Jackson has a new hobby to add to his long list. BMX bike racing! Well, we're working our way up to the racing part. James has taken him to watch the kids race several times and about 6 months ago Jackson decided to try it for himself. He LOVED it so much that we bought him a used BMX bike to start practicing on. He started out needing a lot of help at the starting gate, but has improved to the point that he can do it by himself. He still has a ways to go before he actually races, right now he just goes on nights where they practice. It's fun to watch, at least until he crashes and James has to help him! (That's when I hide my eyes!!) We'll see where this new hobby goes - good luck, Jackson!
Jackson's the one with the white helmet and long sleeve blue shirt. James is running off to the side, towards the booth. They are required to wear full face shield helmets, okay by me!
Jackson taking the jumps! Yeah!

I've missed your posts, I'm glad you're back!
And GO JACKSON!
AWESOME! Matt was so excited for Jackson when he saw that. He said he always wanted to be in BMX racing. They even had a "biker club" in his small neighborhood. He said he sprained his ankle once "saving the course" from another group of bikers. They were jumping for "keeps." Isn't that funny!? Now I guess he likes to compete on horses.
sorry that was from me, logged on as Matt.
