The Weekend

We went to Page for a race this weekend, Rob hasn't been on a bike since March. It was great to see our friends at the races. Stieg's bike took 4 kicks to start, he struggled in the sand, still did great. He wrecked on the first loop and broke his clutch lever, we spent 30 min in the pit trying to find a lever, and then filing it down to fit. He only made it 2 loops but was riding really good on the second loop.



Go STIEG




We had these number 1's made for Rob at the first of the year, and just put them on the bike the night before the race. So I had to get a pic. Rob and Bert rode the team race, it was a great time for them. They both are out of shape and were arguing who was going to ride the 3rd loop. Rob lost out on that one. They had to start in the am. class instead of the expert, and Rob started. He came into the pit 16th overall, not bad for starting 5 min after the experts. Bert then got on and rode a loop coming in 12th. And it was up to Rob to finish. He came in at the end in 5th right behind 4th, he said he was too tired to try and pass 4th place. He rode awesome, but has been a walking ad for icy hot this week.

After the race we went to Hatch and stayed at my Mom and Dad's house there. Sunday morning my Dad said he wanted to go for a ride and show us something. These Moqui Caves were what he wanted to show us. Hard to believe the Indians lived in these in the winter. But pretty neat.

As you can see they sit along this big canyon.


We took a different road home and look at the view of Lake Powell isn't it beautiful.

Happy Birthday Trax

Since Traxton's Birthday was on Nov 1st we just spent the weekend in St. George. Thanks to Rob's parents for letting us have a party at their house. It was great that most of the family was able to make it. My kids love spending time with their cousins.



The Pirate Cake was a big hit.







We had good food and cake and ice cream and as usual Trax was spoiled. I can't believe he is already 4. He is getting so smart and loves going to school. Food , Family, and Fun what more can you ask for.

Halloween



Kia, Talon, and Traxton got to dress up for school.
Stieg didn't dress up on Thurs. because the Middle School was going to Cedar to go bowling for the day




I guess I need to fix the date on my camera. Oh well not much we can do now.
Here they all are. We were about 30 min out side of Panaca when I realized I didn't pack Ferryn's costume. I was a little disappointed, because she was going to be Tinkerbell. I have never had a little princess for Halloween. Of course those of you that know Kia, would know that she has always been afraid of frill and lace. Thanks to Grandma Riggs for keeping some old costumes on hand. It was so great to be back in the neighborhood and see everyone. It made me miss home. As we were walking and visiting with everyone Rob said. "We used to live in a nice neighborhood, didn't we." The best. I guess you could say here in Panaca we live on what looks like the wrong side of the tracks. I post some pics sometime.
