The other day, the two older boys wanted to play outside so while Ty was napping, I stole an hour or so to go out and play with them in the backyard.  We first went for a walk and admired the purple wild flowers that blossomed.

Bentley hung out with Edna…until he found a bone in the woods! 

Then, Imanuel wanted to ride his trike.  He LOVES riding his trike.  Micah has a mini-bike with training wheels that my parents also bought for them, but he still hasn’t quite gotten the hang of it yet.  So, I thought, maybe I could just pull him around in a sled.  I was getting so tired that I just couldn’t pull him anymore.

Then, Imanuel thought of the brilliant idea of pulling him on the sled with his trike!

Yeah, right.  He was only able to get Micah to move for just a few inches and that was on an incline!  I ended up having to push them.  That’s when we knew what we had to do.  We realized that the only way we could pull Micah was to use something really tough…Ford tough.

Success!  (Well, sort of.  They still did have some trouble going uphill.)

Last month, for Micah’s 2nd birthday, Thanksgiving, Ty’s birth present, Christmas 2009, and Manu’s 4th birthday, we bought the boys a Ford Harley Davidson Edition Power-Wheels Truck.  :]

They used their truck to help with some yard work. 

Then it was time to go inside.  Manu parked the car in our garage where only Fords are allowed. 

So, here’s to many years of good use on this car…because we decided this is only car they’ll be getting from us!
