Easy Rider

The recent invasion of motorcycles for the ROT Fest brought about a keen interest in 2 wheel travel for Kaelan. She thoroughly enjoyed counting and admiring the many cycles we passed as we dodged the thousands and thousands of bikers scattered around the Austin area.

Kaelan: Ohhh, mama. Are those skulls painted on that one?

Mom: Looks like it.

Kaelan: Ohhh, mama. That one has a cross and a rose and fish painted on it.

Mom: Wow. What a interesting combination.

Kaelan: Mama! Is that a girl painted on that one? Is she wearing any clothes?

Mom: Look away, baby. Let that one pass. Did someone say ice cream?





Kaelan didn't run off and join any biker gangs or get any piercings this week, but she did ask several times if she could have a Harley. The answer was and remains no, but we compromised with taking the training wheels off her bike. We didn't know how this would turn out, but after only a few attempts, our biker girl hit the open road and never looked back.



Yes, those are ladies painted on her ride. And yes, they are clothed. Their names are Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. She rides with a rough crew.

GOAL!!!!!!

So much goes on in our lives.....and so little bloggin'.
My goal in having a blog was to document the little things that happen in our little world in hopes and looking back on them in the distant future with great fondness. Oh, and sometimes to rant and ramble on the little things that stir within the walls of my brain.....which may be good for medical/psychological reasons in the distant future. You know, for treatment purposes.

Miss K is such a busy bee. She keeps my schedule packed and my calender booked with her ice skating, soccer, gymnastics, and swimming lessons. Not to mention the bits of life that happen between all that nonsense.
Let's focus on soccer today. I have hopes of telling you about the other stuff in the future, but today, lets' focus on soccer. Soccer. Soccer. Soccer.

Kaelan was a proud member of The Knights, a 5 man (and girl) powerhouse team of energetic 4 and 5 year olds ready to take out anyone who tries to deny them a goal.
Reality check. The Knights were a team of 5 adorable little kiddos without a clue as to how to play soccer, but awesome at picking flowers and holding hands on the field. Sometimes goals were scored (Kaelan actually managed a few this season), but overall, The Knights were an incredible source of entertainment and laughter for the noncompetitive parents on the sidelines.
Our friends Wes and Lorri (Darian's parents) braved the title of "coach" for the season, and despite the distraction of ladybugs, anthills, pretty flowers and each other, they actually managed to teach the kids some basic soccer skills.
It was a great season. Kaelan hopes to attend camp and play again next season. We are game for the laughs.
