I am my mother.




Jake found a little four-wheeler for Josh and the girls this week. But mostly for Josh and him to play and do a little boy bonding with.. the only catch was it wasn't running so I wasnt too worried. But today after Josh and Jake were out in the garage for a few hours I heard the motor revin' up. Josh came in with his helmet on yelling "It's all fixed it it's done. " I went out side to see Jake already gone on the wheeler... just testing it out. When he got back it was Josh's turn and that's when I turned into my mother. I just could NOT Believe that Jake was just going to let him get on it and drive. Jake just looked at me and said "RELAX" he will be fine..... and he was surprising enough but I still had a big old knot in my stomach and was so nervous for my little boy. Then Jake decided to take Josh down the ROAD yes he had to ride by himself on the road. I told Jake that I did not think that was such a good idea. again I was told to relax and how he was driving cars when he was eight.. so they went and I followed in the van with a cell phone and Jake's EMT bag. AND they were fine Josh did well and when he got off he said "Man, that was sweet, I love that thing like a brother." And thats good because thats all he might get.

Did it Rain?




We went out to dinner last night and went we got home this was our street. We didnt even get to see the rain fall but the kids did get to play in the water and the monsoon brought it down to 95 degrees out so that was nice too. I made Jake go with the kids and pose so I could show you just how deep the water was and it was all pretty much gone this morning.
