Clinic
Cahl took the older boys to a BMX clinic last night given by Mike McGonigle. He is a pro BMX racer, and he gives clinics once a week down at the track. 13 kids showed up for this one, and most of them did really well. Tristan learned a bunch, especially how to balance in the starting gate. That is something he has been trying to work on the last few weeks and now he's got it. Jasen didn't do so well. He wrecked several times, and got a little scared. So he ended the night early. But he wants to go again, so I think he likes it. I am really proud of him, because even when he wrecks, he always gets back up and on his bike to finish the track. I think that's so important, not to quit in the middle of something, but to finish what you've started and not give up.
BMX Race
Cahl took Tristan and Jasen out to the Nellis BMX track last night for a race. They both did good, each taking 3rd in their classes. It was a charity race, so they didn't get trophies, but they got participation medals instead. Hunter and I decided to stay home and go to bed early!
Tristan's trophy shelves A Wedding, and a Funeral
On a sad note, Cahl's step-dad Jim's father passed away last week. I had only met him 1 time, but still. We drove out to Indian Springs last Wednesday night to visit with Jim and his mom. And we spent most of Friday morning in Boulder City for the funeral and then a family lunch afterward.
On a much lighter note, my best friend Gabrielle's brother Donnie got married here in Vegas today. He surprised his family a week ago with the wedding announcement, and so Gabrielle and her parents flew in this weekend for the wedding. I hadn't seen Donnie in a few years, so it was nice to see him and meet his new wife. They seem very happy together, so I am very happy for them.

Jasen's Race
Cahl and I surprised Jasen with a new racing bike a few weeks ago, and last night was his first BMX bike race. He did really well. He did wreck a few times, but he always got right back up and on his bike. His class was really full, but he still made it to the main heat. He took last place, but he got a trophy for being in his first race. Tristan also raced. He did well, making it to the main heat as well. He didn't get a trophy, but he is really doing better. I can definitely see the improvement every time we go.
