Crash and Burn!

Yes, it happened! Rusty was riding his 4-wheeler to Grandma Debbie's and half way there Kirby parked his wheeler and made him ride the rest of the way with him. So he was acting like stunt man a little to much for Kirby to handle.
After a good visit with Grandma, Kirby and the boys each hopped on their 4-wheelers with instuctions from dad to go slow, and headed for home. I was driving a little ways behind them in the Aspen. As I came around the bend I was wishing I was dreaming. It was one of those sights that you hope you never see as a mom. You know Rusty laying on the road, Kirby hovering over him and the 4-wheeler in the borrow pit!
I jumped out so scared I couldn't even talk. Kirby quickly reassured me he was okay and proceeded to pull the wheeler off it's top. Luckily uncle Joe drove by just in time to help us get the 4-wheeler home, so I could drive Rusty the rest of the way.
Rusty was very upset and scared. He says he is never ridding his 4-wheeler again!
I'm not sure that's a bad thing.
I am just so glad he was wearing a helmet. I am glad Kirby is persistent about wearing one.
So all is well,thankfully. And he came out with a little road rash on his side. Rusty was very willing to show off his war wound so he could be blogged. :)
Kirby said this morning, "Rusty's first crash, but you know it won't be his last!"
I wasn't ready to hear that!!!!! The joys of having boys!!! :)

Big guy! He was probably scared right when it happened, but now he knows how tough he is! He is so cute, he just puts a smile on my face when I see his happy glow he has about him!

Thank goodness Rusty is okay! I bet you about freaked out! Oh he is such a little Kirby! Geez, moms can only take so much. Good luck with your boys! I don't think Kirby is going to be much help with that scary stuff! LOL! You've seen him on a sled!
