No more training wheels!

It has been a beautiful couple of days. We have spent the majority of the time outside. We went for a bike ride after lunch today and Grace asked if we could practice without training wheels. She tried with Ross for about 15 minutes and did go for a very short distance by herself before she stopped herself because she thought she was going to fall. Then said she wanted to have a little quiet time in the house. So, we rested.


After about and hour of quiet time she wanted to try again, so Grace and I gave it a try. It took her about 5 tries and she was on her own without training wheels. Then after about 30 minutes of practicing, I taught her how to start on her own.(I was starting to get tired of chasing after her to get her going once she stopped herself) She got that in about 5 tries as well. She caught on very quickly. She is so excited!

After supper we headed out for a bike ride for some ice cream. She did awesome. Can't believe she can ride a bike without training wheels. She did notice right away that she can go faster without them!:)

Charlie...I love this kid.

William outside in his car. I am a little worried about this kid this summer. He wants to be outside ALL the time. If he isn't he sits by the door and cries. When he is outside and it is time to come in, he screams. He could live outside if we let him.

Charlie and William thought it was a good idea to play in the mud. Surprisingly they weren't that dirty!

There goes the snow. Thank goodness. I am glad to see it go. It is nice to see the grass again, however it will be better once it isn't all squishy and muddy.
