This was ALL Jimmy's idea. He decided that the kids (Isaac) was ready for a real 4-wheeler. Isaac has used his battery powered (Jimmy suped it up with a lawnmower battery to make it go faster and longer) one for years...loved it, but has grown a little large for it Ashley basically drives it now.
We get the thing home. I tell Jimmy the kids NEED to have a helmet on and they need long pants and tennis shoes when they ride (Thanks Bobbi Jo...very smart!). I start to make diner with Jimmy giving them riding around the house. I hear a loud (excited!) scream look outside and see Isaac riding around ALL BY HIMSELF...and doing a GREAT job. It is one of those moments that you love as a mom. He was doing something that interested him and he was good at it. He even got the idea of shifting gears. I was sitting on the porch, smile on my face, feeling all warm inside watching my son have his moment when Jimmy yells "Oh No!" Isaac had rode over to the cement slab in front of the pole barn (which made him pick up speed) went to turn around the racing trailer when he saw Ashley (back up 2 hours when the rules were said...STAY AWAY FROM YOUR SISTERS! So he turned it directly into the CLOSED garage door. When he hit the door, the 4-wheeler kind of rode up opening the door. He crashed rest of the way through, landing on the back two tires and his back. Jimmy looked at me... I picked up my son and held him. He was fine...garage door not so good!
1 4-wheeler $400
1 garage door $800
Laughter of my 5 year old son PRICELESS!!!
A week later and he is still talking about CRASHING through the garage door. Gotta love boys...what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...say that to the garage door:)!

You are going to need to start a special fund for your property...you didn't yet mention the other mishap! :) Cute pic of the twins.
He does talk about his crash a lot over here too. He is all boy that is for sure.
I knew there was a reason that the Insurance Business was your calling.
Blog stalking right back at'cha. How funny to see people in an entirely different stage in life. You are obviously doing what you are meant to do. Your kid's are stinkin' GORGEOUS! Thanks for the kind words. Baby #4 is due early November and Jen is feeling fantastic. Still not sure if we are done. :) By all means continue stalking, we will do the same. It looks like you keep pretty busy.
Later.
