It's Been Forever!!!

Oh my gosh! It has been forever since I've blogged. I have to catch up....

So two weekends ago I went up to Ogden to watch my Dad and two of my brothers chariot race. It was the World Championship! Jed made the drive up from Texas with his girlfriend Shannon to watch the races as well. It was so good to have them here!

Tye's team kicked butt on Friday and won the race so he didn't have to run on Saturday - he was automatically in the championship race on Sunday. However, after his race on Friday, Orange Saint (one of the horses on his team) came back hurt. We were all really bummed but were glad he had a day off to hopefully recover.

Zac's race was next and he blew them away! So he also advanced to the championship race.

Saturday my mom and I went shopping since Tye and Zac weren't racing. I got some curtains for my front room (which look amazing!) and also some throw pillows for the couch to match the curtains (equally amazing - I just need new couches...).

Sunday, Tye was racing for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for the 2nd Division. Saint was looking much better so they decided to run him. When they got out on to the track however, Saint was limping again. At the last minute they decided not to run him and scratched from the race. It was too bad but who knows how much damage it could have caused to the horses and Tye if they would have run. He did still get 3rd place though.

Zac was racing for the World Championship title. But he decided to let my Dad drive the team because he knew how much it meant to him and the last time they won the championship my dad had gotten hurt and was in the hospital. So Zac gave my dad the opportunity to drive the team. And he SMOKED them!!! It was awesome! And I'm pretty sure it was because of the amazing fans in the crowd cheering them on (my mom, Tye, Audrey, Zac, Jed, Shannon and myself). We were pretty loud even though my Dad was killing them the whole way.

The winning team.

Again, the winning team with Dave (my dad's chariot partner) driving.

The happy brothers after the race.

It was so much fun. I'm very proud of Tye, Zac and my Dad. I know it meant a lot to all of them. It was very exciting. The best part of the weekend was spending time with my brothers and parents. It doesn't happen too often when we're all together. We had a really good time.
