Jug mt race

Jug Mountain is always such a fun race. We love it every year. This was no exception. The camping is always great. We got our favorite spot again so that was great. The kids ran around and had tons of fun and pre ride was great. We didn’t like what they did to the ending. So dumb. But what can you do????? I’m sure it’s a safety thing. 
We love our sprinter van and how convenient it is for these races. 
Takeshi hung out in this outfit almost for the whole two days. 
Yuki hung out with Emery when she could. His parents are super strict with his time. His dad even came banging on the van door to demand where Emery was. So that’s weird. 
Everyone has a great race. Takeshi came in 9th and his teammates were 8th and 7th. It was pretty awesome. 



He was really happy. 

Yuki had her best race yet. She came in seventh and was pumped. They pulled out most of the girls thought for their third lap which was weird and she was bummed. 
She crushed it though and felt amazing. 











Look at that sweet air. 


Emiko did awesome too and didn’t come last. She actually did really well. She seemed happy with her race as well. It’s a great venue. 



Paisley giving yuki a hug after the race. So cute. 




This was later that night back at our place. The boys were all playing in the back yard. 



It was a really fun weekend. Proud of all the kids.

Takeshis homecoming

Homecoming was a crazy time for our family. But Takeshi made it work for his girlfriend. It was alot of planning and I think he was over it but it turned out great in the end. He brought this group together and they had fun. 
It was a combination of his friends and hers. So tricky for sure. But the night ended up well. Takeshi got a ride home from his mtb race with Samantha so he could be ready in time for Morgan. We found him clothes for cheaper so that was great. They went and got pictures first. Then Samantha’s family made them dinner. Then they went to the dance and had a party back here. 
It was pretty awesome and Morgan’s mother helped a ton. We were exhausted coming back from the race so she’d made  us some dinner and helped with snacks. 

I think Takeshi had fun. So I’m glad.
