We just had the best weekend ever up in Atlanta visiting Donnie's sister, Ursula, and her hubby, Keith. They are both big into motocross... in fact, Keith was a youth champion. So now all three of our boys have the motocross bug... and Donnie & I have caught it pretty bad as well.
Urs & Keith decided it would be best to start us out on the mini bikes, and gradually work us up to the bigger bikes. Even though they were small, they were pretty quick and took a little getting used to.
Kaleb just couldn't go fast enough!!!! Here he is with his Aunt Ursula.
Here's Mom, getting ready to give Kaleb a ride.
Keith is pretty ruthless on these bikes... but kept it pretty slow riding Kaleb... even though Kaleb BEGGED for him to go FASTER!!!!
Kaden and Ursula
Kaden had just as much fun riding as Kaleb did!!!
It turns out Sky is quite a natural on the bike... it didn't take him long as all to get used to it on the trail, taking some pretty tight turns. However, it'll be a while until he's able to give Uncle Keith a run for his money!! =) Sky loved riding SO much, he was outside riding in the dark on the trail behind their house for hours... long after the rest of us went inside.
It was REALLY cold on Saturday... it actually SNOWED on us, so we all had to bundle up!! But we had SO much fun!!!
Saturday night, we celebrated Keith's birthday. Ursula cooked the YUMMIEST roast and we totally pigged out!! Of course we saved room for birthday cake and loaded sundaes... yum!! Urs also got these really fun poppers... you pull on the sides until they pop, and out come cute little novelties. Each of them had a crown, the boys thought it was SO fun!!!
Here's Kaden & Kaleb playing on the seesaw in Urs & Keith's backyard. They thought it was so cool, that we needed to get one too! It was a lot warmer on Sunday, so we spent quite a few hours playing outside in the backyard, at the park kicking around the soccer ball... and of COURSE, some more riding!! In fact, Donnie, Sky & I rode until our rears were literally sore!! AND... we've decided to get some bikes!!
Ursula & I have gotten REALLY close... it's SO great to have them so close by!!
We didn't get home until Monday afternoon... as we were packing up, the younger two boys were literally crying because they didn't want to go home!! They can't wait for Urs & Keith to come down in a few weeks for their visit. Of COURSE, they're bringing their bikes so we can hit some trails down here. =)
I'm waiting on Ursula to send all the photos she took over the weekend... so I'll be adding those soon!!
A few weeks ago, Donnie went overseas and was lucky to be able to stop in Rota, Spain. They were there a few days and were able to take in a few sites. One of those stops was at the beach, of course. The trip was unnecessarily prolonged, a few days trip turned into a week and a half. Luckily, this little stop in Spain made it all worthwhile!
Would it make me sound jealous if I were to add, while Donnie was at the beach that day I was at the doctor's office with Skyler, who had progressed bronchitis and a sinus infection... AND was overwhelmed with writing three papers that week? Okay... forget about sounding jealous... I admit it, I am. But, who wouldn't be??
