The Skateboard

A couple of months ago Dusty bought an old little 1992 Mazda pickup to just mess around in and have if he wanted to drive it to work and save on fuel. Now mind you, this little pickup needed a paint job, the front bumper was cut off on each side, it smoked out the tailpipe like crazy and when we first got it you had to start it with a screwdriver but it was fun to drive and Cadyn LOVED it! Well, just for kicks Dusty listed it out on Craig's List about a week ago and within a couple days someone called interested in buying it. So Wednesday night while me and the kids were at church the guy came by to see it and bought it. When we got home and Dusty told Cadyn that he had sold it Cadyn immediately burst into tears! He said he loved that truck and didn't want his dad to sell it! We could not get him to stop crying so this is where the skateboard came into the picture......

We bought Cadyn's cousins Collier and Collin skateboards for Christmas last year and over the summer they started riding them a lot. Well, of course whatever his cousins have Cadyn wants since he thinks he is just as big as them so he has been saving his money for a while now so he can buy a skateboard of his very own! Dusty felt so bad that he was crying over the sold Mazda so he told Cadyn that he would buy him a skateboard with the money he got from the truck. I am sure you can guess that the alligator tears dried up when he heard that! Thus, Dusty and I headed out first thing Thursday morning and bought him a brand new skateboard. He was thrilled when he got home from school and found it! Now, he hasn't spent much time on it yet but I can already see we should have invested in some protective gear. That thing has already bucked him off a couple of times! I think he might need some lessons from his more experienced cousins!



On another note I took Camryn to have pictures made this morning since he is turning "2" next Friday. He did really good and they got some cute pictures of him but that was after we had to convince him that he could sit on the table and it wouldn't "hurt" him. For some reason he was scared and kept saying "it hurts mommy". We get them back in 2 weeks so I will post them so you all can see!

We are off to the lake when Cadyn gets out of school to camp all weekend. This will probably be the last time we get to go out this year so it should be fun! Hope you all have a fun Labor Day weekend!
