Trace had a fantastic birthday. He had a great day at school complete with a special crown made by Teacher McClan. When I got to daycare he was still wearing it. Then we headed to the Bounce Arena where 16 of his friends joined him for bouncing and cake. Since I am such a great mom I got blue frosting on the Cars cupcakes....whoops! We said good-bye to lots of blue faces and teeth.
When we got home we surprised Trace with the motorcycles. He was so excited! He couldn't believe he had TWO DIRTBIKES. It took us forever to get him to come inside for the night. The next morning he went running out to the garage. I asked him what he was doing and he told me, "I just wanted to make sure my dirt bikes were still there." And when we got home that night he didn't even get his bag and coat all the way in the front door before he dropped it and went to the garage to just sit on his bikes. They were a hit!
Today Trace and Rick went for their first real ride. He is taking his nap now without too much debate as we promised him to go to the motorcycle shop when he wakes up to look at goggles and boots. He did really good for his first time. He has both brakes down and only "almost" tipped Rick off he back a few times. I think he thought he was super cool because he was popping wheelies... Rick said he was pretty good with the throttle. He never gunned it and understood to let off when he was turning. I think tomorrow the plan is to go to my parents and let him try it out all by himself. He says he is ready.
We have a very busy weekend. We will go pick Kaitlyn up from school at 3 and then meet our friends The Douglas' to take the kids bowling. We all have today off so we decided to go early and then we'll probably grab a bite to eat and head home. Tomorrow we'll go up and let the kids ride at my parents. Rick's sister Amee is flying in for his other sister Lori's bridal shower that we are having on Sunday. We have lots of stuff to finish up tomorrow for the shower so I'm sure Amee will be put to work. Kaitlyn is going to Rick's brother's for a sleepover with Meredith. Michelle will bring her home Sunday morning when she comes up for the shower.
The shower starts with brunch at Desert Wind Winery at 10:30 on Sunday morning. After brunch we will head out on a wine tour limobus. Amee will fly back home Sunday night.
Rick is busy getting the garage all emptied out so they can come and tape and mud on Monday. They say it will be ready for paint by next weekend. Which means.... we are almost 100% done with the first phase of our remodel.
So yea... BUSY WEEKEND. But it should be a fun one!!!
