holly making sure everything runs smoothly! Lol
Kaleb and Knox waiting for their moto
The 2023 Send It Racing team! 
Saturday was Jack's 10th win which means he moves up from a novice to intermediate. The announcer congratulated him over the loud speaker.  was so excited! 
When I pulled in Saturday morning I thought I hit a hole until Josh text me this pic asking if I've been pa l driving long 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now, this is the worst part of the weekend... to I can usually sign up for a race the day of but with Sundays at Nationals you have to sign up before the end of racing Saturday.  Well, I had been working so much that weekend I completely forgot! We were hanging out at the team tent and I realized the races had ended.  Holly and I ran to the truck but they were leaving and said they had already sent the sheets in.  I literally went by my car, slid down to the ground and cried.  I felt terrible! Josh told the boys and they were not happy. They didn't say anything to me but if looks could kill I would be dead.  

Later that night Kaleb did come to my room and tell me "Mom, it's OK that you didn't sign us up." That made me feel a little better but I just geek out like crap the rest of the night then still had to get up early and go to the track for my volunteer shifts lol

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...
