Seattle Supercross

Baseball season has begun. The boys have four games this week. They LOVE it. We are going to the batting cages after school today. They both could play baseball for hours. Must take after their dad. Here are some pictures from the game yesterday. It was 81 degrees & beautiful. Chris had hs baseball practice at one of the fields where Trent played & came over to talk to Kelcey. He started to throw the baseball to Trevor - Trevor stopped throwing after a minute & then said to Chris "I like playing with my Dad better!". Chris was broken hearted. He always wanted a little bro - but only got to big a big bro for a couple of minutes. It was funny! Poor Chris.

Kelcey - Thanks G&G Lund for the b-day present!!!


Trevor was snacking all during the game.


Both girls could not move - they were so stiff from two soccer games on Sat. It was pretty funny watching Jacy try to walk down the stadium seats.


Steve is always doing his best to get to the kids activities. He sure is a great dad!
Beautiful warm spring day! Just finished mowing the grass, weed eating, power washing all the windows & porches - my hair looks like it had a rough day!


Trent is getting better & better at baseball. He has had two great coaches the last couple of years & here he is playing 2nd base. Great job Trent!


Cheesy grin for Jacy!



He eats & eats & eats - but is the skinniest kid on the team. He has way to much energy!

We had a really fun time in Seattle over the weekend. Saw our friends Landon & Amy in Redmond on Sat., went to the pits around 1 p.m. & then met Josh & Katie at the races. It was a sunny day in Seattle, no rain!! The boys had a blast at the races. The supercross races are in SLC next weekend & then Las Vegas the following weekend. It has been a really fun series to watch. The two top riders keep switching the #1 spot. Great weekend!



The pits & then Seattle in the background


Josh & Katie. They stayed in the same hotel as us - had a fun time visiting with them. We all went to Ikea & roamed the store! We are updating some more kid furniture & found some great deals at Ikea. What a fun, GREAT store!

There was a baseball game going on the same time as the races. Parking was out of control!!


It was a beautiful day.

Ryan Villapoto won the race that evening. He is from Washington, so it was a great race for him. He also was at Washogul last summer & won the first moto, but lost to Ryan Dungee the second moto. Ryan Dungee won the lites 250 race that evening also. These guys are amazing.

This is Mike Alessi. If you go to Youtube and type in his name - there are a lot of videos of his horrific crash last year. He led the main supercross race until he crashed, came in fourth. Don't know how these guys come back & race after crashing so hard!

Steve, Josh & Katie


There were so MANY
people in the pits trying to get signatures that day. Here is Ryan V. We hated his beard!

Chad Reed. He crashed in the first turn during the main supercross race. He was in the lead but now is behind Bubba. He also has been really sick - lost 15 lbs & cannot keep anything in him. There are two more races left, we'll see what happens.
Another fun race! We really want to go to Las Vegas - but that weekend is Kelcey's prom. Cannot miss that!! So maybe next year.
Gayla - received your e-mail, will try & get the pictures posted. Thanks for all the money & b-day cards for the kids & Steve. Hope you are recovered from SLC. We are very glad David had good news!! Love ya!
