{Motocross}

Our summers are spent on the water, soaking up the sun and

just being together on our boat.

Our winters are spent at the motocross track.

Yep.
The Hubs rides Motocross!

Ross loads up his bike, I load up the littles and we’re off!
The excitement on his face is priceless.

The routine is always the same.
Ross puts his gear on…

…while the littles wait with excitement and I organize all of our stuff.

Before Ross goes out on the track,
He always has a few minutes with his biggest fan, Cliff.
These moments are so beautiful, tender and sweet.

Soon the littles are “oohing and aahing” when their daddy flies through the air.
Cliff always points in amazement and says
“Look Mama, Daddy can fly!”

As strange as it sounds,
these days are all about our family.
Being together.
Enjoying each other.
Laughing, talking and sharing secrets.
And although it would be so much easier for Ross to work on his bike in peace,
he always recruits help from the two best mechanics
in this world.

The Girl yells “WHOA!” every time a bike goes flying in the air over a jump.
She loves “minicycles!”

Being at the racetrack is a nice change of pace from her usual days of
“dance kwass” and dressing up like Fancy Nancy!
I want her to be well rounded, experience as much as she can.
I want her to be ok with trying new things and being outside of her comfort zone.

So far,
The Girl is a rock star at being in the moment and embracing change.

While Daddy is on the racetrack…

…The Boy races his own little dirt bikes.

And when Ross comes back to us,
he takes the boy to “race” around the pits.
This is Cliff’s favorite part!
(Don’t worry, Ross does not take him out on the track!)

  1. That looks like so much fun! We’re on the boat here all Summer long too but we don’t do much in the Winter – just work on the house, I guess!

    BLESS YOUR HEART! You are a braver woman than me; I have *never* let my hubby snag a pair of white boots! My husband is also into motocross. A life-changing wreck has taken him off the current scene, but it will always be a passion of his. {And I have a fond obsession with my telephoto zoom lens}

    I recently made him a photobook; check it out!http://warmwinterwishes.blogspot.com/2011/01/robs-quad-shutterfly-photo-book.html
