dirtbike mania

i might have mentioned earlier, that dodge can now ride the honda 50 all by himself now. it is so cute to watch...if you know him, he always wants to be "big" like everyone else...and if he "can't" do something, he takes it real personal...so, it is pretty cool.

we then realized, we need to keep our eye open for something a little bigger for dawson. we've always told the boys that they need to save their money for their first car, or maybe a "big" dirtbike...one night we sat and counted all of dawsons money - whether he came by it honest, or not ;) (you see, doug's coin jar mysteriously keeps getting emptier, instead of filling up ;))

anyway, doug came home with this honda 80 one night, dawson was so excited...for days after, he kept asking me how much daddy spent, so he could pay him back....he has such a good heart!

love at first sight

the boys all geared up!

dawson caught on real fast to using a clutch...this is where we practice - between blendon cemetary and the fire barn...

he looks so big on that bike!

doug teaching dawson the ropes...you are such a good dad, doug!! when i see moments like this, my heart melts!

one thing i have to mention, too. we have been so blessed with all the dirtbike gear. the clothes, helmets, boots and protective stuff is NOT cheap!! we've come across some real generous people that have either given us a really good deal on it, or just plain GIVEN it to us! i am very grateful for that!!
