Blake found a new favorite hobby: 4-wheeling. He LOVED it. Everything about it, the way they looked, the way they smelled, now fast you could go etc. He had so much fun! Tony's dad, Papa Bruce, has two little 4-wheelers that are the perfect size for kids. They've got some control thing on it where you can limit the speed (we didn't know that one of them had been broken until Aliya decided to go all out). Its one of the things my kids, and their cousins, look forward to doing when we head back to Utah.
Tony is so good to let the kids help him get things ready. I don't do well with extra 'helpers'. He loves it. Here he is letting Blakers fill up the tire with air.
The girls loved getting to drive all the vehicles. Here Tae is manning the 6-wheeler. Eventually Aliya got banned from the 4 wheelers. She was FLYING on it, standing up and showing off (I know exactly where she got her showboating: her Dad). Kid almost crashed into the school. After that, she was only allowed to drive with an adult, or Taeya, on the back! Not that this is shocking to anyone who knows her.
I didn't think Kai would really care too much about getting rides but he LOVED it. He would bawl when he was taken off. He'd lunge to get on them, even if it was just to sit on it. Who knew an almost 1 year old would have so much fun. He was great to just sit and enjoy the ride.
Note: In case you were wondering, yes, the machines are small and yes, Tony is a big man. How in the world these suckers have so much ump in them I'll never know. I think/know Tony had just as much fun on them as the kids did. He had so much fun zooming around my parents neighborhood. He'd take them up the hill, down to the school, all around and those little 4-wheelers just keep chuggin' along!
Blakers was in his glory. He loved when we'd take him down to the school and let him drive. He did awesome, well, until his thumb would get tired then he'd let us drive. There is no doubt in my mind this kid is going to love anything with a motor, just like his Daddy!
The first day we used the 4-wheelers was the first day Kai got to sit on real grass. Houston has horrible grass. Its prickly and stiff and is incredibly uncomfortable to walk on, let alone sit on. He actually somewhat liked it I think!

Tony needs to pick on a machine his own size ... maybe he and I'll have to pick up some toys of our own.
Oh, Tami you guys need to come back here! Aliya and Lizzy are too similar, I was laughing at your description of her driving (Lizzy can't handle the neighbor's Barbie Jeep;) And Joseph is just like Kai- cries and cries when it's not his turn. And yes, even Jim drives around our streets on James' little 4wheeler. Funny site! Cute pictures you've got.
You were HERE!? !#$@?
