ā ļøSappy Post Warning ā ļø
Reflecting on last weekend brought me a lot of pride... the kind that comes from early mornings, long drives, and scraped knuckles.
Being able to walk beside my sons through moto life, the wins and the upsets, is one of the greatest privileges Iāll ever have. Theyāre both far beyond any skill I have on a dirtbike. I canāt throw āfat whipsā or ācarry more roll speedā for them (though Lord knows Iād try šā¦ ) But I sure am there for every moment around it! The bike and meal preparation, the encouragement, the conversations when things didnāt go the way they hoped⦠the endless miles of travel, piles of dirty gear, and library of photos and videos to study. And I am proud of the young men my sons are becoming with all that effort. Proud of their determination, their resilience, their willingness to keep going when things get tough.
Sharing in their struggles and celebrating their victories has shown me something powerful: raising boys into good men isnāt about perfection. Itās about presence, patience, believing in them even when the track gets rough (and muddy) and, yes, reminding them that there is more to life than what happens between the foot pegs. Iād be lying if I said I didnāt LOVE the school of motocross my family has subscribed to⦠and the extended family weāve built in it. ā¤ļøš Feeling extra grateful today⦠and looking forward to the work we all have the privilege to keep putting in for the next race.
One cake, TWO legends! š Happy Birthday to the ultimate father-son birthday duo!
@herrmann205 youāve spent years setting the example for how to work hard and play harder š Clearly, the strategy worked because @codyzilla405 is growing up to be the guy that keeps the good times rolling, the beats dropping š¶, and never backs down from a challenge šŖ
Cheers to more crazy adventures and many more birthdays to celebrate the amazing humans that you are. š I love you past the moon š
I donāt feel old enough to be married 17 years but here we are and couldnāt be happier. Canāt wait to see what adventures we go on in the next 17 years. Love you so much @heezy_does_it
Shoutout to @codyzilla405 who checked a lot of āfirst timeā boxes this weekend at the @swapmotoraceseries . I love watching him discover himself through every rut, burm, and jump & bond over a shared passion with @sethro305

@playavenaofishing made this trip so much more memorable! In addition to a beautiful tour of the coastal waters, we caught Sierra Mackeral, Albacora Tuna, Jack Caravelle, and a ton of Bonitos! Sashimi & ceviche never tasted so good!
