She's a Big Girl now!

So 2 weeks ago Carlee finally wanted to try to ride her bike without the training wheels. She has been really scared to take them off (we've been trying for months). So she tells Mike, "dad, please take my training wheels off, I think I want to try it now". So Mike takes them off she gives it a couple of tries and totally gets the hang of it after a couple times! She then walks over and picks up the training wheels and throws them in the trash and tells Mike, "I don't need those anymore, I'm a big girl now and I can ride my bike like a big girl!". Well.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She is loving every minute she gets to spend outside on her bike.

She also keeps up with the other neighborhood kids pretty well now. Go Carlee!

My, not so little, boy

We got another new camera and Mike happened to snap a picture of Logan. He is really starting to look "older" to me. He's not my "little" boy anymore. Oh, how fast they grow! (sniff, sniff)

The Last One

This was our last Dune trip of the season (it's just too dang hot to go now!).

We took Mike's 2 cousins, Michaela & Makenzie, with us. They had a great time and they were very helpful with all the kids. They are such good girls! We went for Spring Break and Easter.

It was a lot of fun and the Easter Bunny even found the kids way out in the the big sand box

(they were really worried about this...they thought he wouldn't find them).

As usual the kids made out like bandits with the Easter loot!

Michaela and Makenzie had a great time ridin' around in the Rhino.

The little kids got to play in a small swimming pool on 2 of the afternoons

because it got a little warm in the sun. Thanks grandma & grandpa for bringing this!

It helped keep them cool and entertained!

I know, I know...

I know it's been a while since I posted. It's been busy since Spring Break, Easter, and several family birthdays. I will see if I can get this up to date...bear with me. :-)
