New bike

Scott sporting his new bike! He loves it. We got it a couple of weeks ago. Thanks G and Papa. Shayla and I were talking about how much the boys have changed lately. Scott is riding a bike, going underwater at the pool with no problems. Adam is talking more than just 1 or 2 words at a time, he is staying in the nursery at church and willing to be away from mommy and daddy, he is counting to 13 and loosely saying his ABC's. What a great time to be a parent. They are both going to school in 3 weeks, Shayla to. Now if we can find them a job, they can help out around here. I almost forgot, Scott tested for his yellow stripe belt on Tuesday and passed. That is one proud boy. I am prouder though! Adam is soaking a lot of it in just watching them. How fun!

WAX ON, WAX OFF

Run! That is all I can say. We have entered the martial arts field. Scott has started taking Tae Kwon Do classes. What a hoot! Have you ever seen 15 4-5 year old have a seizure all at once? I thought I did but it was Scott's first class. And the yelling, to funny. When Adam goes with us he yells back at them. Almost like he knows what they are saying. He has been going for a week now and has 2 tips on his belt. Mean anything to you? Me either, but he is close to getting a yellow stripe belt. we practice at home and the entire family is involved. The yelling is the same but now it is positive yelling. I think Adam will be a black belt before his first class. Scott's school is having a group come here from Korea to do a demo. He and I are going to go. It should be fun. If anyone has any good martial art stories, we would love to hear them. Very good Danielson!

Wheels!

My latest funny conversation with Scott: As we were eating I asked him if he could spell "Banana". After sounding it out and a little help he made it. Then I asked him if he could spell "Nana" and he said "No but I can spell Mississippi".

Well, we got the great idea to take Scott down to the field in our park and let him try to ride his bike without training wheels! We tried one other time about 1 year ago. That was not good. Anyway he wanted to try so lets see what he can do. Him and I got there, I took off the training wheels, put every piece of safety equipment on him we could (I couldn't find safety glasses that fit him) got him sitting on the bike and push....gone like the wind! My first thought was we waited too long to do this. My second thought was I didn't teach him how to stop. It didn't matter, he just rode and rode and rode. By the time Shayla and Adam got to the park, Scott was on lap three. He got so excited, I mean I got so excited, I couldn't stand it. Adam and Shayla was cheering for him and his face was priceless. He looked like someone shoved a lemon in his mouth at 100 mph. These are videos of two days later. We are headed to a little cookout at Michael and Kay's for the 4th of July. In Scott's second video listen to the sound effects of the brakes at the end. Adam wanted to get in the mix so he decided to start riding a big boy scooter. He usually just carries it around. They both have grown up a lot lately. Adam got another hair cut. This time it only sounded like we were cutting an arm off, not killing him.

As for the other pic. I am proud to see my son practicing a trade I have put a lot of effort into perfecting. Man that looks like a good day! I wonder what he was watching before he went out? Probably Barney or Boz. The bad part was he had a stinky diaper and Shayla had to change him and lay him back down without waking him. She's good, of course he didn't wake up. Well it is time for me to assume the position, let me get the remote!
