Man oh man!

Ethan's long time dream of owning his very own motorcycle has finally come true. He is now the proud owner of a Yamaha TTR-90. He has wanted one of his own ever since he first rode his cousin Garrett's, almost three years ago. We found a good deal on Craigslist and decided to just bite the bullet and buy one. They picked it up yesterday evening after work and headed straight out to give it a whirl.




It's a great size for him right now, but he'll probably out grow it in the next year and a half, and then Audrey and David will inherit it. Audrey got her first chance to ride it yesterday as well and after a little coaching from dad, she was able to ride it all on her own too. I have no doubt that if we told David he could ride it, he wouldn't hesitate to try, but I think we'll at least wait until he can reach the ground.

You guys are, like, the coolest parents ever. I can't say I would let my kids have one of those!

SO much fun! FUN memories and good times lie ahead for Ethan!!!

And look at you ~ pulling the powerlines into the picture like that. Me? I'd shy away from it. But you -- you're just like Nate. And Amelia. You simply ROCK!

First of all - GREAT PHOTOS! I love the way they pull me in!

Secondly - lucky Ethan! My guy , Zed, got his first bike a Honda PeeWee50 on his 4th birthday and has not stopped riding since! He is now 13. He was born to ride - looks like Ethan was too. Very cool!

Fun fun fun! My nephew is 8 and has a dirt bike. He and my son just love it. Like 4-wheelers aren't enough ...

Great shots. I enjoy reading your posts and admiring your photography skills.

Every kid's dream!!! Great photos and lucky Ethan! I always regretted not getting my son a Power Wheels. For four years in a row, every Christmas he asked for one. However, we don't have a garage to store it so we didn't get it.....

Looks like great fun!
