Pics I've promised my family!

Dakota is thinking that Heaven might look something like this...a skate park! Though I felt that I should have taken advantage of the "teachable" moment...I let it go. It was spoken like a 10 year old, the innocence of a child who loves to play and skateboard.

Dan took the boys here last weekend...they had a blast.




Dakota was thrilled to practice some tricks...less thrilled with the end results from a few of them! But, here's one that was maybe successful.



Ramiro never ceases to amaze me...how the 5 year old keeps his body in balance like this is incredible. I suppose if you have very little fear of falling/pain...the potential of that freedom is huge! So...off he goes...full force, as fast as he can...and amazingly successful!






Dakota did awesome in that he was able to overcome the half-pipe! Its intimidating to start at the top, hard to keep balanced and keep up with the speed. He really has a gift for sports!!



And then there's Andre...not so much into the speed of skateboarding. Happy to ride his bike around, stopping to smell the flowers along the way. But, he loves to be out there with the boys and on the look out for a "hairplane" or "helocofter" in the sky!! Gotta love it!!




Here's Maddie...its tough to be the baby of a runner sometimes! Especially when its cold and mommy has a run to get in!



Don't let her pitiful eyes fool you...















...she doesn't last long...she gets some ZZZ's in along the way!!

You guys got some great pictures of the boys in action!

And I love Maddie all bundled up...we had to do that to Cristin's son Jackson the other night. Then he cried a little and we felt a little guilty at first, but soon he was fast asleep too.

Very cute post!
