The DEW TOUR 2009

We bought tickets to the Dew Tour this year. For all of you who don't know what that is, it is like the Xtreme sports. Such as skateboarding, and BMX biking. My boys really like that stuff. We pulled a no school day and went off to see these sporting events. While we were there, Kylie and Corbin had the opportunity to learn how to ride motorcycles. They looked so cute getting dressed in all the gear.

This is Corbin riding all by himself. They gave him a couple of pointers and then he was off on his own. He did awesome! For never riding a motorcycle before, he did a great job. He picked it up right away. He never tipped over or crashed, it was smooth riding the whole way.

Here is Kylie, riding with one of the trainers. She was having a blast. She would wave at me every time she came around the circle. The guy riding with her did a wheelie and she didn't like that too much. She prefers to have her two wheels on the ground.

The kids are standing in front of the BMX track. This was the track where they would do all their flips and tricks. It was pretty cool. We saw a couple of guys fall right on their heads and not get back up for a few minutes. Good thing they all wear helmets.

Here they are at the skateboarding portion of the DEW TOUR. We had a fun day and hope to maybe go to the winter tour, where we can see the snowboarding, and skiing events. Good times, Great memories!

Kylie turns 4

Kylie turned 4 on the 4th of September. I tried to keep her party simple, so we had a slip and slide for them to play on. I had a feeling that they would only play on it for a little while and boy was I right. They only played on it for about 10 minutes, and they were ready for more things to do. Big problem though, I didn't really plan anything else. There was some major DRAMA going on and I was about ready to scream and we still had 1 hour and 45 minutes left of the party to go. I am finding more and more how much harder a little girl is.

We played a round of musical chairs. It didn't go so well though. Kylie had a complete melt down for some reason. I don't even know what her problem was, but that is how we ended musical chairs.

I procrastinated getting a cake for Kylie, so on the day of her party we went to Macey's to pick one out. They just had generic ones, so I started to feel bad because I didn't get one ordered. As we were looking for a cake that would work, our sweet neighbor who works there in the bakery saw us and asked if she could help us. I said we are just trying to pick out a cake for Kylie's party. She told me that she would be more than happy to make Kylie the one that she wanted. Kylie picked out the Little Mermaid. A big thank you goes out to our neighbor for giving Kylie the cake she wanted and doing it at the last minute. We had a couple of extra visitors when we sat down for cake. The missionaries were walking by so we invited them over for cake and ice cream. It was a hot day so they came over and had cake and ice cream with all these little 4 year old girls. It was cute. I should have taken a picture, but didn't think of it until they were gone.

Even though we had some drama, I am so happy to have this little girl in my life. She has me wrapped around her little finger. She sure keeps things interesting and exciting around here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLIE! We love you.
