Sunday Surprise

Soon after I awoke this morning I realized the Raspberry Fairy had visited us!!

She left homemade PIE, JAM and a carton of raspberries that Indi ate long before I got up.

Pure heaven! Thanks Grammy!!

Indi LOVES school!

On the way to Breakfast at the Bus Stop!

Jason a little sleepy from the first couple nights with a newborn.

Sweet baby Berklee

Why does Melissa look so much more refreshed at 8:30 than me?

I swear we were just taking them to kindergarten!

Bye!!

All the kiddos playing with worms after the bus left.

"I like to be under water."

Couldn't find Sloane the other day long enough that I was starting to panic. She had JUST been in the back yard. Finally I see a tiny blue face peering around the house next door. She looked hilarious but first I had to yell at her for scaring me, then I proceeded to ask her why she had a blue face. She wouldn't answer me so I gave up. A few minutes later Melissa called and told me that Sloane had told Tyson that she likes to be under water and when she colors her face blue it helps her to feel like she is under water. I'm sure the bath she got afterward helped too.

Flew the Coop

Cassidy, Nicole and Marvin moved to Newport. We have all stuck around here for the most part so it has been really hard to have them leave. Thankfully Nicole will be in town often for work AND we have a fabulous new vacation spot! We are so excited for you guys but miss you so much already!

Lots of Band aids and brave girls.

In the Health clinic waiting to get shots.

Beaux: MOOOM!! I like SHOES I hate SHOTS!!

After shots coming home in the car.

Beaux: Mom turn on Singa Ladies. (Beyonce, Single Ladies)

Ouch mom I can't do this!!

Tries to show me with her sore arms the wrist movement from the video.

Me: Beaux want do you want for your big prize for getting your shots?

Beaux: A toothbrush!! .... that was easy enough, I was expecting a barbie.

We ended up at Cold Stone.

Grand total: Beaux 5 shots

Sloane: 3 shots...Didn't shed a tear!!!

Goes against what i believe in...I hate giving them too many at once!

I was so moved by the reunion of these brave women with their families. I can't imagine what they and their families went through. Especially Euna being a mother, not knowing if she would she her 4 year old daughter again. SO grateful for their release. And want to thank Bill Clinton for a job well done.

Cassidy's 5th Place X Games 2009

Cassidy took 5th place in Supermoto against some of the best riders around the world. Not bad for a dude who sits at a desk now and eats lunch from a vending machine. He has only been on a bike 6 times since last season! He is amazing and we were so happy to be there again with him. The X Games are a blast!

Cassidy's team: David Pingree and the legend Jeff Ward.

Starting line on the jumbo tron. Wish I could have gotten pictures from the asphalt part of the race. The majority of Supermoto is on asphalt, they go up to 100 miles per hr and around tight corners of concrete barriers. Then onto a dirt motocross track, it is such a fun sport to watch.

Our good friend Rob Collins came out and spent the day with us.

Dad and Maddy with Rick "The Giant". Our families long time friend.

The family with Troy Lee. He is Cassidy's sponsor and owner of Troy Lee Designs.

Proud of our brother!

Cassidy loves it when his proud mom kisses him at one of his races.

So many interviews when you are famous.

Someone taking some of his gear that they won.

Proud wifey Nicole.

Troy Lee's head mechanic Matt Jory from Austraillia and girlfriend Chelsey.

Troy and Cass talking about his race.

Cassidy's friend Greg Jenson and girlfriend Katina. Greg owns Motofrugals.

Greg and Jeremy Jenson and Cass

Rick stole some pasta from the riders. He felt he needed to carb up before the race. He is hiding it from the chef.

Rick, Greg, Nicole Rob, Lisel, Chris, Dad, Mom, and Maddy

This is ME WITH STEVE MCQUEEN'S SON CHAD!!

My bud, the handsome Carey Hart :)

He is SUCH a nice guy...said some really great things about Cassidy. His brother passed away last year after crashing racing Supermoto. Cassidy was racing at the same event.

Carey's tent comes with a turn table.

Fancy cars and his own personal doctor to work on him before races.

This is Adrian Chareyre from France, he took 3rd. Maddy and I have become friends with his teammate Mauno Hermunen from Finland on Facebook. When Cassidy won the biggest Supermoto race in the world in Belgium, Mauno took second. It was fun to meet someone from his team. As we were taking this picture he said, "Ahhh thees eas America!" Pretty funny.

Katina and I with Mark Burkhart.

Greg and Jolene from Travis Pastrana's show Nitro Cirus.

Everyone's favorite redneck.

Jeremy McGrath!

Every time we take pictures of him at races he will turn and smile.

Jeremy #2

Ok this girl is so inspiring and amazing. Her name is Ashley Fiolek, I met her last year at the X Games. She was injured and not able to race. But this year she was ready to go. She is 16 years old and deaf. She has to rely on feeling vibrations in her bike to know when to shift. She ended up with the gold! So fun to watch.

We made a stop at one of our favorite shows. Kat wasn't there but it was really fun to see the place. We even got to watch a Ford commercial being filmed.
