Finally...A week of springtime

It has been way too long since we have had a nice day. We took full advantage of the sinshine and decided to get the bikes out. Tyson is almost 5 and we figured it was time for him to learn how to ride with no training wheels. Noah learned when he was 3-he has always been a kid with no fear whatsoever. Tyson, on the otherhand, is a big chicken.
So we headed off to the church parking lot for a flat surface and no traffic.



He did pretty good for his first time, but he was having a hard time keeping his balance.
Last year, Lani took a pretty good spill and wouldnt get back on her bike for the rest of the summer. She finally did it and we are so proud. Doesnt she look cute in her helmet, pads and dress. Serioulsly, I dont know where she gets it. She would where dresses everyday if she could.
Our neighbors gave Caleb this bike and he thinks he is so fast-its so funny. I dont think he realizes that what the purpose of training wheels is. He couldnt understand why Tyson couldnt ride his bike when Caleb was clearly so good on his.
Then he decided to be a little punk-he's good at that.
He sat on Tysons bike and wouldnt get off because he wanted the attention of Mommy and Daddy to help him ride his training wheel bike. I think Caleb would be able to learn to ride with no trainers faster than Tyson. He is just like Noah-No Fear. Actually, he is a little bit psycho.

Noah was just cruisin around as fast as he could. He was riding circles around Avery and she loved it.
She is such a big walker. She is so independent. The second we got there, she took of to the other end of the parking lot just becasue she could. She loves to wander.
And she loves to throw things she picks up off the ground.


We are proud of this little guy for trying. Practice makes perfect.

I guess we will have to wait a week or so for some better weather. Its supposed to snow tonight. Its awesome-its May 21, why woudnt it snow. Who needs spring anyway. Year round winter is so much better.
