  He Won Big Time...I'm so proud

  last year was a pretty tough year for my family, three of our clan passed, but with each passing our family came together and our bonds were strengthened...

  two of the cousins, Caleb and Colten Moore, have competed in the Snowmobile part of the Winter X Games. Last year after a horrible accident Caleb lost his life.  Colten will be back competing tonight!.  You can read this very heart warming and heart breaking story in the links below... if you'd like.

  Colten Moore Will Be Sentimental Favorite at X Games Aspen 2014

  Even if Colten Moore doesn't win a medal in Aspen, he's made a major statement just by taking part.

  Last year, Colten's brother, Caleb, crashed attempting a backflipduring the Snowmobile Freestyle finals, with his snowmobile landing on top of him. Although he was able to walk off with help, he died a week after the accident. It's the only time that an athlete has died in the history of the X Games.

  You could excuse Colten if he wanted to take a year off, but that's not something he's prepared to do, as he is in the field for the 2014 Snowmobile Freestyle finals. Moore said, per ESPN.com's Devon O'Neil:

  "I think going back to X Games is going to be a little nerve-racking but I've dealt with it throughout the year. And I'm going to have a lot of family and friends there to help me, keep me calm. I'll pray to Caleb, and I know he'll be there with me. And everything should be good."

  

   This is  Uncle Charles, Calebs Grandfather and Caleb in 2011...Uncle Charles is in Aspen this year along with a gathering of other family members.
