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!

Hey Rob!
It's Kimmy....I Love your Blog Site!! Its great to see how well you and your family are doing!! You have a knack for writing!
I cant believe how much Scott looks like you. That photo of Scott's chin...I had to reread because I thought it was a picture of you! Love the video of the two of them dancing!!
Adam is just a cutie. My Adam...who is 15 now...throws right handed and bats left too! Back when he played baseball he would walk up to the plate in tears. They have the kids start pitching here in Amherst at the ripe old age of 7....well Adam being a lefty was picked off at EVER first pitch!! Didn't take long for him to figure out that soccer is way more fun to play then having baseballs thrown at you!! Age 7 (mid season) was the end of his baseball career! To bad too...he was really good!
They grow fast. Enjoy every minute of it because before you know it you too will be holding a Graduation Party in your back yard....and sending them off to college!! Whimper-Whimper!
