HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.....TO YOU? WHAT ABOUT ME?

I THINK THIS PICTURE EPITOMIZES THE PHRASE "A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS."

LAST SATURDAY (3/7/09), WE CELEBRATED MIKE'S 40TH BIRTHDAY. MADALYNN WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ACTION......THE LOOK ON HER FACE CLEARLY TELLS THE STORY........"WHERE'S MY CAKE?"

TRAVIS PASTRANA LOOKOUT - HERE COMES DILLON!

WELL, AFTER A NEW CARB, BATTERY, THROTTLE CABLE, START SOLENOID, 2 CANS OF SPRAY PAINT AND A SHEET OF DALLAS COWBOYS DECALS, (NOT TO MENTIONED COUNTLESS LABOR HOURS FROM A FRIEND) THE "FREE" ATV IS FINALLY IN THE DIRT. LAST SUNDAY (3/8/09) WE TOOK DILLON OUT FOR HIS FIRST RIDE. HE WAS REALLY CAUTIOUS AT FIRST. AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF RIDING, HE STARTED TO SHOW SOME CONFIDENCE. WE'RE HOPING THE CAUTIOUSNESS REMAINS - IT WOULD BE A LOT WORSE IF HE WAS A CARELESS, WILD-MAN ON IT!

IT'S FUN GETTING NEW STUFF...... BUT THE "NEW CAR SMELL" DOES EVENTUALLY WEAR OFF

THIS PAST SUNDAY MORNING MADALYNN AND I SPENT SOME QUALITY TIME TOGETHER. I PUT HER IN HER WALKER. HERE'S HOW SHE FELT ABOUT IT AT FIRST.....

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SHINE QUICKLY WORE OFF. ... THIS IS ABOUT 45 MINUTES LATER.......WHEN SHE REALIZED IT WASN'T SO MUCH FUN AFTER ALL. THE LOOK IS PRICELESS....ALMOST AS IF TO SAY "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?!?!? WHAT ELSE CAN THIS THING DO?"
