Nephews

I have the coolest nephews ever!

So this is Carter. Right now he is being like a bull dog. He is such a smart kid. He is 12 I think going on 30. He is 95% smarter then me, and he hasnt even gone to college. He knew his capitals of the USA when he was four, memorized ever flag when he was 6, and has been awarded so many smart cookie awards it is hard to remember them all. However he still kicks my trash at any video game, although I have come close to beating him at the Ninja game.

Ha and these are the other cuties! London is so cute, and he loves giving me hugs and such. Gavin loves everything to do with the army, like his older brother. The both love to have fun. London likes Thomas the train engine and has everything tomas, and Gavin loves star wars since he was the age of one. Both of them are super super cute! They are my cookie makers.

Riding a bike!


I LEARNED HOW TO RIDE A TANDEM
This is what we looked like basically. Me holding on for dear life,
with Charles enjoying every minute of it

I have never learned how to ride a bike. It is a fact of life that I crashed when I was six and I have never been on one since. My father stopped trying, and when I was nine he gave away the bright pink cool bike that I had recieved to one of his patients.
HOWEVER SATURDAY I learend how to ride a tandem bike! Thanks to Charles Henry, and his bicycle built for two, I have master the set of two wheels and two bodies. NOW I JUST NEED TO ACTUALLY LEARN HOW TO RIDE A REAL BIKE!

I have toied the idea of learning how to ride a bike with others, and they have all said that they want to push be down a really bumpy hill and let me figure it out. However my recount to them saying that is that I would taser them if they tried doing that - you know who you are -.

It was quite scary. First charles gave me a helmet and told me not to be scared, and that besides Paul who was the master, that he was the second master. So I shouldn't hasve to fear. I have mounted a bike before but I have never successfully ridden it. After he convinced me that we would go no where unless I wore the helmet. I suppose dhe knows that I am very very accident prone. They they carefully analyzed how short I was, so that they could set the bike seat. I began to do a none human little screach, sort of like a frog mixed with a swallow. You coudl tell that Charles was enjoying the fact that I was scquleching, on what it seemed like to be an adventure. Hopefully I can see Charles thinking that she can do this so that she will just enjoy the ride. ... and then we were off. For the first minute I was doing the I want to fly off of the bike so quick. But then I rather enjoyed it, until he decided to go down a huge hill, and flashbacks of us crashing and me smashing him to smiterines did not suit my liking. BUT WE SURVIVED! So that is my tale about how I learned to unoffically learn how to ride a bike.

I have always had that one thing that was unique about me. That I can't ride a bike. Which techniqually I still can, however truely I have mastered the crawl, now I just need to learn how to walk. Now I just need to learn something else that is unqie about me.
