So it's been a while since we've updated!!! No, we have not fallen off the face of the earth, just been busy!
Jake has started student teaching at Mt. Ogden Jr. High. He teaches 5 periods of geography and 1 period of P.E. It keeps him EXTREMELY busy but he is loving it and learning a lot! He is still trying to work at the Bike Shoppe every chance he gets. On the days that he teaches and goes to work, he wears 3 different outfits, so needless to say, our laundry load has increased a LOT! He's been working so hard and I'm so proud of him! Keep it up babe and Hang in there...only a few more months!
Jake was also able to participate in Lotoja again this year. He decided to do a relay race this year with the guys from the Bike Shoppe instead of putting himself through the whole 206 miles.
Waiting to start his leg of the race
He did the 3rd leg from Montpelier to Afton...46 miles with 2 REALLY steep climbs! He did AMAZING!!! He even beat us too the the end of his leg and we were in the car! Pretty impressive! He still got sick, but it was for a lot shorter time than last year thank heavens!
After his ride with his proof that he pushed his hardest!!!
At the finish line in Teton Village with the team.
The Bike Shoppe Team took 3rd place out of over 50 teams!!! Way to go guys! You did awesome!
Matt, Jayk, Nate and Jake (missing Nathaniel)
Jake's BIGGEST fan!

His other BIGGEST fans, his parents!!!
Jake has lots of friends and even family in the sport and we are grateful for their friendship and support. Thanks for cheering him on!!!
Jake and his Uncle Mike who finished the race for his 2nd time!
Jake and his friend John H. who has been a big inspiration in many aspects of Jake's life.
It was fun to get to spend a little more time with him throughout the weekend than we usually get to. Sunday we spent some time in Jackson just hanging out before heading home.
We are now 28 weeks along and things are still looking good! We are starting to get really excited! He's an active little guy and is always moving around! I say "he" because we haven't decided on a name yet, but hopefully that will soon come!
Things are going awesome and we feel so blessed!
