Weekend Fun...

The past couple weeks had been pretty busy, so it was nice to have a fun and relaxing weekend with the kids. I should have been in the house cleaning, but the neighbors came out and Uncle Joe was nice to blow up the water slide and run warm from his garage sink for the girls; so of course I had to stay outside to snap some pictures. The girls had a blast. C wanted nothing to do with it, so he had fun all on his own.

Look at that devilish smile! It is that cute face and little dimple that saves him from getting in trouble (most of the time).


Doesn't he just look handsome hanging out on the big boy bike. Notice his feet don't even touch the peddles!


M was loving the water slide. Nice goggles, such a goober!


This was her second day without training wheels. Yes, she did have a busy weekend. No more training wheels, horse back riding, and play with friends; such a busy busy girl. Unfortunately all the fun stopped a little after this picture. M wiped out on her bike and ended up with a horribly scrapped up elbow and a lot of tears. Looking at this picture, people might think we beat her up. Look at all the bruises on her legs and the nice scrape on her face, ugh!

Giddie Up...

M had been asking for a very long time to go see horses. So Mike arranged for her to go horse backing riding at a friends farm and obviously she had a blast.

Look Mom, Two Wheels...

On my way home from work Denise called me and said that M wanted her training wheels off her bike and that Mike was in the process of removing them. We had been bugging M to take them off because she really was not using them. Mike had moved them up, so they were not even on the ground any more. I guess her friends were riding down the grass in the green belt and Mike said she could not do it with training wheels, so she said "take them off!".

And she's off....



She is so proud of herself, and we are so proud of her!



C man was watching his sister ride.



As usual I was not home for the big event, so Denise was nice to take pictures for me. Thanks Ese. I hate missing these moments!!
