A good time with a friend.

     School was out for Valentines so I took the boys along with a friend, Aiden, motorcycle riding to our favorite place.  We had so much fun.

 Here is Aiden in front of Porter.

 Kade in front of Mason.

 The younger boys took a break and had some lunch.

Porter as Iron Man and Aiden as Thor

 You can't see it but there was a bomb that was about to explode.  So they turned to run.

 They turned to see how far they had gone and that is when the bomb exploded.

 They were knocked down.  This was a very fun stop action photo shoot.

 Aiden on his motorcycle going up the jump.  Good job bud.

Mason turned thirteen.  Now I have two teenagers.  Thank Goodness they are good boys.  I made him let me take some pictures of him before he went to school.  It was fun.  

 Later that day we went to the Arroyo Grande pump track.  Mason invited his friends but the only one who was available was Vincen.

Here is Porter on his scooter on the pump track.

 Mason (in the yellow shirt) on his bike jumping the big jumps.

 Porter chasing Kade.

 Vincen, Ben and Mason.  This picture gives you an idea of how tall the jumps are.  Mason was proud of the fact that he could clear all three of the jumps in one run.  For those who don't know what that is it is when you go up the jump and launch it, and without touching the top of the table, land on the downhill side of the jump.  This I guess I difficult because you loose speed each jump.

 Yeah thats me.  It looked smooth but to me it was NOT.  Porter followed me teaching me how to do it. So obviously I wasn't going to fast unlike them.

 Ben couldn't stand it either he took a turn on the pump track on Vincen's bike with Kade chasing him.

Rainbow Canyon

This is the first trip with all the boys riding a bike.  Porter and Mason both had there own bikes.  Kade was riding mine since we had yet to find one that was right for him.  I was on the back with Ben.  It was a lot of fun to look in front of us and see them.  I was so proud of them.  They would watch out for Porter.  Help each other and work together.  The hardest part for the kids on this trip was having to stay on the roads.  They couldn't just go off anywhere.  This picture was taken by me on the back of Ben's motorcycle.  It is so fun to have something to to as a family.  Thanks to my husband for making this possible.  

 The stop at the end of the trail, or at the start.  I think we started and the end.  This is where the trail map was.

 Ben teaching Porter how to ride a clutch.  He did good.  He rode the whole trail with no struggles.

 The temple hill.  The temple is down the hill on the left.  The trail that we went on was on the right.

 My bike on the trailer.  Kade took this picture.  He has an eye for pictures.

 This one is Ben's bike.  Again, Kade too it.  He's good huh.

Going to the River

Cameron invited us to the river.  Paul and Amy Van der Elst came too.

Paul and Piper were trying to teach their dog Lucy to swim, or even just get into the water.  She eventually did and then she would try to eat the waves.

Although Porter caught the biggest fish that weekend, Dad caught the most.

 Mason, Cameron and Kade were on the deck getting the tube ready.

 Mason and Kade jumping of the pier.  When you jump off the pier you start floating away so you have to swim to the boat and climb up the ladder to get out or you start floating down the river and figure out where you could get out.  It was so fun.

Finally a party

Porter was sick for his birthday so we had gave him some little presents on that day to make it kids of fun since we hadto postpone his party until today.  He invited his friend Joey Carter.  We went to Warehouse Wars and Flipin Out.  We played one game of laser tag and one hour of trampolines. Then got pizza and went to Ben's work to have a ping pong tournament.   Porter said it was worth the wait.  Joey got him a Nerf gun.  Yeah.
