Cow Dung Run

Jason and Jaden participated in the Cow Dung Run in Delta on March 15. They had fun, but it was only 13 degrees when we entered Delta! Jade got an awsome start, but finished second to last. He cried the entire race, but he did finish! He had cold hands and was so upset over it. I am very ill-equipped for this type of weather! Jade said he was just so happy he didn't lose and get last place. Jason says that's a boy thing. Finally, the finish line

Jason's run went well. Here he is with two of the boys just hanging out to get his finishing order.

This is his last lap of the race. He fell and his feet were tangled up in the handlebars... Another rider had to stop and help him get untangled. He still took second place in his class. It is craziness to me all the stuff he goes through, for the possiblility of a trophy. There isn't even cash invloved in these races!!

This is a checkpoint and coming into pit road. He said while he was tangled in his bike, he was thinking that he was being crazy about racing, and probably wouldn't do it anymore. Well, the next night, he was telling me to get the next application ready and sent out. So, Wendover, here we come on April 15. Back to Delta in May, and maybe a bit of a break for the summer. Who knows????

He sure looks cute, though!

Rhino Rally 2009

Jason and Jaden both participated in the Rhino Rally this year. It's a motorcycle race. Jade's was a loop that they ran for twenty minutes. Jason's was a 55 mile ride. I didn't get any pics. of him during the race, but this is him coming into pit road. He was really mad at this point, because he had to fix his clutch in the middle of the race. It took him about ten minutes to do that. He was passed by so many people, he was very frustrated. Still, he took fourth in his age class. We still don't know how he did overall, with the three hundred riders. But fourth in his class for his first time, isn't so bad. He even received a trophy! Off to Delta this weekend for the Cow Dung Run! Yee HAW!

Jaden looks so cute in his matching red gear. He had a lot of fun and it was fun to watch. I asked him how many times he crashed, and he said," I quit counting after four, mom". So funny! All the kids were falling a lot and some were even on training wheels! Talk about cuteness! He took fifth in his age group. He thought he took third, and is still upset over it. He will try again in Delta this weekend, and we'll see how aggressive he gets there about third place!

Off he goes!

Happy Love Day!

For Valentine's Day, we went as a famly up to Pine valley and went tubing. It was a first for all the boys. We had a lot of fun, and it was interesting. There aren't any pics. of me, as Jason noted the other day, but obviously, I am there!

Easti's first haircut! :(

I just gave Easton his first haircut. I really struggle with the fist haircuts because the babies lose that "baby look" as was the case here. Jason kept telling me that Easton was going to fly away with his bat wings. He could tell I wanted a girl because I kept letting the curly locks in the back grow. So, I gave in and cut his adorable curls. WAAAAAAA

Bye Bye, Sweet baby curls!

Sure enough, even minutes later, he looks older. What a sad thing! 15 months old. What a cutie pie. I cried while I cut his hair and Stanton was very confused. He couldn't figure out the sadness factor. He kept telling me is was just a haircut for Easti, "It's okay, mom" he repeatedly spoke. SO, now two weeks later, I am okay with it. It took me that long to post and face the reality of it, but oh well. He is still a sweet cute boy!

Fun!

The boys got Wiggle Cars for Christmas. Easton, I thought was too little, but boy was I wrong. It is so hard to keep him off. He loves them and zooms around so quickly. He turns on a dime and is probably the best driver of them all! He will most likely be getting one for Christmas this year!!!

He even rides in his church attire!

The boys having fun on the wiggle cars, since they have to share a lot!

Jaden in his glasses getting ready for school. He is a cutie pie! 6 years old and has a lot of girliefriends!

Jade's 100!

Jaden had his 100th day of shool last week. One of the activities was that thet were able to dress up like they were 100. Can you figure out which one he is?

The cane was made for him from Papa Jerry. Thanks to an old tree and some creativity. Here, though, his friend Tyler gets to use the prop. Thanks Papa! The kids had a great time being old with your thoughtfulness!

hint: he is the one dressed up as the little old lady. Cute!

Here are a few more Christmas pics. A little late, I know. The aftermath...
Yep. I got to clean it up. Darn you, Santa. Think this through, would you?

Ma & Pa Averett!

Easton is loving the box to his new boots!

How could you not love this little boy? Still probably his favorite Christmas gift today. He loves the beanie, scarf, and mittens. He wears them at least once a week. He is so funny!
