Racing

I am so proud of Dylan for getting the hole shot last weekend and not being afraid at all of his new fast bike. He ended up with a 4th place trophy and was very happy about it. There was snow on the ground, it was 36 degrees and very slippy. All things considered a 4th place was awesome. He is really very good. I hope that he continues to do well and likes it as much in the future as he does now. I am thankful that Jeremy has an outlet both in his racing and working on D's bike and helping him become a better rider. I am glad that he has something to look forward to. I can't imagine what we would do all of the time if we didn't race and go camping. Of course there would be more time for friends and relatives, but, do you all have anytime for us!? I feel like I am flying through the weeks and can't hardly get a grip on any one thing. But as I talk to my friends and family it seems we are all in the same boat. No matter what our "one thing" is, that "one thing" drives us and carries us day in and day out without any time to take a breath. As soon as the day begins it is time to make dinner and get the kids to bed again. Many people ask me if I like going to the races every weekend. I really do! I am excited by it, and I love cheering for our friends, too!

lazy sunday

I am so used to running around in circles or having a ton of show to watch on my DVR that I hardly know what to do when I have a free afternoon. Of course, I could be cleaning of my desk. But Since I have the laptop and I don't have to be in the office, hhaa, let it collect some dust. Jeremy and I tried to take Dylan somewhere this morning so he could ride his new dirtbike with his friend Josh. But after a few different locations didn't pan out to ride at, we went home and everyone took a nap.
It was a late night for everyone last night, well late for us! The kids stayed home with Nana and cousin Colby came over while Tom, Tracy, Jeremy & I went to the Dirtbike club Christmas Party. Funny to have a Christmas party in February, but with race schedules and other holiday gatherings it is easier to get everyone together now. We filled half of a really good restaurant in town. And though I didn't know half the people there, I felt myself in great company. Most of my friends that I am closest to these days were there. I have to say that they are all really awesome. If I haden't been so tired I could have stayed up all night talking and drinking with them. (I didn't have a hangover today, so it was probably good we left when we did) I am thankful for such great friends.
Next weekend the we have a race to go to. It is at one of the furthest locations. It take 4 1/2 hours to get there. The kids have friday and monday off so we won't have to rush to get there before dark friday night or rush back after Jeremy's race sunday. I am hoping to take some video of Dylan. I will depend on if it is pouring down rain, how nervous I am and how much of the course we can see. I'll post whatever I get. Wish us luck!
I hope eveyone is doing well. I'll try to blog more regularly, so everyone can keep up with our lives.
