Life is what you make of it. You can sit around and wait for tomorrow, or you can start living in today.

Mckay made it to 6!!!

So, Mckay made it yet another year! We were a little worried about what would happen this year. In 2005 he broke his foot. In 2006 he cut off the tip of his finger. In 2007 he rode on life flight because of a near drowning at Belmont Springs(Camperworld)! I really didn't know what to expect this year!
We made him a birthday cake that looks like a giant cupcake. It was so fun to make...It was even funner to eat!!!
We set up his birthday the night before. Doesn't it look perfect. If it would only last??!!

It didn't last. My kids are spoiled!!! We had so much fun watching him open his presents! Mckay would open each present and say, "I always wanted this so much!!" It was so cute!
Look at this little teenager! I hope that this is no indication as to how he is going to be in the future!! Future....!!?? This is how he is right now!! I'm in trouble!!??

Jason's Paint Job


Jason just got his bike painted a sparkley orange and it looks awesome. He has been waiting since February to get the pieces back from the shop, and it's finally a reality!! I guess I can't ride by his work anymore just to make him jealous. It was kind of fun to see his face when I rode up just to make sure that he saw me!...I know, mean huh!! Well, now we just need the sun to shine a little so we can go on a ride. The process...Isn't it sad??!!

Winter bla...bla...blahs


So, I don't know if anyone else has an addiction that pertains to warm weather and no snow, but I do. I have been waiting all winter for the weather to be warm enough to ride my Harley outside of Ephraim and Saturday was looking promising. We recruited five or so other people and planned our great escape for 11:00 Saturday morning. We didn't even get to the next town and it started to snow!! So not fun!!! When is it going to get warm? We still rode, because we're all a little crazy and we were still 20 minutes away from home.
Then, to make matters worse, I wake up this morning to, you guessed it, MORE SNOW!!! People, stop praying for moisture already!...well, for at least a couple of weeks. I guess when the hot summer days greet us, we will just complain about how hot it is, and wish for a little less hot and a little more cold. It's just a part of a bigger plan, and we should be happy to have the climate that we do..... Nope, it's still not convincing me! I'm still sick of the snow. It's been a long cold winter, and I'm ready for the warm sun and the open road!!
