Over mid-winter break a.k.a. ski week (a week off provided by the school district to encourage you to vacation then rather than pull your kids out of school) we headed to Hollister for a few nights of camping and dirtbike riding. We had never been before but have lots of friends who really like it so thought we'd check it out. Also our regular spot CC Camp was closed due to all the rain we have been getting so we didn't have much of an option. It ended up being really cool. All the trails are one-way - makes me feel so much safer, I always worry about a head-on. There are alot of green and blue trails (they mark them the same as ski trails) which is great for Cameron & Cooper - not as great for Eddie who prefers the black diamond. We were able to take the boys on some amazing trail rides and also got some track riding in.

Us waiting for Dad to decide what way we are going.
The place is really spread out. You ride your bike everywhere- to all the track and trail entrances and even the store. The boys loved riding to the store for an ice cream!
Great view from one of our trail rides.
Another great view.
A little art work while daddy cooks us dinner.
Mom & Cameron hanging around the fire.
Cooper on a night ride...complete with head light.
It was great fun. Cooper did his first ride without training wheels. We have tons of pictures and some video... we will show you that on the next post.
Welcome to our family blog. We are glad to be able to share the events in our lives with you. We hope this will be an easy way to keep everyone updated and enjoy being able to share with you.

Wheelin
Let's get going Dad!!
Eddie planning the route with Troy
A quick pose - notice I'm hanging on to Cooper :)
Dad & Cameron
Ah...a proud jeep owner.
We all love being able to go wheeling in our new (used) jeep. We traded our Toyota for something we could all ride in. Added bonus - we get to go 4wheelin now. The boys love it. We hit some trails at Cow Mountain in Ukiah - actually a place we also go dirtbiking. They have a 4 wheel play area with logs & rocks to crawl over and some pretty intense wall climbs (we aren't that brave/dumb) also some great trails to wheel on. A new hobby for all of us. Cameron & Cooper were stoked when we got to use the winch to pull a truck out on our first outing. Eddie is excited he talked Troy into buying a jeep as well so we have someone to go with. Always feels better out on the trails if you aren't out there alone! I'm sure you will be seeing a lot more of these pictures in the future :)

Happy Valentine's Day
Preparing their Valentine's for school.
A yummy Valentine's treat. Cooper's favorite - s'mores with homemade grahams and the marsh mellow and chocolate melted in this glass canister. YUMMY! Not to often you get s'mores at a restaurant we are usually making them around the campfire.
Well the Valentine's are all passed out to our school friends and the party's complete. Happy Valentine's Day everyone. (Crap...I gotta run to the store in the morning and get some cards!!)

Super!
Supercross that is. We went to the Supercross @ AT&T Park. We didn't walk the pits this year, the kids thought it was too crowded last year. Our friend Troy did and got the kids a ton of cool posters. We got to see some great racing and even a few good wipe-outs. Oh yeah, and had some $10 cotton candy of course. (I won't even tell you how much the beers cost).
5 minutes till racetime
Ready for it to start
Cameron's favorite part of watching the race
Finally, Cooper got his cotton candy!
