The latest.....
We went to the fair and Brayden rode a mechanical bull....
He did a good job until it started going faster, then he screamed, "Turn it off!" I tried to talk him into doing the muttin bustin', but there was no way. My nephew, Keegan did, I heard he held on for 3 seconds, we weren't there to see it though. Those kids are brave, and clueless! I was laughing so hard (mostly inappropriately because the kids had no idea what their parents had signed them up for). The ranch guys would pick them up after they flew off the sheep and dirt/poop/nastiness would just flow from their helmets!
We celebrated Auntie Sarah and Great-Grandma's B-day....
Sadly nothing has changed in this arena. Ellie is able to change her twin sister's bum. Isn't there something really wrong with that? This does not phase Dani one bit.....look how tall she is, the diapers barely fit around her. Maybe one day she will look at this and admit that she is the most stubborn thing that I have EVER met!
Last weekend we ventured out into a rain storm! There was a free kids bike race at the park and I thought the kids would love it. They all did great, it went way better than I had anticipated. Ellie and Dani were in the 5 and under group with training wheels. I think there were about 9 girls in the race and Ellie WON! I was cracking up, she took off at the start and never looked back! She had determination and drive on her face, her little legs clad in rain boots kept on pedaling, she crossed the finish line and kept on riding, she had no clue what was going on. She is my competitor though! Dani trucked right along and got THIRD! She went at her own leisurely pace, which was faster than the other girls' leisurely pace and made it all the way through! I was a proud Mama!
Listening to the rules and directions, look at how clueless they all are! Half of them haven't even lined up to race, they're just hanging out in the grass still.
Ellie taking her lead!
Dani cruising behind her.
We waited 45 minutes for the 6 year olds to race next. It was down pouring, but B was determined to race. They had a longer course, part of it was in the grass and they had to do 2 laps. Poor B's tires are so bald and worn, I was surprised he was able to move in the grass at all. There were boys there ready to race. They had the bike gear, and mtn. bikes. Sweet Brayden was thrilled because he had the only bike with fire on it! I was thinking 'yeah, that's because we got it at Walmart 2 years ago and it's way too small for you and any of these kids here.' But he doesn't know the difference and he's just not quite tall enough for the next size.

Did Brayden make/decorate the B'day cake??
So does this mean that Ellie is trained AND changing Dani's diaper! Dang, you could just leave her in charge and go out to coffee by yourself!
