Eventful weekend!!

We have been planning on going to the Madison Christmas Parade on Saturday with the Young family, just like we always do. We get doughnuts, make coffee and hot chololate, bring chairs and blankets and just have a grand old time. Well, we got a call Friday night telling us that Peyton has the CHICKEN POXS and would have to cancel the entire weekend. I wasn't thinking about it when Kyle told me, but then it hit me that even though it was Parade weekend it was also Peyton's birthday party as well. Then it hit me later that night that Peyton came over Thursday night and was hugging on Nolan and playing with Mamie. Oh, top of that I HAVE NEVER HAD THEM EITHER.... Oh, well that is something that we can't worry about. I just feel sorry for Ann, because she has a 11 month old and they say that he is going to get them because he hasn't even had the shot yet. He turns one at the end of December. Well we woke up Saturday morning went and got doughnuts for us and the Young family, took them by their house and we went to the parade. Nolan had a blast watching the firetrucks and policemen. After the parade we went a got our Chirstmas tree. It is a very tall and skinny tree, but Mamie liked it so we got it. Nolan didn't care to much about looking for a tree, he was to busy watching the guys cut the ends of the trees for everyone else tree. I will have to say this, Nolan is ALL BOY!!!!! So we got home, put the tree up, loaded up the family and headed down to Wiggins. Kyle was in another dirt bike race and I decided to tag along and see what the big-to-do was. Well, we went to the race and it was a nice day just to be outside. It wasn't too hot and it wasn't cold at all. Just a nice breezy day. I didn't know what to except, but we had fun. It was loud, and the bikers all had to ride this course through the woods. We sat pretty much at the start line and could see them all ride past us. The double "A's" (the good guys) very fast and Nolan just sat there wided eyed watching them. Well they came by, then Kyle's brother came by and I thought well Kyle should be coming by soon. We sat and sat and sat waiting. Well everything ran through my mind, then he came over the hill. It was kind of funny because I have never seen them like that, I have seen them ride before but not with hills and small trails and other bikers around anyway, he came over the hill and Corban said "there is uncle Kyle going slower than Christmas". Nolan sat up and said "there he is, there he is". Boy was I over joyed. Kyle stopped infront of us and wanted some water. I told him I almost came looking for you, but then up came over the hill. He said "I RIDE SAVE, not like all these other guys". Again, this is just something you will have to see.

So, we had an eventful weekend. Let's just hope if we get the chicken pox it will be this week and it will not be as bad. I am still going to have to decorate the tree and other household duties. I know that Kyle had fun at the race even if he didn't finish and I will have to say that I did have fun watching all of it, but I also will have to say I will not be going to every race in the future. I will go to some, but not all of them. It just wears you out because you get home so late on a Sunday.
