More pics from our trip

MOTOCROSS

While we were in Idaho, Motocross came to Utah, and Blayne and Leslie wanted to take everyone to it!  Originally, just Jeter was going to go down with them, and me and Jerz were gonna stay with Maycee, so we could make sure to be at the airport Saturday (the day of the races) to see Jevin come home from his mission.  Then at the last second, Brayden and Diana said they were going to go too, and if we wanted to come, we could just race home and make it back in time for Jevin's flight to come in.  Wahoo!  Of course I was down with that!!!

First stop, P.F. Chang's, a family favorite.

The next day we woke up bright and early and headed to the races.  Jeter was in heaven.  He was so excited, naming every rider that went by during their practice laps.  He could hardly handle himself.  He knows almost all the 450 and 250 riders!  

We didn't have pit passes, but we wanted to see how close we could get, and if we could still see any riders.  We just had to stay outside this fence.  And I'm sure we weren't creepy at all trying to stalk the riders from behind the fence.  We walked up and down the fence line trying to catch a glimpse of any of the riders. Then we stopped in front of a bus, wondering if we were ever gonna see anyone... and low and behold, Ryan Villopoto (the #1 motocross rider this season) steps off the bus right in front of us, with his hair all afro-like with no shirt on and in some pink basketball shorts.  As we stood on the other side of the fence, I yelled, "RYAN!!!" He turned around and we all waved, as I yelled, "WE LOVE YOU!" (I don't even love him, I love Dungey.  I must have got too caught up in the moment.  Yikes!) Anyways, he smiled, waved back, and walked into his trailer. Then we did what any other annoying fans would do.  We waited there for him to come out.  :)

We waited and waited.

We never saw him.  Soon I saw this young kid walking towards the trailer/tent that Villopoto was in.  I was about to ask him if he would see if Villopoto was in there for us, and Jete looks up and says, "Hey that's Ciancarulo!" (a young rookie on the 250's this year).  I yelled something to him too, and then asked if we could take a picture with him.  He willingly obliged.  

Don't mind the fence that separates them.

After the first 450 race, me and Jete booked it over to the pits to see if we could see any more riders.  From behind that dang fence, we saw Villopoto again, and Ryan Dungey, getting rides on golf carts to their buses.  I yelled something to them about good job or congrats, and they both smiled and waved back. We were sweating and nasty from running in 100 degree weather, but it was worth it.  If Jeter was any older, I'm not sure if he would think I was cool for chasing them down and yelling things to these riders, or if he would be super embarrassed of his crazy mom.  Luckily, right now he just thought it was cool that they acknowledged us. 

This is the start of the race.  The downhill turn was insane!!!

Go DUNGEY!!!

Having a grand ol' time with each other at the races.

Our little Moto Head

AND...

we made it on TV again!!!  

This is at the finish line, right after Villipoto wins.  I got a text from Had (who was watchin the races at home) sayin, "I just saw you on TV.  What are you doing on the wrong side of the fence?  You're in the area with the photographers."

HA

We're crazy like that!

JEVTEEN

We had to skip out on the last 250 race so we could make it back to the airport in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to see Jevin.  We booked it the whole way there!  Braydogg's got some serious skills to not get pulled over by the 4 or 5 cops we saw on the way.  When we were getting close to the airport, we could see their plane coming in and getting ready to land.  We literally raced the plane!  We parked and ran in as fast as we could, grabbed a banner, and in walks this boy! I'm sure he didn't even notice that we were all sweaty and gross and melted from being at the races all day.  

It was so good to see him again!!! 

I think Jerz forgot who he was and Jete was excited.  

They were best buds before Jevteen left.

RYDER'S BABY BLESSING

This cute couple, Kenz and Rob, blessed their sweet baby, Ryder, while we were in Idaho.

I felt very lucky to get to go.  We always have to miss things like this, and it's so crappy.  

Aren't they the cutest little family?

The Pocock Fam

Jerzi and Lexie became best buds while we were there.  

Cousins are the best!

The McArthur Fam

Jerz thought Rob's work boots were hilarious.

As much as we love Idaho, and love spending time with everyone, we were ready to get back to our normal life.... with normal schedules, food, sleep habits, and most of all, Hadley!  I missed him so much!  It's hard to be apart for 3 weeks.

When we walked in the door, I was surprised by this beautiful bouquet of roses waiting for me.

Aww, he missed me too!

  

Idaho was awesome, the weather was awesome, the people were awesome, but it's always so nice to go back home!
