Heck's Angels



Not long ago, Jace was riding his training-wheeled bike with Kim and his brothers. When they got back, he asked me to take the training wheels off. I gave Kim a skeptical look, but she said that his wheels were barely touching. As soon as I got the wheels off, Jace jumped on, rode down the driveway and turned down the sidewalk. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. (Hyperbole used on purpose here.)

This new found freedom meant that he needed a new bike (the wheels on his other one were falling apart). The picture above shows him on his stylin' Jeep bike. He loves to go riding with his brothers. In fact, last week we went on an entire family bike ride with Cooper and Brooke riding in the trailer behind me. We rode four miles, which I thought was pretty good for those little legs of theirs.



The bike riding excitement also lead to me introducing the boys to the joy of putting cards in the spokes. A few of the neighbor kids have also come by to have me "pimp" their rides as well. They've got their own little bike gang going on as they put-put through the cul de sac. So far they haven't grown tired of the drone, but we'll see how long that lasts.

Here's the boys tearing it up:

Hey! It's just like watching those guys on dirt bikes in the circle cage at the circus just barely avoiding each other!

They are so cute! Love the playing cards in the spokes . . .
