"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Another Fun Motorbike Race

We got to go to Utah for another Motorbike race and it was so much fun! I could sit and watch motorbikes race all day, I just love it. I am pretty sure it is because I grew up with motorbikes, and my Dad and brothers were always watching motorbikes race on TV. I hate that they wreck and some are so dangerous, but it is fun to watch. The kids have a blast and they get more and more comfortable every time we go. Here are some pictures of our trip, motorbike season has just begun and I am so excited. Motorbike season is a lot better than hunting season!!! And if anyone can give me some pointers on taking pictures of moving motorbikes in a weird lighted arena it would be helpful because I am not very good at it, thanks.

I don’t know how many times the girls walked up and down this stairs, but it was a lot because they loved standing by the rail to watch.

DSC_0920My little red rider Kynzee, she did so good I was so proud of her. She learned to keep her feet up on the pegs after the first race (The first picture is the first race and the picture under it is the second race) She is so slow and steady, and hey she even got third place and got a trophy.      DSC_0960DSC_1075DSC_0930DSC_0972 Here is Kynzee riding and Maddy down by the gate cheering her on!DSC_0931

  And here is Maddy riding and Kynzee cheering her on, I love how good they are to each other!DSC_0942Miss pink Maddy riding that huge track! She looks so tiny clear down there.      DSC_0938

Maddy is a good little rider and she is getting more brave all the time, she loves it!!

And this is not good!!! Can you see Josh rolled in a ball on the ground and can you see his bike doing a wheely down the track straight up in the air? I am not sure what happened here, but Maddy got it on video and I got a picture, that bike pretty much jumped out from underneath him while he was doing a wheely. Crazy, crazy! And little Kenna saw it happen and she said “Daddy fell off his bike Momma”

But here is right after, he got back on his bike and started it up and kept going.

DSC_0947I am not sure I like these jumps. DSC_1060 Kenna very proud of her Daddy

DSC_1063 Daddy and the girls…I love this picture of them walking behind him, they look up to him so much, I hope he never lets them down.DSC_1064 Kenna and Jaxon doing what they can to stay busy.DSC_1066 DSC_1069  DSC_1072DSC_0875

And by the end of the night (both nights) this is what Kenna and Jaxon were doing, so tired from watching motorbikes all day, but they were so good for me!! Not a cry or a whine, just busy busy all day.DSC_0933DSC_0990DSC_0998

This is what is was doing when we left the arena and Maddy and Josh were riding their motorbikes to the car…can you see Maddy behind the huge snowflakes?

And there’s Josh behind those big snowflakes! (I am not a very good snowflake photographer)DSC_1001

And we can’t forget swimming in the hotel, always the fun part of our trips, even if it was at midnight both nights :) Hey it was a 24 hour pool and we got to sleep in until ten so it was great!!! We had a wonderful time and built lots of memories together!DSC_1008
