Ainsley taking a run for Mom!

Well Ainsley this last week decided that she wants to run, not walk. So this whole week she has been getting up and taking off. Here is a video of her yesterday taking off. ..

Scooterific!

Last evening I went for a 30 minute ride on the scooter throughout neighborhoods and let me tell you what, it was incredible! You are aware of your surroundings and are able to see things that in a car you would not be able to.

Now do not get me wrong, driving a scooter requires you to be alert as to what is around you because it is all to easy for a driver not to notice you. Yet I would not trade it.

I was told that you would have people wave and smile at you and that is not a lie. While I was driving around I had people wave, tell me they like the scooter, tell me they want a scooter, etc. It is funny because it becomes quite the topic amongst people when they see you on it or find out you have one. It cracks me up.

So for anyone who is thinking about getting a scooter, I would say do it!

Tornado

This is why I do love the Midwest. You do not find this back West! To be a storm chaser would be fun! This tornado was in Iowa; the same area that the Boy Scouts were hit.

Lessons learned at the Dentist.

Lessons learned at the dentist.

1. Always make sure that your dentist has his hearing aids turned on.
2. Make sure he speaks and understands English
3. Never be afraid to ask questions and repeat yourself if you feel he is not listening.
4. Check his credentials!
   

Ainsley growing up.

Well it is funny how fast one's child grows. Ains will be a year at the end of this month and boy how she has grown.

Today she finally said Mama! So she has got Dada and Mama down to a science, now to figure out the rest of her language. Thank heavens for sign language!

My Stella!

Well after two years of debating Ash and I decided that I should go for it and purchase a scooter. So we headed to Scooter World KC and purchased a brand new Stella by Genuine Scooter Co. It is fabulous!

I have only taken it out in our apartment complex until I have taken the driving license exam and had some more time on the scooter in a controlled area.

I love it and our neighbors love talking about it. Every time I go out on it I get people coming out on their balconies to watch. It is pretty comical.

You know with gas prices continuing to soar I am grateful that I have a scooter that gets 90 miles to the gallon.

I will post a picture of the scooter when I get a chance। I love it! I highly recommend everyone getting one. A warning though for anyone considering getting one. Do not purchase a scooter from the web, especially ones from China. You will regret it.

Ainsley and Dad

Made Contact!

I am pretty excited because I was able to make contact with my best friend from Oregon last week.

I found out that he is getting married and I am very happy for him. I wish him the best of luck!

Now I just need to get down there sometime with the family and see him because it has been 10 years since we have seen each other.
