BMX-cellent!

Well, once again we're taking on a new challenge. Actually Hayden is. BMX racing! He is now an official member of the ABA/BMX (American Bicycling Association). Basically it cost us $4 for him to go out this evening and practice on a real track, and he didn't want to leave. He is a natural! Which doesn't surprise me as he has already gone through 4 bicycles and is now on his 5th. He taught himself to ride a bike without training wheels when he was 3, so it really is like second nature for him. It costs a small sum to join the team and you get to pick when you race. So, his first race is this weekend and Jon and I may be taking out a loan to purchase his new BMX bike and riding gear. If all goes well he can support us someday! Kidding! But we are very excited for him. Of course I have no photos of him practicing. Jon took him and Hunter and in his excitement forgot to snap any pics. I stayed home with Chloe while Chan was at his game in Weatherford. I promise to get some of him in his gear and hopefully on the track or maybe even with a big, fat trophy!! Hunter is probably going to join as well but is a perfectionist and wants to "hone his craft" before he gets out there for real. Wish Hayden luck!

YAY, Hayden, you are awesome. It's so fun to watch them grow and see what they choose and enjoy and excel at.
