The Prodigal Bike

The never-ending saga with this dirt bike continues. It was stolen about 2 months ago. We filed a police report, but it wasn't insured because it was off-road only. Needless to say, Victor was ticked. Me, not so much - I was kind of glad to be rid of the thing. Well, we got a call from the police a few weeks ago saying they had found it on the west mesa. Hard to believe, but true! So Victor picked it up from the towing place (after paying the fee) and brought it home. It wouldn't start, and looked a little worse for the wear, but with some TLC and a few new parts, it's running again. But I think Victor is finally convinced that it might be better to sell it... Anyone interested? :)

The Green Machine - ready for action, more or less! Just some cosmetic scratches and a nice rip in the seat.

Enoch's 5th Birthday

Enoch turned 5 last month, and I'm just now getting around to posting the pictures. But, in my defense, I do have to fight the kids for my turn on the computer... Anyway, he had a great birthday. The highlight, I think, was when he wrapped a present for himself (a single red lego) and looked really surprised when he opened it. He might have a career in acting... (NOOOOO!) Here are some random pictures of the occasion:


A Thomas the Train computer game

A Wubbzy book, and best of all:The Wubbzy cake! Victor did a great job with the decorating. Enoch is on a huge Wubbzy kick (if you don't know who Wubbzy is, you should consider yourself lucky!) and loved the cake! He also got a Wubbzy "doll" that he picked out. The doll came with a special code to unlock some games on the computer, and he and Andrew have been addicted to the computer ever since! Ahhh, kids these days....
