B is for Bikes


i dont think i should be taking pictures while riding a bike, but i love this picture anyway :) got to make that bike ride happen on the fourth of july at the LB Annual Kids Bike Parade - fun times! don't worry...i also fixed bodie's helmet after i put my camera away...i love biking with the kids, but it can be nerve racking, since bryson (5 1/2 years old) follows us on his bike. its good that he is learning how to navigate the streets with both parents herding him, but still...street riding can be a little unsettling...

i was at the park the other day and watched these two boys - aged 10 or so- racing their bikes and jumping them (all without helmets) and my heart skipped a little...this knowledge that one day my little boys are going to go off with their friends and try stupid things on their bikes...i can't watch Jackass anymore now that i have boys...i can't even watch people skateboarding...i am going to literally have a heart attack if one of them tries to play football. good thing i have a *couple* more years to adjust...

you know what has kinda helped me? talking with other moms of all (older) boys. they are pretty freaking cool moms...these women i have spoken with recently...seriously - they are so tough, such great senses of humor - so amazing...makes me inspired of how i want to mother these boys...but still without football and skateboards please :)
