This is just funny!

Stacy and Brett came to California for a visit just before Halloween and Brett's mom made these awesome peanut butter eyeballs! There were so cute and we got a little carried away with them--

Bryce again....

Well this happened on Dec 6, 2009, Byrce went riding and he promised me he would come to the church and take some really great photos of our bit Enrichment Christmas party. We decorated till we wanted to die- it was worth it, but by about 5:30 I had not heard from Bryce but knew he would be there, as he is a pretty dependable guy...well my cell phone rings and its Bryce..he says "Mom, I can't come take pictures, I am sorry..........I am on my way to the ER I broke something, it really hurts, can't talk gotta go......Gordon was my technical helper at this event but he rushed off to meet him at the hospital...as you can see he came out with a broken scapula...not much they can do about it, its a very rare break so he just had to brace his arm and be really careful--it was a very long 8 week healing process, but he was good to let it heal well before he went riding again. The broken one is the one on the left. Here is another "thankful it wasn't worse" post.....

Christmas 2009

Ya, I know its March and Christmas was three months ago....But here are some pics of the fun time we had, we missed Dallin this year, he didnt have enough time off work to spend Christmas with us, be we thought of him and wished he were here. He was in great hands at my sister's where he was well fed and entertained! This year Blake and Melissa won the bid on the money jar tradition! Yea for them! Who will win next year........





Kyle......are you awake yet????


Reading the clues for the treasure hunt....xbox 360......

Hopefully he will have enough pairs so he wont lose them!

Orange rolls!!

AFMXA Competition

Bryce was in his first freestyle motocross competition! He had to submit a video and get accepted, so he did and he was! He has been really excited about it and practiced a lot while he was preparing. We all went out and watched the competition and it was really fun. Many of his friends came to watch and even Todd, Grant and Sawyer, drove out so that was nice. It was super nervewracking to sit in the stands and wonder what I was about to see, I still get nervous thinking about it. He decided he would volunteer to go first and get it over with I guess, so when he came over that first jump, my heart jumped to my throat and the competition began!


He did some great tricks and certainly impressed the crowd. There were 18 riders in his division and most did a really good job. I thought he certainly had some competition but the judges comented on how smooth he rode and his landings were solid. After the 18 had two runs each they narrowed it down to half and Bryce made the finals! They had another run after that and then they annouced there was a tie for first and second. It wasn't Bryce so we then figured the very best he could get would be third. The first and second place had a run off they their fate was determined and then they annouced that BRYCE HUDSON had taken third place!!!
That was so exciting! Wow, we were so happy for him and he was just so pleased as well. It was nice to just see something go your way for once! His little posse of followers cheered him on and it was a great victory!

They then took five and had them do them "biggest tail whip" competition--it was narrowed down to the top two and the judges couldnt decide...it was between Bryce and another rider!!! They had a jump off and Bryce went and did awesome, then the other rider had something wrong with his wheel so they gave it to Bryce! woohoo! Bryce's was better anyway, but the other guy had to feel bad....he did a really good job as well.

It was a really fun and exciting day for him and then that night they had a big award ceremony at Pala Casino. He got to go up on stage and get his award and shake hands with the "big" guys in motocross. Fun day......

Bryce!

Bryce went riding in the middle of the week last week, on a Tuesday, when he normally has to work. Which meant he had to get up at 5 am to go in to work to load and make deliveries before he could leave to go riding. Well, his alarm didn't go off so he was pretty upset, so when I woke him up it was 6--he leaped out of bed ran out the door...raced to get his work done and was on the road at 9 am to make it to this ride day. They were filming his friend for some Tilly's promotion and he was hoping to get some exposure. Anyhoo, he made it and it ended up not being too big of a deal but there was a guy there taking photos and he got a really great one of Bryce! Bryce doesn't get too many great shots of himself since he is the one that knows how to run the camera! Anyway, he is getting some pretty good skills, I think its a good thing I haven't seen him ride in a while I think I would be watching though my fingers....while holding my breath and hyperventilating at the same time...


Notice the sign that says "RAMP CLOSED" - I guess they just didnt see it!

Kyle!

So since Kyle has given up on his career to play in the NFL and win the superbowl, he has discovered a new sport, that I can agree with wholeheartedly! Its not really called gymnastics, or flipping, or breaking, its called "tricking" and its his thing!! I'd say he has found his niche!

Old dresser

We found this old dresser and it needed some TLC! the top was peeling off, really scratched up but it was a nice looking dresser and had great potential! So Gordon and I stipped it, and sanded it and fixed it all up! Well, Gordon did 75%....I can only take credit for about 25%....but I think it turned out really nice, now we just need to find the right handles and it makes a beautiful piece of funiture!
