Summercross Race 7/17 & 7/18

We had a weekend of all sorts of emotions! Our weekend started off leaving Friday for the MX 215 track in North Salt Lake for another summer cross race. We made it Lakepoint were we had a tire blow off the tread so we had to change that (It should have been a sign to go back home). Next we got to the races and figured out our generator would not work and if anyone knows me that was not going to work. I am always way too HOT! So Vern had to bring up my sister's generator for us to use (thanks again for saving me!). In the mean time of having the windows all open to cool off until the generator arrived we let a million little baby grasshoppers in. I am not scared of bugs but when there are that many it was freaking me out!
Saturday came and Ryker had a blast playing in the dirt with his buddies. Chris took 1st place in the first moto and 2nd place in the second moto giving him 2nd place for the day!
Around 10:30 p.m. that night I got a call from my Dad telling me my Grandma McCabe was fading fast and that the nurse at Harmony said she would not make it through the night. I wanted to be there with my family so I went straight from the track to my Aunt Katie's house to be there leaving my boy sleeping and Chris to watch him. Grandma McCabe passed away at around 1:42 a.m. on July 18th with all of us by her side. She was such an amazing strong woman and such an inspiration to me and my family. I am so grateful that she is no longer in pain and feeling "rotten" anymore. I know she is still with us and will always be our angel watching over us! RIP Grandma!
After everything was settled and Grandma was taken away we all left and I headed back into Salt Lake making it there at about 4:30 a.m. (What a night!)
Chris was concerned about racing on Sunday and wanted us to go home to be with family but everyone was just resting and recouping after a horrible night that there was nothing we could do anyways. So I convinced Chris to race on Sunday since we had already paid for it. He took 2nd in the first moto and 1st in the second moto giving him 1st place for the day! WOOT WOOT!
Our GREAT friends Vern and Krista's little boy Jordan broke his fibula and tibula in his leg on the first moto on Sunday. Poor little guy was such a trooper and so brave. As Vern and Krista took him to Primary's we packed up their trailer, took ours home and came back in to get their trailer and take it home. They had enough to deal with that we did what we could to help. Jordan is scheduled to get his cast on Wednesday after the swelling goes down. We pray he recovers fast because he is already wanting to race again! I told ya he was brave!

Hayden and "Hector" aka Ryker playing

Ryker was wore out but insisted having his shoes on to nap. This picture does not do justice to how DIRTY he was!
Ryker is such a GoOf and always has us laughing obviously!

So as you can read we had a weekend of loss, saddness, fear, GREAT racing, hurt, pain, fun, etc. a little of every emotion!

4 years old?

Dear Ryker, How in the world are you 4 years old? I remember your Daddy handing me this tiny precious lovie like it was yesterday. I don't care how old or big you get you will ALWAYS be my baby, my first born that taught me so much. I never knew true, pure, deep love until I had you! This has been a BIG year for you.... you are FINALLY "poop" potty trained. Oh my Ryker I cannot believe how INCREDIBLY hard you were to potty train. Although we still have some pee accidents all in all you do great, I think you are just to on the go to take the time out from playing. You started preschool and you love it! Your best friends are Cash and Beckham (Bear). Some mornings you do not want to go and whine that you want me to go with you but you always go and come back home with the biggest smile and tell me how much fun you had. You are learning so much and it amazes me, I will listen and watch you play or watch a tv cartoon and you can usually answer all the questions correctl...

Happy MOTHER'S Day!

I LOVE Mother's Day. I love being a Mommy.... Ryker is truly the BEST thing that has ever happened to me and I am so extremely blessed that he is my baby! I woke up to Ryker saying "Happy Mom" and Chris and Ryker making me breakfast. I got a hand made card from Chris and Ryker and it melted my heart and made me cry like a baby. Chris and I talked before Mother's day and I asked him not to get me any gifts which he was disappointed in but we are in the process for buying a toy hauler and I wanted to make sure that was cut and dried before spending any money. Chris wanted to get me and promised me a seat to go on the back of my four-wheeler.... he spoils me! I love my two lovies so very much! Thank you for making my day so incredibly SPECIAL! I cherish every moment I have with the two men in my life! I've been called a lot of things in my life, but my favorite of all is Mommy! As Dora and I went the cemetery yesterday to decorate Mom's and Grandma'...

My poor baby boy

Ryker had a few bumps on his back that I noticed on Sunday. I figured it was his sensitive skin from us out camping and from me not putting an lotion on him. I hate to put lotion on him when we are camping because I feel like all the dust sticks to him and makes him even more dirty. Anyways on Monday he was so whiny and running a fever so we packed up and came home. Ryker struggled with the fever all night M onday and even actually slept with Chris and I which has never happened. I figured the fever was from two more of his teeth coming through. Anyway Tuesday when he woke up Ryker was normal again happy as can be so we went about our day. Well Wednesday I needed to go to work so I packed Ryker up to take him to Grandma Irene and I was telling her about these bumps on his legs that you could feel but barley see and she said her other granddaughter gets bumps all the time and it's no big deal. She agreed it was probable from camping and his sensitive skin. When Chris brought ...
