Mini bikes are awesome.....Bushes are not.....

Yup....Mike and I went out to breakfast at Denny's on Friday morning after dropping the boys off at school...Then we went home and loaded up the mini bike...It's one of those Baja Mini bikes, looks like a motocycle that hasn't grown up yet...Tops out at only 25 MPH....

ANYHOO....So He and I took it out to the boonies to ride it...It was my first time so I was excited...Jumped on and away I went! Oh it was sooooo much fun!!! Rode it around for about a good 30 minutes on some paths and then came back to where Mike was sitting on the tailgate of the Bronco...Took a drink and was ready to head back out!!!!!!! I was having a blast....Turned the handle bar to give it gas to go again and ....That's when the bush jumped out at me!!! No really it did! It wasn't there before I swear!!!! Hahahaha....Yup...Mike was waiting for me to do that...Hit the gas...forgot where the brake was to stop it and WHAMO!!!! Tig meets bush....Hello Bush...Mike got the bike out and I have a nasty cut and bruise on my leg for my troubles...But it's really not going to stop me from getting back on!!!

The rest of the weekend was not a whole lot to write about ...grocery shopping...laundry...those fun things that we get to do....and never seem to get caught up on!!!! AH but when there's me and Mike plus 3 kids...we're bound to never get caught up with laundry...Mike thinks that by always having laundry for me is his way of showing me how much I'm needed...Gee thanks...next time give me diamonds...=)

Kairi and Manisa are down at my place for the next couple of days...Manisa is watching the boys until my schedule changes this week...I wrote up a list of household rules (you know the ones...If the kids say that Mom and Dad let them do it all the time-we don't, doesn't matter what it is...we don't-things like that) Manisa went into hysterics reading it...Kairi is just so wonderful...She brightens the whole room with one of her ear to ear grins....Makes me want to go and give her everything (much to my own children's dismay!) I am enjoying the heck out of having her here...But I am also planning on going up there for Labor Day weekend...Already have the car reserved from the Airport...Now all's that needed is to get the ticket...Right now Independence has a $99 each way.....Going to try to book that on the 17 when we get paid...Then I am pretty much all set...Patrick should be already in Iraq (Yeah...it's pretty much official) so it will just be us girls....Kairi will be about 7 months.....Crawling and popping teeth!!!!! I can't wait!!!

Well that's just about it....Not much else going on these days....

And that's a very good thing!
