We were lucky enough to have a snocross race close to home in Sandy, UT. I met up with my sister Julie to shop an amazing sale at Old Navy. Here is Palmer (far left) with his cousins, Kate, Scott and Austin. I'm taking a guess at which one is which. I can't tell them apart yet. I need to spend more time with them! They were all so well behaved. We were able to get some awesome deals!
Here is Garth, snuggling with the boys in the hotel room in Sandy. He's probably one of the only pro racers who does this the night before a race. He balances being a devoted dad and a serious, focused racer very well.
Dexter has really picked up crawling and climbing. He climbs to the top of the stairs now in a blink of an eye. I really have to watch him closely!
We went to Aspen, Colorado for the Winter X-Games. Garth and his teammates left 2 days before me. I took on the two boys for a full day of airline travel husband-less. I, of course, was chosen for the full search/pat down because of my baby food (it was sealed, I didn't want them to open them all to test them. They would have gone bad...). It was quite invasive. They even patted down Dexter and a man tried to pat down Palmer but he was not having it. I didn't blame him. Random stranger with blue latex gloves on? I'm glad Palmer was stand offish. I guess it was 'good enough' since there wasn't any bomb residue on myself or Dex. I guess I'll take it for the security of our country... 
The weather in Aspen was amazing. Sunny and mid 40's. It was a blast.
Here is the living room of the house we stayed in. It was amazing. When we first got there, everyone had to check out all the rooms. The kids were all squealing with delight! It kept going on and on. I never did figure out how many rooms there were. We stayed with one of the team owners and his family, his brother and family, a couple of the mechanics, and a few others. We had such a fun time. I felt like part of the family. We cooked meals together, the kids all played...it was great.
The view from the back patio. Way in the background, up on the mountainside is where the X-Games took place. I also got to go shopping in downtown Aspen, but didn't take any pictures.
The starting line. Garth is down on the end.

Thanks Garth for working so hard for the life we have. We say all the time that right now is what we'll refer to later as "the good ole' days".

What a picture diary. Felt like I was right there. (Oh, yeah, I was, for one day). Love the full pat down, blue latex gloves? Thanks for sharing so much detail. Rachel says, "I sure miss those guys."
i can't believe you were searched like that. by yourself. 2 kids. geeze.
you are wonder woman!
it's good to see you are all doing well!
Wow you are one brave woman-taking two little ones on the plane! I am dreading it and my husband will be with me! Beautiful pics!
Love the update. I love so much that you and the kids are so supportive of Garth. Traveling with just Teagan is a bear, I can't imagine another on top of that. And they patted you down! Ridiculous!
Can't wait to see you guys soon.
You are very brave! We hope that you are having a nice winter. It sounds like you are. Thanks for the update!
your boys are getting big! and seriously, of all people to get searched...a mother with babies, for real...sorry!
