Happy St. Patty's Day! Hope everyone gets lucky today!
BMX Race
The boys had a national BMX race this weekend. Today Tristan took 7th overall, and Jasen did not place in his class. Jasen chose not to race again tomorrow, so we'll see how Tristan does tomorrow. They also got their pictures taken with the Olympic gold medalist, Maris Strombergs, and the NBL national champion Randy Stumpfhauser. They got their autographs when we went down to Arizona, but this time they got their pictures with them too. They are both so excited to get the photos framed and hung in their rooms!

Rest in Peace
An old friend of ours, Charlie, passed away yesterday. He and Cahl were in the Marines together, and have kept in touch since we moved here to Vegas. This is just a quick note to say, Charlie- you will forever be in our hearts! You are gone much too soon, but all I can hope is that now you are at peace. Goodbye friend.
Charlie, Jonnie, Cahl and Joe at Medeival Times

Lost... and Found
So this evening we were all sitting around watching tv while dinner cooked. We thought Hunter was asleep upstairs and so we asked Jasen to go check on him. He came back and said Hunter was not upstairs. We panicked. Cahl ran outside while I ran upstairs. After about a minute this is what I found:
Hunter had fallen asleep underneath his bed! When I found him the other bean bag chair was also in front of him and he was covered with his blanket. On the one hand terrifying, and on the other hand so sweet!
