These Are The Days Of Our Lives

Life with children can be so very interesting sometimes. Here’s a picture of how I found Braden watching tv last night. Sitting on his sister’s bed wearing his play safety goggles.
This was also after we had a very interesting talk on the ride home from daycare. It went something like this… “Alright Mommy, here’s the deal. When we get home you’re going to take the little wheels off my bicycle. Then you and daddy are going to get in daddy’s truck and go to the motorcycle store. You and daddy are going to get a little motorcycle for me and put it in the back of daddy’s truck. Me and Kendall are going to wait on you. Then you’re going to bring it home for me to ride on when I can ride my bicycle like a big boy.” Ha! I was officially cracking up by the end of his little speech. He’s been begging for a motorcycle for several months now and I’ve told him that little boys that still need training wheels on their bikes aren’t big enough for motorcycles. Apparently though, if he learns to ride his bike without training wheels I’m going to be stuck trying to figure out how to buy him one of those little dirt bikes! He even told me what color to get. He wants a black and white one. Obviously I’m not thrilled with the idea of my 4 year old getting a dirt bike, but I’ll probably end up getting him something like that around 6 or 7. I officially understand how parents spoil their children. They want something SO bad and you want SO bad to be able to get it for them.
Quick family updates: Josh has training in AZ at the end of this month. Just for a week, but I hate it when he’s gone, so I’m not looking forward to this one. Brady’s birthday is less than 3 weeks away now. His birthday party is 3 weeks and 2 days from now. And his first day of school is less than 5 weeks away. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself! I can’t believe my first baby is going to school. It makes me so sad to think about it. And soon Kendall will be starting sixth grade. Going into sixth grade and I think she’s already taller than me! When did that happen!? They are both getting so big, and time just seems to fly by.
Also, please keep us in your prayers. We’re constantly trying to do little things to our house so that sooner (rather than later) we’ll be able to put our house on the market. It’s long overdue and it’s been a painstakingly slow process, especially since the economy tanked. It’s definitely set us back about 2-3 years. Yeah, we definitely, definitely need prayers.
