Yard Sales



So our IMAC computer is having problems uploading our pictures to websites or blogs! ugh! why is this happening. anyway, I am at Pointe Pest Control again today working for the next few days. Well today Marc was driving home from work and stopped at a yard sale and found 2 50 ccs dirt bikes. Of course you know how much my husband loves ATVs and bikes, so out of curiosity he asked the lady how much she was selling them for, and she told him $950 for both, 0r $450 each. He immediately called me and asked me if I wanted them (why would I want a dirt bike for my 2 yr old crazy son?) I told him it was too much money and Ryder is too young for that anyway, and I don't want him riding dirt bikes, I'm ok if he wants to ride 4-wheelers cause they're safer. He began trying to convince me by saying that he would put training wheels on it and that it came with a free helmet , boots, and other gear. He asked me if he could offer the lady $300 for one of them, so I said sure because I knew that there was no way she would say yes. Well not only did she say yes, but told him he could have both for $600! Marc and I drove over there, he wanted to show me the bikes and of course convince me to get them. Well I said ok, and now we have to little dirt bikes. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with Ryder riding dirt bikes, it's kind of scary. We are going to sell one of the bikes for $600. I guess we did get a good deal , we got so much stuff, we got 2 helmets, knee pads, boots, elbow pads, pants, gloves, chest protector thingamajiggers? lol, and even a pink riding suit and gloves for our future daughter! Why do boys like dangerous things? Here is a picture of the bikes we got


They are cute, but they are really fast, they are racing bikes! great just what we needed right? better keep our health insurance.


Well after that, I was on my way to work here and I saw another yard sale and saw Tony Little's Gazelle machine. My sister just bought one and she really likes it, they are about $200 new. The lady was asking 75 for it, but I talked her down to 50 and bought it, I've been running 2-3 miles every day and dieting so I can lose some weight, I hope this machine helps me. this is what it looks like

I will tell you how it goes, I have 10 more lbs to lose.
By the way, Ryder won't be riding the bike until he is at least 3 and it will have training wheels!
I will post pics of our family when I figure out what is wrong with my computer
