4-wheeling in the Razor

Brett an I thought it would be fun to rent a razor for the day to take the kids 4-wheeling. So, last Wednesday that is what we did. We had so much fun and the kids loved it! Brooklyn loved going fast. When Brett would slow down to go down a hill Brooklyn would say "Why are you not going fast?!" Stetson was pretty chill about it and would get a big grin on his face one in a while. He even got a good nap while we were riding. We tried to fit the carseats in but there was no room for their feet once we got them in so Brooklyn sat in the back seat, which turned out to be perfect! The netting for the door was taller than she was so she didn't get hit by branches and we weren't worried about her falling out. Between the two seats in the front in back was a small seat that sat higher than the others and had a five point harness, so we put Stetson in front with us which worked out really well. We picked it up around 9:30am and drove to Mantua and rode up to Willard Peak where the view was beautiful. On our way down we explored a bit and saw some beautiful fall leaves and had a little pic-nic. After we got back to the truck we went home so the kids (and Brett) could take a nap then we went out again around 5:00. This time we went back to Mantua but went on the Avon loop, which Brett rides frequently on his dirt bike. It was a way fun loop with lots of whoopty doos. Brooklyn and I were riding in the back and couldn't stop laughing cause we were having so much fun! (How often does a grown up get to say that?) We got back to the truck just as it was getting dark then we headed to Maadox drive in for dinner. Such a fun day...we might just have to get us one!!! :)

Stetson turns 18 Months

Stetson turned 18 months old on the 9th! Of coarse I would like to freeze him at this age, he's so fun, but I know that I can't so I guess I will just enjoy it to the fullest!

His Stats:
Wt: 25 lbs 15oz 73%
Ht: 33.5" 83%
HC: 48cm 67%

About him:

• He loves tractors! He has a tractor calendar in his room and every morning he wakes up and says "tractor" in his baby acsent of coarse :)
• He eats everything (I hope he stays that way)
• He loves his milk! He drinks atleast 4 cups a day
• He loves to be outside following Brett around, throwing dog food into the dogs water, swinging, going down the slide, digging in the dirt, petting the dogs, going for walks or a wagon ride or a ride in the bike trailer,etc.
• He can say "tractor""horse""shoe""done", he knows what a sheep, cow, lion, snake, and elephant say.
• He has started to throw some tantrums, which are usually easy to stop by distracting him with something. He will throw his head back on the ground no matter where he is; asphalt, tile, dirt, doesn't matter. Not a very smart thing to do and often times I get scared that he is going to get a goose ache. He has gotten a little smarter after smacking the back of his head while doing it a couple of times and will now put his head back slowly. Haha
• Him and Brooklyn play together occasionally, but he is learning how to torment her..uh oh, here we go! The times that they are cute together make up for the times that they are fighting.
• He wakes up around 8 am, naps at 10 & 2, and goes to bed at 8.
• He loves nursery
• He's sometimes shy around strangers and other times he a social butterfly
• He's a mama's boy
• Brett loves taking him for rides on his tractor, taking him to guy stores (IFA, Smith & Edwards), having him follow him around in the garage (when he's not whining for mom)
• I love snuggling him and making him laugh
