Jenson FINALLY gets his dirt bike!

Today was Jenson's 4th Birthday! Jenson was SO excited to go to the farm in his new gear that he thought was for the 4 wheeler...little did he know what was waiting in Poppy's "Bilo Barn". A few days ago, Cam and I took Jenson to Yamaha to get fitted for a new helmet, Fox racing pants, Fox racing Jersey, and Fox gloves. He loved them so much he wanted to sleep in them! Anyway...back to this morning...Jenson got dressed in his new gear and ready to head to Attica. Once we got to the farm, Jenson opened his presents from Poppy and Gin. There was one last box to open that had keys in it. Jenson knew the key was for the Bilo Barn and we went outside to investigate. Once Jenson got the key to unlock the door, he opened the door and to his surprise instead of Poppy's Harley was his very own dirt bike that looks just like daddy's!



It was time to roll the bike out and get ready to go!


Daddy's showing Jenson how to do it and off he goes!



Jenson took off like a pro!


The only thing that Jenson didn't like was the dirt bike should go FASTER!!!!

Jenson's Birthday Party

We had Jenson's 4th birthday party at Recreation Unlimited on November 21. What a fun day. This was the first time I let Jenson pick out where he wanted his party and his theme. It took forever to pick the theme...we went back and forth from Batman to Spiderman to Transformers. The winner was BATMAN!! Jenson had been so excited for his party. He had a count down to the final day. Jenson had 19 friends and received wonderful presents. Here are just a few pictures thank you to Aunt Erin...there will be more to come.
The cakes

Happy Birthday to you...

I don't know if I can do it?? Maybe my best buddy Nolan can help me??

I DID IT!!!

The presents...


What a gret day we all had!! The only thing is Jenson is a little confused...he thinks he is already 4. He has to wait a few more days for that!! Thank you for everyone who came and for the presents!! Jenson loved everything!!

Fall Fun with Neighbors

This is a picture of Jenson, Jake, and Ali (our neighbors) playing in the leaves on Sunday, November 8. What a beautful and busy day it was! Jenson and I went to Roncoli High school to watch SLDM play in the city championship game. Jenson was SO excited to go to his first football game, but boy was it hot!! Once we got home, Jenson played outside all afternoon with the cul-de-sac crew. What a fun day we had!

Jenson's Birthday Surpise!

This weekend Cam and I decided to go ahead and get Jenson his first dirt bike. As Cam said...what have we opened the door too?? :) Since Jenson could first speak, he has talked about motorcycles and lights up whenever he sees them. He can even tell you which Harley is a Fatboy, Sportster, Softail, etc. He even gave motorcycles his own word... "Bilos". We have no idea where he came up with this, but a few months ago he started to call them motorcycles...broke my heart. Every now and then he slips and calls them "Bilos". Jenson's Birthday is not until next month and it is going to be so hard to not tell him!! I think Cam and I are just as excited about this new adventure as Jenson will be!! Wish us luck!!

Stonycreek 2009

We went to Stonycreek for the second year in a row to pick out Jenson's pumpkin. This year was quite different from last year...last year, Jenson wasn't afraid of any of the inflatables and this year he wouldn't do them...too much wind blowing in his face! But we did all sorts of other things instead...

...of course there was the pumpkin train.

Don't forget the duck races!

Checking out the Pumpkin Tree

You CAN"T make me go in there!!!

Ready to go on a hay ride to find my pumpkin!

This is the one!! Doesn't matter that Daddy might throw his back out tryin to carry it...this is the one I want!! Cam did try to convince him to get a smaller one...but...no such luck!

Nothing like getting a new airbrush tattoo of a dragon!! He originally wanted a persian cat!!! Nanna and I talked him out of that one thank goodness!!

Pony rides!
All in all it was a good time at Stonycreek!!

Jenson meeting Nolan

Jenson was SO excited to meet his new cousin Nolan when he finally arrived!! All through Aunt Erin's pregnancy he called him "Noodle Mac and Cheese"...he thought this was a good name since his best friend at school was already named Nolan. The night before Jenson met Nolan, he wanted to draw a picture for him. Cam and I were worried after seeing the picture...it looked like an evil dog. We thought that Jenson thought Nolan was a puppy!! So we were a little nervous for the two to meet. Jenson was really nervous around him the first time he saw him.

Jenson starts to get closer....

He finally gets close to Erin and smiles for a picture!

And finally one with Uncle Travis!

Jenson finally calls Noodle Mac and Cheese Nolan, but thinks his choice for the name is a good one too!!

My First Blog Post

Today I decided to create a blog for my son Jenson. I got the idea from a friend who had hers published to give to hear kids instead of keeping a baby book. The baby book thing in theory started off great and then dwindled as I realized that being a mom was EXHAUSTING and any extra time I had to scrapbook, well, let's just say I would rather nap! It's been almost four years and the empty scrapbooks stay in the closet. So hopefully this will help me journal the day to day life of our family's journey. Wish me LUCK!
