Longevity

When we lived in Provo at our first house, Alona was given an old bike of the Dome's. Well it has lasted a few years, had a few flats, and most recently had a tire ran over, which bent the rim. So we ended up going out and getting Alona a new bike and telling er this would be her birthday present, so that she would have a bike to ride all summer.

Not only Alona's bike got ran over, hers was just the first. Next was Abbi's then Kacen's, his was just a training wheel, which we replaced with Abbi's training wheel, so then Abbi learned how to ride with no training wheels. Then Kacen's bike got ran over again, rendering it useless because its rim was bent. And last and hopefully least Abbi's bike got ran over, but wait Abbi's didn't get ran over by us...her bike got ran over by the neighbors. Our neighbors graciously came over and let us know that they would like to take Abbi to pick out a new bike. So today Abbi got to go with the neighbors to pick out a new bike, a pretty, very girly and colorful bike.

(Almost finished, has one pink rim that needs to be fixed
and a few other spots that were hard to get)

And while she was out and about, Mom and Kacen got to town, brought out the acrylic paints and painted the old bike that we got from the Dome's. We turned it in to a boys bike and then daddy made it so it had two tires and rims from the different bikes that had been ran over. And now miraculously, with many ran over bicycles all of the children have working bikes!
