writing backwards

The problem with resolving to take more “around the house” pictures is that I have more pictures to edit and post. Tonight I caught up on February, and I will share some with you now. I am going to start today and write backwards.
Today was Ben’s last basketball class. His biggest accomplishment during the past 6 weeks is that he stopped falling down on purpose. Add that to the fact that he had fun, and we are satisfied.
After basketball, we got together with Tiff and family. We met at Pipsqueaks, had BBQ, watched RC car racing, and finished off with ice cream. Yeah, it was pretty much awesome.
So cute:
Ben’s haircut in the snow. We went pretty short this time:
We all spent about 20 minutes one evening entertaining ourselves with the lid from a box of wipes. Definitely an “around the house” moment:
Ben spent a bunch of time directing me to take pictures of things. Finally he asked, “Mommy, can you put the camera down and take a picture of you, me, Daddy, and Sammers?” Such a great idea and it produced my favorite family picture in a very long time (not that we get very many):
I LOVE IT!
A sad outcome of Jason working more overtime is that I am in charge of dinner more often. One luckily night, the kids got “Kid Cuisine” out of the deal. Sammers liked the pudding best:
And the floor after a typical dinner at our place, courtesy of Bam Bam:
Finally, Sammy running, playing with his favorite toy, and acting like a caged beast at the baby gate:
Are you sick of these mundane details from our life? Well, we’re done…for tonight.

With the bribe/promise of friend chicken for dinner, Ben and I took advantage of the warm weather (above freezing) to take a couple of shots outdoors. Despite the virtual stack of photos I have to edit, I did these first, and I want to share them right away. Here’s my sweet big boy and his buffalo hat:
Goodness, I love this kid!
PS: I meant to take some of his new haircut, but I guess those didn’t make the first cut. I’ll see if I have one to share later.

REAL ULTIMATE POWER
February 18, 2009 | Filed Under Motorcycles | 9 Comments
Hi, this post is all about FJR 1300’s, REAL FJR 1300’s. This post is awesome. My name is Jason and I can’t stop thinking about FJR 1300’s. These machines are cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet.
Facts:
1. FJR 1300’s are motorcycles.
2. FJR 1300’s wheelie ALL the time.
3. The purpose of the FJR 1300 is to rock out and make my pants tight.
Pictures of FJR 1300’s and their weapons:
Testimonial:
FJR 1300’s can wheelie all day long! They can go almost 300 miles on a tank of gas and don’t even think twice about it. These machines are so crazy and awesome that they go fast all the time. I heard there was this rider who was riding an FJR . And when he went around corners his pants got so tight that they cut his body in half. Someone I know said that he once was so stoked about his FJR, and drunk, that he cut a foxes head off with his FJR’s front fender.
And that’s what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don’t believe that FJR 1300’s have REAL Ultimate Power you better get a life right now or they will chop your head off!!! It’s an easy choice, if you ask me.
FJR 1300’s are sooooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants. I can’t believe it sometimes, but I feel it inside my heart. These machines are totally awesome and that’s a fact. FJR 1300’s are fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, and sweet. I can’t wait to ride my FJR this summer. I love FJR 1300’s with all of my body (including my pee pee).
Q and A:
Q: Why is everyone so obsessed with FJR 1300’s.
A: FJR 1300’s are the ultimate paradox. On the one hand, they are heavy like a touring bike and have good wind protection, but on the other hand they don’t give a crap and will rip like a sport bike.
Q: I heard that FJR 1300’s like to crash a lot. What’s their problem?
A: Whoever told you that is a total liar. Just like other motorcycles, FJR 1300’s can hit foxes and crash when you are drunk, OR be totally awesome.
Q: What do FJR 1300’s do when they are not riding sweet wheelies or ripping around corners?
A: Most of their free time is spent haunting your dreams, making you think about future trips, and all the sweet accessories you want to add to them. Look at some FJR 1300 owners dashboards if you don’t believe me.
I have been looking at this thing since I brought it home last Thursday, and managed to eke out a 30 mile ride on Sunday until I began getting some frostbite on my neck (25 deg out). It is amazing.
