What a day!

We officially have a bike rider in the family. Daxton rode without training wheels for the first time at Doo-Doo and papa Bob's house. Grandpa took the wheels off of his bike so he would glide while pushing with his feet. Once he got comfortable with that we put the pedals on and away he went. He has a rough time starting off though and gets really frustrated because he can't grasp the concept that the bike needs to be moving to balance. He thinks he should be able to balance while just sitting there. We laughed our heads off because he blamed all his frustration on Stratton. If Stratton was anywhere nearby it was his fault Daxton couldn't get going. The madder Dax got the more it was Stratton's fault.

We are at grandmas because Damon is elk hunting. Daelun got an archery tag and so just the men went. Today when we went swimming Dax said " Doo-Doo this water makes my tallywhacketr hurt". It was cold!

I am on cloud 9 because I bought an island for our "kitchen to be" in Pima. It's 12x5' brazilian mesquite butcher block on top of black stained cabinets. It was selling for $900 and I got them down to $600. It's so beautiful. Makes me really excited to start building. I also ran into an old friend from high school, Michelle Burnham Garn. It's been almost 20 years since I saw her. Why do we have to get old?
