"Daddy, funny.
Mommy, funny.
Self, funny"

boating, race cars and parties

This was a busy, busy week. On Wednesday we went boating with Paul's friend. After seven years of not wakeboarding, I got up on the second try. Wahoo! And then about 5 minutes later, caught an edge, was ripped from the boots and face-planted. End of wakeboarding - for the day at least. Dane loved the boat and i'm sure he can't wait to get back out on the water. (Forgot the camera...)

Friday we took Dane to Lehi city parade. He wasn't quite sure of the noise, but by next year, he'll be running in the street for candy.
Saturday I ran 6 miles. For some that may not be big but I was so proud of myself. I'm training for a half marathon in August so every big run I have to give myself props. Then a few hours later Dane and I went to Jake (cousin) bday party. Lots of kids, cupcakes, slip-n-slide, bubbles. Lots o fun.
Saturday night was the highlight. We immersed ourself in a very American outing - drag racing! Can you say - redneck central! Beer, boobs, tatoos, and daisy dukes (on big women). Dane wasn't sure of the loud noise but he loved the cars! He'd say "Race car watch. Race car loud." And the best was when one popped a wheely and Dane said "race car broken".

Watching with daddy.

Vroom, vroom.

Sunday - 40th birthday party for our friend - Christian Overton. This was our gift to him.

Here is a video of the morning after the race.

Mommy's little helper.

punching

The other day Dane and I were playing in his ball pit when he pointed to my cheek and the following ensued.

Dane: Owie, owie.
me: No, mommy doesn't have an owie.
Dane cocks back his little hand, makes a fist and socks me one, right in the face. Then points to my face again. "Owie, owie."
me: yes, now mommy has an owie. But no punching, that's not nice.
Dane hits me again.
Dane: "punching" then laughs.

My kid learned a new word! And action...Great.
