mum mum

This is a picture of Ryan and his younger brother Dan on Ryan's first motorcycle


and here is a picture of Paxton with his first motorcycle. YES, we purchased a motorcycle today. You have to understand why we feel that this is important. In my opinion this kid is going to be interested in bikes no matter what. He already loves them, but look at his Dad and his uncles...

JP, Ryan, Aaron and Dan (Dan is the little one in the first picture)
These boys try to go on motorcycle trips every year. The first picture was at Lake Tahoe and the second is a ride they went on to Yosemite. We have decided that the earlier we get Paxton started, the safer and the better he will be at riding. I know too many people who don't begin riding until they are older and without training and they end up hurt. This way we can teach him how to ride properly and safely.
This kid is awesome too, with no fear (which I might add, puts a little bit of fear into Mommy). He can't say motorcycle yet, so mum mum is what Pax calls it. We had so much fun today! Ryan and Paxton both had perma grins as they took off around the field.

This is my favorite picture. Here you see Ryan in full sprint, and this thing is only in first gear.

Oh my gosh, I LOVE IT!! Hahaha, my husband will freak out when he sees this. He has been talking about getting Cache a little motorcycle to ride around on this Summer. I still worry that he might be too young, but I cannot get over how cute your little son looks on that thing! So cute, I love it. And just a little side note, is it OK if I tell you that your husband is quite a dish? Nice work, Whit!
