Jellyfish

So during our stop in Cabo, Ty got stung by a Jellyfish. He was pretty upset when it happened so we went to the people working at the Sand Bar where we were eating to ask them for some help. They fetched some white vinegar real quick and poured that onto where Ty got stung. Our other option was to pee on it, and we weren't real sure about that whole idea. So here is what his knee looked like after a few minutes.

Needless to say, Ty is not jumping at the chance to go snorkeling again. That jellyfish sent him the message to stay out of his territory.

Mexico

Eric just kicking it poolside.

Ty and McKenna in Mazatlan

So we got back from our cruise to Mexico, a week ago Saturday, and boy was it a good time. We spent time in the sun, just relaxing and making memories. We all came home with an amazing tan, and tons of pictures to help us remember that week for a long time. We went to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. The water there is amazing, it was so neat to see the kids play in an ocean that wasn't ice cold. They played for hours at the beach. It was a fantastic vacation, too bad it went by so fast.

Rad Racing - Look out Cru Jones!

Got to take a little break for some crackers.

These are pretty good, you sure can work up an appetite riding around this track.

So McKenna got the racing bug too. She is so passionate about racing, it's just adorable. She is usually the only girl in her 5 and under class, and often one of the only four year olds. She makes us so proud and she is truly a joy to watch out on the track. She has only been racing for about 6 weeks, and already has 5 trophies. She improves every time she goes to the track. Way to go McKenna!

Race Day

Ok Riders, lets set 'em up.

Riders Ready

Watch the light

So Ty got his final 1st place trophy as a novice rider today. He moves up to the intermediate class now. He made it to intermediate in less than 3 months. That's 8 first place finishes in less than 12 weeks. Way to go Ty. We are so proud of him.

Street Riding

Well so everyday the kids spend hours outside riding their bikes. If kids could have an addiction, then this is the one our kids have. Ty is riding his practice bike in these pics (per his sponsor, his race bike is for racing only - hehe) and McKenna is on her steal of a bike that we got for her off Craigslist. So here are the pics I took of them jumping and Ty trying out his newly learned manual.

Just Goofin

So I got my new camera on Wednesday, and it didn't take long for the kids to start acting silly in front of the camera. So here are a few of the pictures we took while mom learned about her camera (from dad really, cuz he reads the instructions and then tells me what to do.....i love him).

Breast Cancer Tribute

This is for my Aunt Brenda, who passed away recently after a long courageous battle with Breast Cancer. We MUST find a cure. I love you and miss you already Aunt Brenda.
