The Big Event-2nd tooth pulled!

RA Racer

Sunday was the yearly RA Racer event. The boys and their dads do their best to build the fastest and coolest car together. Jonah won 1st 3 times out of 4 heats! Not bad!

Motorcycle Jumps

More Riding

We spent last Saturday at a friend's house who has a professional dirt bike track. Here are just a few pics of the day. We have many more to come....but wanted to start with this. ENJOY!


This is Jonah on the Track.



This is little man. He did not get on the track..it was a little overwhelming for him. So, he stuck to the open field by the track.



Here is mama and little man on the track! Jadon's look of boredom would be from mom's lack of speed. He complained that I didn't go fast enough. But, as you can tell by the lovely smile on my face that we are going a nice speed that brought much joy.(for me anyway) Cut me some slack....the girl in pink got on the track for goodness sake!


And yes...this is the boys crazy daddy. I don't claim him here. I'd rather pretend that he doesn't do things like this. I have to remind him that he is nearly 40 and not a teenager any more. But, if I did claim him in these moments....oh baby! WOW!

Conversation

Last week I received a phone call in the morning after having already dropped the boys off at the school. When I answered the phone I heard Jadon on the other line and he sounded very upset. I was immediately scared thinking something bad had happened or that maybe he was ill. (the stomach bug is running rampant in these parts) Here is how the conversation went.

Me: Hello

Jadon: Mommy.... (sad and upset tone)

Me: Hi darlin....what's a matter?

Jadon: I forgot to brush my teeth this morning.

Me: Oh honey....it's ok. We'll brush them as soon as you get home.

Jadon: No, mommy...you have to come get me and take me home so I can brush my teeth!

Me: Really, baby.....it's ok. You'll be fine till after school.

Jadon: (tone escalating) Mommy I can't be at school with my teeth dirty! Please come get me NOW!!

Me: Well ok....how about I come to the school and bring your tooth brush and you can brush your teeth there?

Jadon: Ok, but hurry.

I think this is the cutest thing. It bothers Jadon if he forgets to brush his teeth. Jonah could go a week and he wouldn't even think about it. I thought it was so funny, because the teacher knows that when Jadon complains about something that it is serious and that she had better act fast or his emotions get out of control. So, she had let him call me from her cell phone in class.
