Chad's New Dirt Bike

My oldest son Chad Allen loves riding dirt bikes, he has had sevral over the years and I must say he is a really good rider....and I must also say I look away often because he scares me to death!! But for about 6months or so his dirt bike has been out of commission (which seems to happen alot with dirt bikes) So instead of fixing it this time he decided to sell it and buy a diffrent one, he found one on craigs list and He and my Dad went to pick it up this morning...Chad was up EARLY rare'n and ready to go...What kind of dirt bike did he get you ask? Well...It's Yellow...and I think it's a 250, that would be about all I know except for the fact that even though he hasn't road a dirt bike in 6mos. or so does'nt mean he forgot how to. Two seconds after he started it he blew by me at neck break speed...(maybe that wasn't such a good choice of words to explain how fast he was going)
I think my nephew (the one I posted about) Allen has broken me in on the dirt bikes watching him ride (before Chad got a bike) Well let's just say if your heart can servive watching him on a dirt bike you'll make it (but Chad is fallowing fast in his footsteps when it come to dirt bike riding) I have witnessed Chad crashing his bike twice...it wasn't pretty...and people wonder why I'm on bloodpressure medicen!! Any who, I put together a little video with Chad riding, some clips are of him on his old bike (which was VERY, VERY LOUD...thank you Jesus he sold it) and there are some clips of him on his new bike (the yellow one) So set back and watch.

Allen

I have included below the proof that Kids do grow up FAST!! My sister received a video from the photographer that made Allen's (my nephew) senior pictures she put them together in a slide show I wanted to post my own slide show of Allen in his younger years, with that famous smile that melts hearts...It seems like yesterday when he took his first steps, road his bike for the first time, got his first motorcycle where does the time go? He will graduate from high school this year (which makes me feel really old) We are all so proud of him, I know in my heart that he will go far in life (he has a way of persistence's about him) (grin) So set back and enjoy the pictures..

Love you Allen..

Update on Chad Allen

So I had mentioned a while back that my oldest son (Chad) had been having really bad headaches for over a year now, after ruling out vision being the problem the Doctor ordered a CAT SCAN which came back completely clear, so we were sent to a neurologist for further test...his appointment was at 2:45 the doctor had been called to the hospital and had just returned as we took our seats (with MANY other waiting people) so around 4:30 they called Chad's name...Let me just add that Chad is 14 he wasn't in the lest excited about being there, and he expressed this to me and Pop (my Dad) EVERY 5 min...the Doctor was very kind and spent time asking questions and doing the exam, he thinks that Chad is having juvenile migraine's all signs point to this (pain on one side of head, twitching in eye, ect.) so he will start a medicine that he takes twice a day everyday (low dose) and medication that he can take IF he feels a headache coming on...we go back in six weeks to talk about if this seems to be working or not. If not we will do other test if necessary. I'll be honest there have been days while dealing with Chad and the headaches that have worried me alot but The past few weeks I have been at peace knowing he is in Gods hands and God has this under control...If I panic, Chad Panic's but if I trust God Chad will fallow and know to trust God. So continue to pray and believe with us that God will heal him.
On a side note Husband has been on the new job now for three days I feel very lost without him here at night, but I'm still trusting God in that area too. As a matter of fact Husband just called tonight while he was on his "lunch break" and said they have moved him to a different job which happens to come with 35 cents more on the hour..3 days on the job..Ahem..I would call that a God thing!! (grin)
