Moto Sheets from Nationals!

Here are the moto sheets that are posted an hour before races start. Taters moto sheet is kinda blurry, cuz it looked like they had to tape it together so the tape kind of messed up the pic, but u can see what the sheets look like. They have the Childs name, age , rank, moto number, and gate numbers for all qualifying and main races.

Tater takes 5th !

What a day! We started practice at the track at 8am this morning and then races started right after. They ended at about 4p! At our local track in Chandler every fri nite, there are usually about 25-30 motos and races start to finish are about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. Today , there were 206 moto's..... Hence, our very long day! It was a blast though. Both kids were on fire, and were so fun to watch. Stockton had about 3x as many boys in his bracket than tater did.. And was in 4th place but crashes at finish line. He was almost more sore than sad, but raced such an awesome race! Way to go, bud! Tatum raced an awesome race too and placed 5th in the main! So she got her 1st BIG trophy with her name on it! Congrats baby girl ! Nothing makes parents prouder than to see their kids do so well, and enjoying what they are doing. I must say, tonite we are even prouder! This was a humongous race... People from all over our 50 states, so this was in accomplishment to even have been in the race to start with ! Hard work always pays off, and our kids have been training soo hard, and will continue to train hard as they have 2 more big races coming up , before November ... This time, out of State! Keep up the great work kiddos! We love you!

Good Ol' unusual AZ weather!

Hard to believe that it's August 1st and was only 87degrees out this afternoon. It's been stormy and super muggy out the last few days but we have taken advantage of the coolness and spent more time outside than norm. :) Quality brotherly/sisterly bonding.

From the OLDEST to the YOUNGEST!

Here are all 17 grandkids...in order by AGE...(obviously not height). :) Both our munchkins, poor things, are stunted for life we think. Good thing, they are good lookin'! Whew!
Here we go: Miranda (18), Marlee (16), Ryland (13), Daniel (11), Tatum (11), Brigg and Gunner (11), Stockton (10), Cooper (9), Erin (9), Ashlyn (9), Dane (7), Olivia (7), Bryson (5), Emery (3), Colter (2), and Kate (I believe 2- in a week and a 1/2....but not positive!) From about Olivia down, I know I'm close listing their ages, but hard to keep up with all those babies Sid keeps providing, from Las Vegas! :) So, sorry if I was a tad off on ages...but I know I'm close! :) Cute Cute Cuzzins!

Just a few tiny snapshots.....

I have never EVER known California could be so gosh darn cold! Holy cow! The day after we got home, from the week in Marina del Rey and Venice, there was an article stating that it had BROKEN an ALL-TIME RECORD for the Lowest temp EVER, in L.A. and beach cities. I will post some cute videos soon. All the kids and even Brad and Brian even got in that frigid water with the kids...jumping the waves, boogie boarding... wow! Can you say nuts? I video'd, and was wishin' my toes were dug into the nice warm sand, while I captured every shivering kodak moment! Sweatshirts in July? Amazing. It was a very refreshing change from our 110-114 degree days here in Gilbert, so all in all was fabulous! Most other pics are on my video, so I will post the other family pics soon.

Cutest BABES on Venice Beach!

Santa Monica and Venice Beach!

It was freezing cold so our cute matching family beach picture kinda flopped but we took one anyway! I have the BIG family pic on my camera , not my phone so will have to blog it once we get home. Was a weird beach trip, being soooo cold but was a refreshing break from our 113 degree good ol' AZ weather!
