It was great to see the excitement in Mason as he would jump his bike. Made me reflect on days when I was younger. Lance and I would jump just about anything we could find, Tonka Trucks, Garbage Cans, Siblings, Cars. Lance even jumped a ditch, you will have to ask him about that one. I need to add that John taught Lance and I what not to do when he popped a wheelie just after replacing the front tire, that one cost him a couple front teeth :-). Anyway I just had to smile when Mason jumped over Lily, Alexis and Myself all at the same time. We didn’t get a shot but it did happen.

The best part of those pictures is Jodi and Her mom pulling the “bruce” pose with their mouths. I also loved the cowboy boots you were wearing. It is great to see Mason acting like his dad. He will be just fine if he keeps copying you. Great Blog. I am still laughing at those pictures and remembering some great bike jumps.

If a son is going to be like his father, It’s a good thing that the father is a man of honor and kindness. These are fun memories.

Okay, that is a little too frightening for me to have someone jump over children on his bike. I have too much of my father in me. Although I wouldn’t have put it past my brothers to do something like that.
