Dawson's Race!

Oh my!!!  We had such a fun weekend!  For several weeks now we have been looking forward to going to Spokane to watch Dawson Newby race.  We have known the Newby's for many years and have been wanting to see Dawson race.  With Jared just shy of 1 year and because he does well keeping his ear muffs on we hit the road Saturday morning and headed to Spokane for some Arenacross!!!  Here's all the pics ~

Outside the Team Faith rig.  Russel (my brother) drove the rig up with Dawson on Wednesday/Thursday.

Watching the time trials Saturday afternoon.

Look at that cute baby boy!

Grandma was able to come up to Spokane for the races!!!  It was such a blessing to have her with us ~ love that lady!  Grandma, Josh and Dawson serving the Team Faith devotional dinner for the riders and their crews, and anyone with a Pit Pass.  

We got to walk around the track!  Vivian especially loved this!  She would run up and down the hills, falling a few times just to get up, dust off and start running again.  The dirt was more like clay it seemed.

All the riders were lined up signing autographs and we got our picture with Dawson.  The girls told us tonight that they think he is handsome.  ;)  He sure has grown up to be quite the young man since we saw him last!  We are very proud of him as I am sure Jason and Jodi are, too.  

The Pit Passes were so fun because we got to be down where all the riders have their bikes.  Here we are by Dawson's bike.

Dawson on the "whoops"

At the starting line - Dawson is the one with the white and orange helmet with a cross on it.  Go God!

The Thayers and Brookelyn (and Chloe) from our small group came too!  Unfortunately we didn't get a picture of all of us together, but here is Chloe with Vivian, Jared and me watching the race. We are so glad that the Thayers and Brookelyn came for the weekend!

Then we got to pick up Uncle Russel from the airport this afternoon, as he and Dawson and Steven (another rider) are driving the Team Faith rig to Portland.  This worked out well as they gave Grandma a ride to Richland where she will spend some time with Kim and family. 

Such a fun Uncle!  He just hopped right into the back seat with the girls.  :)

Dawson with the Bonus family.

Love those crazy sibs!

A very fun and crazy weekend!  We are glad to be home, but we sure enjoyed our time with family and friends and dirt bike racing!
