in Carson's words... his downhilling day

fun, fast, bumpy





I felt excited going up on the gondola. Then we went to the bike park... skills centre. The instructor taught us to balance on the ramps. The snake trail was easy. put all your weight forward on the teater before you roll forward and then go forward. The easy does it trail was easyish to me. I fell once off the camel humps, but got right back on.





When we picked Carson up at 3:30 he looked happy but exhausted... that didn't last long though lol. of course





Biking with parents the next day...

Carson just had to take his parents to the bike park, so we geared up and rode the gondola to the bike skills park. He showed us how he could ride everything in there including the smaller teeter.

Riding down the trail with my two boys infront of me was a very happy moment for me. This is it, this is the life I created and I love it!

Carson had struggles on the second half of the trail and was crying a bit and frustrated that he had to walk in two spots, but he made and down and to our surprise wanted to go right back up again. Well I have to say I was very proud of him! He pushed thru his struggles from the first time and rode those two spots he had to walk the first time. He was proud of himself and buddy, we were/are super proud of you two!

Vacation

Getting ready to leave for Whistler after work today.... Weekend was busy with fun and chores. Carson had Ashley over for a sleepover... first time he's had a friend over now that I think bout it... put them to bed at 9:30 then finally at 11ish they were asleep. A couple of times before that I thought they were but then they got up to pee... they were getting tricky and whispering.

We had Barb and Tony over for dinner Sunday, Ryan did appies. We all went to the backyard while the boys/kids (neighbour girls joined us) play with the RC trucks on the track that Carson, Ryan and Dad made... I'll have to tell that story another day.

Went for my Sat morning girls ride today, but had to use a demo bike cause they weren't finished serving mine yet. Was a good ride, but hot today. Carson has Ashely over tonight for a sleep over. He's really having a hard time listening to us lately and it's really getting to Ryan and I. Getting ready for our family vacation to Vancouver and Whistler next week... can't wait.

Aug 18th

Went to pick up Carson from my sisters and they were getting ready to go camping, so.... all the way home Carson was begging to go... I thought maybe I could leave from work on Friday but I was just too busy when we got home to pack and metally get around going. Laundry, creating flowers for KG class and dinner etc.. the night flew by. I just couldn't pull Carson away from his Dad and Papa working on the new truck in the hobby room last night, so it was after ten before he went to bed... He doesn't know why he created on his truck like he did LOL.... just started taping the holes.....picture to come

Hello

Anyone home ;)

This would be a great place to post my daily thoughts for my project life... less paper!

Yesterday I worked at the shop... what a frustrating day... I hate giving up my Wednesday to go, it's even harder in the summer to have Carson give up one of his rare days at home! I didn't get home till 4pm. But he was very happy to spend part of the day with Lyric and Aria.

Went for the chick ride, didn't want to, but was really glad I did. I get up those hills like a goat and alot of the girls were amazed... I'm slow and steady and strong is what they say. Made me feel good. We had burger and beers at Union to end the spring/summer season... Fall riding will start the week after school starts back up. I'm actually looking forward to crosscountry skiing for season two!
