What's next? ESPN X-games?

I thought I had lost these pictures forever last summer. I was trying to upload them on a new computer, and didn't quite understand what I was doing and seriously thought they went into the black hole of lost internet things. I was so sad!! But, yesterday, I found them in the iphoto trash bin. Imagine that. There are some cute pictures and some very fun facial expressions. 

During the summer, the kids got this wacky idea to set up a bike ramp on our grass. They'd start over at the neighbors house to build up enough speed, and then shoot off the jump! The had a blast and did it for  hours. Notice the wear on our grass!




Cole, our cute little neighbor, (who has quite a thing for Makenna) was the funniest one to watch. He was a little timid to begin with and wasn't quite sure about going over the ramp. So, he would approach super slow, and then almost fall over. I told him, if he wanted to make it over the ramp, he'd have to speed it up a bit. You can tell he was totally scared, but he was determined. He finally got the hang of it and I kept asking him to do it again, just to see his face! His expressions are priceless!





Here is our cute neighbor Olivia trying to make it up and over!


Now, this kid knew what he was doing. He would start from 2 houses away, not just one. He'd get up as much speed as he could and just fly over that jump. He has no fear! Tyler gets the award from the best jumping skills!

Oh my goodness!! I think I am glad I wasn't around to watch Tyler do his moves. He is quite the daredevil!
