Motorcycle race week-end!!

We left Saturday AM for Delaware's Blue Diamond Motocross for a week-end of camping and motorcycle racing. Owen and Ty (Ty's first race) was that same day and Pete's race was on Sunday. We had a fabulous time, great weather and Ty's first race experience was perfect!!

Owen almost loosing it in the mud pit turn. A ton of kids crashed there throughout the race.

Owen going through the infield turns and the mud pit ...

Ty approaching the pine forest (don't mind my blabbering, I was talking to Pete on the phone, letting him know that Ty made it through the infield ok)

Owen surprised to hear his name but didn't miss a beat and marched right in there!!

And then our crazy kitty turned 2 ... ahhh ... Tenzing. So cute, handsome and cuddly but you can be a serious pain in the ass sometimes. We love you nonetheless ...

That picture HURT!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I have a lot to be thankful for (obvious if you read this blog).

Tomorrow is also my birthday. I turn 33. I am happy, I feel better than I ever have and I am running my first 10K ever, the Turkey Chase 10K in Bethesda. 

I am running it with my friends from Black Belt Martial Arts Center and they have become part of my extended family over the last 5 months. 

I have 2 active, lively boys who amaze me everyday. Owen will be running a 2 miler while I do my 10K ... he's only 5. Wow.

Ty wants to run but his little legs won't let him go past 1 mile at this point and that's just fine with him :)

Pete is wonderful, makes me laugh, loves me for what I am and I am proud to be his life partner.

I miss my parents, my brother and my sister everyday. I wish I was closer to them and could support them more actively but apart form that, I couldn't be anymore thankful :)
