GATOR RIDIN'

This weekend we were working in the yard and planting our first garden (lets hope something grows in it). We got the John Deere Gator out in the backyard for Austen to ride. He had the best time and was very insistent that he wanted Jaksen to ride with him. Luckily the gator has good seat belts so we strapped Jaksen in for his first gator ride with brother. Austen took off and then stopped quickly. He kept doing this over and over because he thought it was funny that when he would do that, Jaksen's little body would jerk back and forth. Finally, the humor wore off of that and they were off on the 1st of many gator rides together. It was so cute to see them in the gator together. I am so excited for the many things they will do together in the future whether it be something they should or should not be doing. I am thinking that with the personality of Mr. Jaksen coming out it will probably be more of what they should not be doing especially if it is up to him. Austen is a little more cautious with things, but since Jaksen started his crawling he is definetly going to be a mess. I will post more on Jaksen and his new adventures later this week. Back to the gator ride. Austen drove Jaksen around the yard for like 20 minutes. Jaksen loved every minute of it, as did Austen. We got a video of the ride to which I will try to put on a later post. Austen thought he was such a big boy getting to drive his little brother around. Jaksen would try to grab the steering wheel and honk the horn and Austen would get mad. It was quite commical. Overall, the ride was great and when it came time to get Jaksen out, Austen got mad and started crying because he wanted him to keep riding. Austen is really a great big brother and they play so well together. They are always up for making each other laugh. It is so cute! I think they are going to be great brothers and great friends.

Austen was hauling around some of the dirt for the garden. He thought he was a big helper!



Whoa! Jaksen don't fall out, hang on!!!


Hey brother, how is the ride?
