Rapid City Arena Cross

JANUARY 10th, 2009

Jace and Brayden go new dirt bikes this year. Brett thought they needed a new one because KTM changed their mini's for '09. They are completely different than their other ones. They look like the big KTM's and have more power. Jace already got his new one, but Brayden's hasn't come in yet. He's bummed! Hopefully it will be here for the next race.

This is Jace on his new bike. He took it out in practice and it was sooo not broke in! This was really the first time that he had ever rode it because when he got it there was too much snow to go and ride it so he just took it up the street a couple of times. After practice, Brett told him that he had to race his old bike. Jace was ok with that!

This is Brayden in practice. Still on his old bike for now. Oh well. His will be here soon. Then we have to pay for it! YUCK!!

This is 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the Pee Wee Open class. Jace got beat BARELY!!

NEXT TIME!!

Bridger wanted to jump in with these guys too! Brayden got 1st in the Pee Wee 4-6.

Bridger holding up Jace's 7th place trophy in the 65 7-9 class. He was in 4th and then ran into a bale and lost some positions. But he rode awesome!!

We race again on Valentine's Day!

Winter Fishing

Our boys love to go fishing. When they are not racing or riding their dirt bikes they are fishing. So they were bummed out when the ponds started to freeze. We told them that they could go ice fishing and they got really excited and wanted to go! So Brett and his friend Shane took the boys fishing at Osage Pond. Luckily, part of the pond was not frozen and they caught a bunch of bass. BIG BASS!

This is Shane and the boys with their catch of the day!

Bridger holding Shane's BIG BASS! (it was 5 pounds)

Brayden and Shane's bass.

This is Brayden's big bass that he caught all by himself!

They had fun fishing and have gone back many times. But they can't wait until Keyhole fishing. It's the best!

Jace's Record Bubble

We were on our way to a race in Rapid City and Jace got bored. It's not usually a good thing when Jace gets bored. (He usually fights with his brothers.) But this time he tried to see how big of a bubble he could blow with his gum. I am not really sure how many pieces of gum he had in his mouth, but I know there was a lot! He told me three, but I think about 6!

I wish I would have gotten a picture of it when it popped, but I'm sure you could imagine! He kept trying to get it bigger than this one, but all his other bubbles were a lot smaller. I'm just glad that he was entertaining himself!
