Boring....

Sorry guys, life is boring over here right now. Guess thats why I havent posted anything fun. We have all been battling colds for the last 5 days and Wyatts seems to be getting a little worst, he is coughing a nasty cough now. I havent done laundry in a week and there is a pile a mile high in our closet right now. So gross. At least Im feeling better though so i need to get on it.

I had girls bunco last night at our house. I was not a happy camper... I had been planning it for a month, everyone RSVP'd, I made dinner yesterday morning (chicken tortilla soup to throw in a crock pot) and it took me over two hours. I made dinner for 20 people. Well througout the day yesterday i had 8 people cancel, 8!!!! OMG was i so pissed. I didnt even have enough people to play. I scrambled to find a few more to at least have four tables (16 people) and finally at about four thirty (party starts at 6pm) I found the 16th person to complete the 4th table. Ughhh its so rude, thats my biggest pet peeve is flakey people like that. So Luke got home and took the kids to my brothers since Brandi was coming to our house to play. However right before he left the power went out!!!! THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD!!!!! My crock pots were off, i was trying to set up food and snacks and put on makeup all in the dark! Who knows what I looked like last night! I was on the verge of tears, you have no idea. It was so not my day! Mind you its 515ppm when the power goes off... I didnt know what to do. I seriosuly just wanted to cry after all that. FINALLY at 549pm the lights came back on, 549!!!! Gave me ten minutes to realize what the heck I had done to the kitchen cuz I couldnt see what I was doing the whole time. But oh my gosh was I happy to have power again! The party was still fun, everyone had a good time. Always nice to have a girls night.

Luke got home and went to the gym... first gym trip with his new pass. He was happy.

Other than that, life is just boring right now. Nothing too exciting. Pics to come soon. I promise. And we will see the twins sunday too so you will see the cute little boogers probably sunday night!!

I Suck!

I totally suck, i brought my camera with me when i went to the hospital yesterday and dumb me left it in the car!!!! Jake said when they get home he will send me some though. If all of us are feeling better by this weekend we are gonna go over there and see them too so Ill bring my camera. Otherwise we are going there for Superbowl so you might all have to wait til then! I know, I suck!! But OMG they are soooo stinkin cute. Wyatt and I went yesterday after I dropped Jack at school. It was so weird to see two babies, and to compare two babies to either side of the family. I held Peyton the whole time, and completely fell in love!
Peyton came first and is the bigger one, 6lbs10oz but a half inch shorter than her sister. And you should have seen this blonde hair!!! It was like when a mexican kid comes out with a huge thick head of black hair only it was blonde! Sooooo much hair and so thick and it stuck up in a huge fro! It was cute. None of the nurses had ever seen anything like it! Nor had I. She has been super easy so far, nursing good, sleeping good, doesnt make a peep.
Regan is the smaller one and you can tell, her face and head were alot smaller than Peytons. She seems more petite. She came 16 minutes after her sister and was 6lbs1oz. Her hair was normal baby hair, darker than Peytons but just laid nicely on her head like usual. It wasnt super dark though, still kinda blonde. NOTHING like Peytons! Jake said she looks identical to McKenna when Kenna was born. Regan has been a bit of a butt. She cries everytime you put her down (Jake has held her 24/7 cuz he hates seeing her fuss). She is nursing pretty good too but not nearly as good as Peyton. Kristyn thinks she will be the tough one like Kenna was!
But they were all doing sooooo good and they are just so happy to have them here! Jake is hilarious. He is just one proud papa. I would ask Kristyn a question about the birth or something and Jake would answer it first. He cracked me up! He is just so cute with them and Im really happy they are both here and healthy and they finally had these babies they have been trying so hard for! They are two very lucky little girls!

They are Here!!!

Peyton and Regan are here!!! So fast too might I add! They weighed in at 6lb2oz and 6lbs10oz! One is blonde and one has brown hair!! Everyone is doing good! Cant wait to get over there and go see them... Ill post pics as soon as I do!

24 Hour...

No not 24 hours in a day.... 24 hour fitness. Luke and I finally got gym passes again! Thank god! We need them, bad.... time to get into shape again. I havent hit up a gym since before i was pregnant.... with JACKSON!!!! Ughhhh. I have Gianna as my new gym partner and I swore up and down that I will go four days a week, shooting for five though (Im leaving out fri and sat cuz i know it wont happen, just being realistic!).... Anyways, yayyyyyyyyyyyyy! So happy to have a gym pass again! Wooohoooo!

PS Did you know Kids Club costs $3 per kid everytime, so expensive. Im hoping that doesnt hold me back (the fact I have to pay $6 everytime i go!)

Our Lame Turtle

So the boys xmas present AKA Tuck the turtle is soooo lame! It hasnt eaten since we got it and I have been freaking about it thinking I am killing this turtle. Well finally my next door neighbor who has two of them told me not to stress cuz they are just hibernating. He says he doesnt even feed his for a few months during the winter. Thank Goodness I wasnt killing this thing. However, maybe its just cuz he is in hibernation mode but he does NOTHING!!!! He was so active when we first got him, hauling butt around the grass and the carpet ans swimming in circles. I want him to be like that agin! Guess i gotta wait til the warmer weather comes around and see what happens. Lame turtle.

On a different note, Wyatt finally got his fourth bottom tooth in. He had three for soooo long. No fuss about it or anything. Sometimes I just love that kid! His new favorite thing is nodding his head and saying uh-huh! Its so cute. Sometimes I just ask him a question just to hear him say it. He calls Nemo "emu". Shark is pronounced "ush". Wiggles is "ess". Hahaha In other words he has a hard time saying complete words haha but he tries. O and Bye is pronounced "Duh" hahaha he is so funny. When Jack first started talking everything was so clear. So its been a struggle to figure out what Wyatt is saying. The lisp doesnt help either and most of his sentences end with "ass".

Jackson has been hilarious lately. He has started talking with his "guys" and when he plays with his army guys or his motocross guys he has full on conversations between them . "Hey buddy, how are you?" "O im ok today, I hurt my arm" "Oh are you ok? OK good" O its so funny. I will stop everything Im doing just to listen to him. Its so cute. Anyways, just a few new things around here.... O and stay tuned for the Fitch twins either tomorrow or thursday, she is finally getting induced tomorrow! 38 weeks!!!! So excited!

Jacks 1st Sleepover!

Saturday morning, despite being hungover, I picked the kids up at 830am and came home to sit my butt on the couch for a little bit. Luke left at 1130 to go to Supercross with a bunch of work people. By the way, it was 80's night there so of course, Luke being Luke, put on the most hitious retro 80s outfit he had to wear for the occassion. So glad I wasnt going with him. Poor John had to be so embarrassed. At 1130 the rest of us went next door for Brendens 3rd birthday party. It was a hockey party so Jackson was totally into it. They played hockey, rode bikes, ate pizza, had cake, opened presents. And did I mention my kids were the CRANKIEST EVER!!! O my gosh. As soon as Brenden was done opening presents we were out the door to go take naps. They were awful!! I was so happy to finally get them to sleep.

Finally about 6pm, Jen and Robert dropped Radyn off at our house so the boys could have their first "real" sleepover. Jack has stayed over there before for weekends when Luke and I have been outta town but they had never had a real big boy sleepover. Jen at first didnt know if Radyn would be ok with the fact he was actually sleeping at our house. Boy was she wrong. He was ecstatic! He wanted to bring his tent and sleeping bag too. He got here and I ordered some pick up stix for dinner. The two of them wanted nothing to do with eating so I finally made them eat at least a little bit before they ran back upstairs to play again. Sidenote... funny story. Radyn had to go potty so Jack wanted to go too, so they are both standing there peeing in the toilet and Jack looks down at Radyns you know what and says "Whoa, you have a big weiner!" I fell to the floor laughing. BOYS!! Anyways, They played forever. They even let Wyatt play with them and were so nice to him. Dont mind the fact that Wyatt kept hitting them, punk. I finally put Wyatt to bed about 845pm and got Jackson and Radyn ready for bed as well. Then I set up their tent in the playroom (right in front of the tv) with their sleeping bags and pillows. Made them a big bowl of popcorn and plopped them both inside to eat and watch Shark Tale. They ate the entire bowl (then asked for more!). Finally it got to be 11pm and the movie was over. I was dreading bedtime, thinking both of them would be playing or one wouldnt want to sleep in the tent or something would go wrong. So i said "Ok boys time for bed" and they both answered me with an "OK" and layed down rolled over and closed their eyes. I sighed in relief. I went downstairs to get myself ready for bed and about 5 minutes later walked back upstairs and they were both sound asleep! SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!! I went to my bed and passed out watching Jackass 2 almost immediately. Nobody even woke up in the middle of the night. I finally heard from them at 745am. Not too shabby. Wyatt was still asleep so I brought them downstairs to eat waffles and after scarfing their breakfast they went right back upstairs to play again. They had so much fun, Jack was so upset when Radyn got picked up. But it was a successful one! I was a little scared at first. Thought it would be total chaos come 11pm!!

Birthdays Again!

Yet another fun filled weekend. On friday night I dropped the boys and Kylee at my parents to spend the night while we went to Friends sports bar in Dove Canyon to celebrate Jeff and Bmoes birthdays. We went early with them for dinner and the food was delicious. They had homemade potato chips that were AMAZING! Everyone else came after dinner for drinks and to just hang out. The bar is actually really nice and it was pretty crowded, considering its brand new. Saw sooo many people I havent seen in a LONG time. It was fun and I think the boys had a great birthday (it was obviosu the next day when they couldnt move)..... Anyways, happy birthday Jeff and Brian!!

Time for a Haircut?

So Luke seems to think Wyatt needs his first haircut! What do you think??? I am totally against this idea. Here is why.

1. Luke forced me to shave Jacksons cute baby curls off after he turned two, and his hair turned coarse and gross and now has to be kept well shaved or it is nasty. His curls were so cute, especially when he wore a hat. I miss them :(

2. If we shaved Wyatts head (which is what he wants to do) it would look ridiculous. Its only super long on the top, the sides are short, its really weird. He kinda has an old man comb-over. So I dunno how it would be with bare sides. Weird.

3. If this is going to be my last baby (which its about 99.9% chance that it will be) I gotta hang on to the baby part as long as I can. End of story.

4. I still want to see if his will get cute and curly like jacksons cuz its honestly the cutest hair EVER!!!!!

Sooooo.. help me out here! Him and his friend John almost shaved it friday night while i was gone. He would have been so dead. I love his hair. Its not unbearable, and he doesnt look like a girl, yet.

Monster Jam!!

On Saturday night Luke and I took the kids to see Monster Jam at Angel Stadium. He bought 6 tickets.... 3 for us (Wyatt was free) and three for the Badrauns (Boston was free). We all met Tyler and his girlfriend Camden there in the parking lot and had sandwiches and snacks and some beers (Luke bought Pabtsts Blue Ribbon in attempt to be as whitetrash as possible). The boys all brought their scooters and skateboards to ride in the parking lot so that kept them busy for a long time. Ambra and Dustin and the kids showed up too right before we went in. Finally at 730 we went in. The older boys dragged me and Jen to our seats, literally running up the ramps to get there, while the little ones were on dads' shoulders. We got there just in time. The kids were in awe. Radyn hated the loud part of it but smart Jen brought ear plugs for them, Jack wouldnt wear them but I knew he wouldnt, he never does at stuff like that. Wyatt I finally put them on cuz he was getting scared everytime a truck revved up. It was so cool though. I had never been. The truck races were cool but the best part was the freestyle at the end when all the trucks were going crazy and flipping over and smoking. It was really neat. However I think MY favorite part was the trailer races. Sooo hilarious. They took these old beat up cars and attached old beat up trailers with something old and beat up on the trailer and these cars raced around the dirt slamming into each other and making all their stuff fly off their trailers. Pieces of old boats, trailer parts, tires and remains of the beat up cars were flying all over the track. At one point on of the cars drove up onto one of the trailers and the guy was hauling this car around. I think only 3 cars out of like 10 ended up finsihing the race and not crashing or blowing up haha. It was awesome. I laughed so hard. Wyatt finally crashed on my lap about 945, out cold, literally drooling on my chest under blankets and sweatshirts with his beanie over his face. Cant believe he slept through that. It was really cool and the kids had alot of fun. Radyn and Boston are the same age as my boys so they are always into the same things and its nice for all of us that they each have a buddy. Not to mention both sets of boys are exactly alike. Radyn and Jack are the sweet kids, so good (most of the time) and then Boston and Wyatt are the holy terrors. Everything, from their attitudes down to their body styles, are so alike its scary! Anyways, I think the four of us parents decided to make this an annual tradition with our boys! Lots of cute pictures to share with you....
Wyatt, Radyn, Boston and Jackson having their own parking lot party...
Wyatt playing with Travis (slapping him in the face actually)
Then they made up and went for a ride...

How cool is it that these cars just kept slamming into each other and smoking everywhere... just thoght it was a cool picture, had to share!

They pretty much loved Monster Jam!

Garys Fun!

So for the last couple weeks I had noticed Gary was digging in a planter in the corner of the backyard, same little corner for like three weeks. I had kept going out to see what it was becuase he doesnt dig unless he is digging for something specific. Well everytime I went out there I saw nothing, until a few days ago. I spotted something in the planter, in the same little corner he keeps going for. So I walked out back and saw a box, a wooden box that he apparentely cracked in half or something during his escapade. I picked it up and dusted it off a bit and noticed there was a bag inside. Then I tried reading the inscription on the side of the box. Finally I was able to make out the words, and read this "OUR BELOVED PET" ?!?!??!?!?! OK GROSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I immediately threw the box back into the planter and wanted to go throw up. Then I just started laughing hysterically. No wonder the dog kept digging, he knew there was something there. Something dead by the way!!! Ughhhh, so nasty! So apparentely there is a pet cemetary in the backyard. Keep in mind this house is only four years old, so this is a pretty fresh pet, ughhhh ( I have the chills right now). Ya, so gross... yet so hilarious I just couldnt go without telling this story!

3 Years.. Going On 30

You know how everyone always say their kids grow up way too fast? Well here are a few prime examples.... This kid cracks me up.


1. I think it was xmas eve (how i waited so long to tell this story is totally beyond me) and we were putting the kids in the car to go to my parents house. They had both just woken up and were pretty groggy. I strapped Jack in and walked around to do Wyatt, when all of a sudden Jack starts yelling "Theres something wrong with my weiner, theres something wrong with my weiner!" Im thinking I clicked his car seat buckle on his dinga ling or something. I go over there and un buckle him and he is still in a state of fluster and wont stop squirming. Finally I just unzipped his jeans and pulled his underwear down to find that he just had simple case of morning wood! HAHA He was so confused and so worried. I just about died. I could only tell my poor three year old with a hard on that it would just go away. HAHA Luke and I were dying. 3 going on 7!

2. A few days ago I had just put Wyatt down for a nap and told Jackson it was his turn. Nap time is easy in this house, they dont usually fight me on it. Well today, Jack did his normal "But im not tired mom!" as he marched into the bathroom for a quick release before bed time. When he was done he grabbed his Mimi and walked down the hall to his bedroom. When we got to his door he walked in and shut the door in my face, not saying a word. Not slamming it or anything, just simply shut the door. He didnt even want me to tuck him in. After he shut the door I cracked it just enough to watch him and watched him climb into bed, lay down and put the covers over himself. He didnt want me to tuck him in, or read him a book or even say goodnight... ?!?!?! Again 3 going on 10!
3. Well just a few minutes ago, I was in my room folding laundry and I hear Jackson yelling "MOM! I need toilet paper! MOMMMMM!!!!" over and over again. I was cracking up. SO funny to listen to your three year old yelling that to you. I just kept picturing me doing that to my mom. So i grabbed him a roll and went into the bathroom to give it to him and he says "Hi mom, I just took a sh@t." HAHAHHAHAHA Are you serious?!?! What three year old says that, and so casually, like it was just no big deal. After scolding him for saying that I walked outta the bathroom with tears in my eyes because it was so hilarious. He is so his fathers child. Like I said 3 going on 20!

Birthday Shout outs!!

I couldnt go the next few days without a couple of birthday shout outs!! Unfortunately I had no pictures from these parties! So this cute kid covered in cake will have to do!! This past Sunday was Shannons birthday, the big 2-8! We celebrated with a small group of us at their house on saturday... we all brought stuff for tacos and rice and beans and made margaritas. After dinner we played catch phrase which was actually really fun. Unfortunately Luke wasnt there most of the night, he and Ethan went to Supercross in the rain! He finally showed up about 11pm, just long enough for a round of catch phrase and just in time to help me get the kids in the car. Thats right, the kids came with me. They were super good, they love going to Shannon and Jareds. Shannons usually got special things for Jackson too so he likes it even more! But it was fun.... and Shannon had a happy birthday! Last night was my friend Erins birthday. The big 2-6! A group of us went to Kings fish house for dinner (took forever with 20 people)! I love their food... She was showered with cards and presents and then I ate half of her halibut cuz it was way better than my food! haha... We used to go to Kings all the time for her birthday, usually with her parents when we were in high school and probably shortly after too. So it was fun that she picked this place. Anyways... just had to wish my girls a happy birthday!! Hope this year is a great one for them both! Happy Birthday!!!

O and PS. Some of you may have gotten the wrong idea with my Wyatt post... I AM NOT BABY HUNGRY!!!! NO MAS! Dont expect another one outta me!!! I have plenty of them coming right now, and I can give them all back woooooohooooo!!! Speaking of which, keep your eye out for a post soon on the birth of the Fitch twins... she goes to the dr today and I am almost certain they will admit her and get it going, she is 36 weeks, and last week was pretty close! So cross your fingers for her!! Cant wait for these babies!!

A Year and A Half!!

Wyatt just went in for his 18 month check up... crazy how time flies. He isnt a baby anymore, he is a real kid :( Its so depressing! We went to his check up and got all his new stats... he was 24lbs (25th%) and 31 inches (also 25th%) with a dome of 18 inches (50th%). So he is pretty average, little smaller than average. He was so good though. The dr even said he was one of the most well behaved 18 month olds he had seen (i told him to come home with me then try making that statement!).. Dr Ball also came in with a new book, that just happened to be dinosaurs, like he knew Wyatt like the back of his hand. Every check up the kids get a book, its to encourage parents to read to them (and Im sure also enjoy going to the DR). I love our pediatrician! He said he looked great and was growing like a weed! The nurse gave him four shots. The first two in one arm, Wyatt barely flinched. Then when I turned him around to do the other two he started wailing, which made his brother cry as well. It was so sad. Jack was so concerned! Even before we left I told him we were taking Wy to the dr and he says to me "WHY? He has enough blood?" I dunno where that came from but he was really concerned that Wyatt had to see a dr. It was cute. Anyways, When we left they both got dinosaur stickers so they were happy on the way home. Mommy was kinda sad that her baby wasnt a baby anymore though :(

CHOMPER!!!

So get this... I really wish I would have taken a picture of this horrific episode but I didnt. So Im downstairs and all the sudden I hear a bloody murder scream upstairs... its Wyatt, who doesnt cry like that unless he is really hurt. Well i sprint upstairs like a freakin ostrich my strides are so long thinking he has broken a bone or gashed himself. Well as I reach the top stair I watch Jacksons little feet fly behind the couch and into his hiding spot. Totally gave himself away that he had done something to his brother. I pick up Wyatt who is screaming, but I see no blood and he his flailing his body around so I am assuming nothing is broken. Finally I ask Jack "What happened?" and he replies with "wyatt bonked me on the head with a basket!" REALLLLLY!?!?!?! Well i drilled him over and over again til I got the real truth outta him... "I bit him!" Um,,, what?!?! My three and a half year old BIT my one year old!! Is this for real? Apparentely Wyatt hit Jackson over the head with a basket and jackson retaliated by biting him in the cheek!!!!!! He had a full on bite mark on his cheek/chin! It was open mouth too so it looked like jaws had attacked him! Poor guy. So I sent jackson to time out... and when I got him outta time out I told him if he ever did that again he would get soap in his mouth and he says "But I dont like soap mom!" DUHHHH... thats my point! Which i dunno how he even realized he didnt like soap, he has never been forced fed it before. I kept telling him that though and he was so disturbed, and said over and over again "But i dont like soap mom." Well at least he knows he doesnt like it so IM praying that he wont bite again cuz he knows soap will be in his mouth! Ughhh my 3 year old bit my 1 year old, if anything I thought it would be the other way around.....

Still Amused

So even after a few weeks with all their new toys, the boys still havent gotten bored. Thank goodness. Its amazing what a few (or alot of) new toys can do to a kid. Since its been raining and we havent gone outside their toys and new movies are keepin them busy. Wyatts rocking elephant keeps him occupied alot. His new favorite thing his putting his new HUGE life size doll on it with him and rock, which I shouldnt say, but looks absolutely dirty. Luke and I die laughing, i have to get it on video so I can show him someday. Another new favorite in this house is Jacks new army stuff, complete with two tankers, a very large helicopter, a lookout cabin and guys and guns galore. Guns arent my favorite but I guess its part of playing army dudes. He now knows most of the lines in TMNT (the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie) and will watch it 5 times in a row no questions asked. His favorite turtle is "Leo the blue one". Wyatt got a new Land before time video which suprisingly catches his attention pretty well (unlike Jack, the only thing this kid will watch, i mean really watch, is the Wiggles). Oh and we cant forget the 500 dinosaurs Wy got... i feel like I live in Jurassic Park. They are pretty happy in their playroom these days, which as busy as we have been with organizing, taking down xmas, cleaning up after parties and of course the rain, has been a wonderful thing!!

News Years Eve Party

So New Years was crazy... not the crazy your thinking of tho! We decided to have a few people over to the house.. mostly the ones with kids cuz no one was really doing anything. We made a big mexican fiesta, tacos, rice and beans, chips and guac. It was delicious, so much food we ate all the way til 330am when we finally went to bed. Everyone cacme over around 630, and from 630-10pm this house was mad chaos! We had I think 12-15 kids here, mostly boys between the ages of 18months and 5. CHAOS! Not like we dont usually have that many kids around, but for some reason they were nuts!!! And the porr girls didnt even know what to do with al these crazy boys! The girls were the oldest too so I kept telling them they were in charge, which I found hilarious cuz they didnt even know where to begin trying to control these boys! We tried locking them on the third floor with movies and toys but someone was constantly coming downstairs to tell on someone or get food or crying with a black eye. It was nuts. Finally after 10pm, the babies including Wy went to sleep and the older kids finally calmed down. We played a new game called NAQ, pretty fun. Made pomegranite martinis and rang in the new year. At some point during the night Luke ended up putting on his hitious Vanilla Ice costume from a few Haloweens ago (he tends to do this when we have parties and he has enough to drink!) It was hilarious, some people had never seen it before either which made it all that more funny! Mind you, this ridicuous get-up says "WORD TO YOUR MOTHER" on the back, in GOLD SEQUENCE! EWWW! It was fun, and mellow, which is what we were all shooting for this year I think. Jackson didnt go to sleep til 130am and then he and Wy were up at 7am. Can you say NEW YEARS DAY WAS A NIGHTMARE!!! We were beat, and hungover, and when we finally put the kids down I ended up napping and so did Luke and we spent the rest of the day doing NOTHING!!!! Anyways, regardless, it was a great way to ring in 2008!!

Day of New Toys

Luke decided this past weekend it was time to clean the garage, especially since the kids got so much new stuff for xmas, bikes, balls, toys, that all needed to be stored in there. Plus it was full of empty boxes and trash from xmas. It took him forever. Jack and I went to the grocery store (I hadnt been for a serious grocery run in probably a month and a half cuz we were NEVER home) so we were gone for almost two hours. Poor Jack left the grocery store not even able to sit in the cart cuz it was so full. So ridculous, he kept saying "Mom this is CRAZY!!!" He told the lady at the store who was bagging our groceries that he HATES grocery shopping cuz mom takes so long. HAHA By the time we got home Luke was just finishing up and the four of us ate some lunch and went outside to play.

Luke attempted to get Jack on his new bike (this kid rides a razor like a crazy person, AND is about to master a skateboard but cant figure out how to pedal a bike?!?!? WHATTTT!????). After about 5 minutes of total frustration, Jackson was in tears. He hated that he couldnt figure it out. He hopped on his scooter instead. Ughhhh... hopefully he gets it soon. I tried yesterday and it was a little bettter but after 5 minutes of forcing him to try he broke down on me. I honestly think Wyatt will learn how to ride it quicker than Jackson will. Wyatt loves sitting on the thing and I guarantee if his little feet could touch the pedals he would be hauling butt down the street!

Wyatt played with all his new toys, but his favorite was still his OLD quad. And lucky for us we got him a helmet because he tried going up the roundabout and popped a wheely and landed on the back of his head. I screamed, like a high pitch scare me to death scream. Wyatt just got up and back on and kept riding. Thank god for helmets!!Aye yae yae. He even has figured out now, instead of when he runs in to a curb or cant get it up a driveway, to get off and pull it to wear he wants it. (PS he still hasnt mastered turning the thing). He also loves skateboards. I hate him getting anywhere near the thing though without a helmet cuz who knows what that kid will pull.
They also got a HUGE ball, like a handball from Santa which I wish I had pictures of. I spent most the day we were out there trying to peg it at Luke as he raced Wyatt around the cul de sac in the wagon, luckily I never hit Wyatt cuz it would have knocked the kid out. haha We unwrapped their new soccer set and they played forever. Jackson is actually kinda studly when it comes to soccer. Wyatt just loved playing in the net and boy did that piss his brother off!!
All and all it was like xmas all over again when we unwrapped all their outside toys. They loved it.
