Boys and Toys

The much-anticipated day the boys have waited YEARS for finally arrived: 4-wheeler day!  Russ has been talking about getting a 4-wheeler since the day we moved into our 'country' home and the boys have talked even more about it!  Finally, Russ told them that with our tax refund this year, we would make their dream a reality and now it is!  This evening, Daddy brought it home and some excited kids were eagerly awaiting!  I just love Oliver so much. He had his helmet on and was ready to go just the second the ride was available!
 Thankfully, we have the expertise and manpower of Uncle Scottie and Grandpa Denny so we could actually get it out of the truck. 
 Success!  Now let's see what this baby can do!
 Start 'er up!  And the first kiddo to ride goes to. . .
 . . . Princess Evie, of course.  Thankfully, the boys understand 'ladies first' manners and were willing to be patient just a bit longer.
 Next up, Oliver Man takes it for a spin.
 And finally, Calvin takes it all over the ENTIRE yard to get it nice and warmed up.
What about Miss Violet, you ask?  Well, she was quite happy to cheer for the others as they passed, but at first mention of her actually getting ON the ride, she ran quickly in the other direction.  She'll probably change her mind at some point, but at the moment she isn't a huge fan of the new toy in the garage.  I'm sure the boys will have many fun memories on this 4-wheeler in the coming years. . . but for now, as Oliver says, "It's time to figure out the rules."  Yes, it is.  And mommy has new leverage for getting the boys to behave. . .
