Guess who is riding a bike?

I took off the training wheels for good Monday night and let him have a little go. He did pretty well. Then today, he decided he wanted to master it by himself. Just turned 4 and he's riding a 2-wheel bike! Whoohoo! Best of all, I only had to run behind him, holding on to the bike like 10 min. Monday night. That's it!

The boy was meant to ride.

Updates

It's been almost a month since I wrote, and while some people are so great at keeping updated, it seems like the more I have to write about, the less I have time to write. So here are a few events.

First off, preschool graduation. When asked what Bekah wanted to be when she grew up, she responded, "something on the stage!" Kyle, with no surprise to anyone, wanted to be a train engineer.

Because the boy is in love with trains, his birthday gift from Grandma was an outing ON Thomas the Train. Fantastic! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! He loved it. We all loved it and had lots of fun.

On our way back from Thomas the Train, we stopped for a nice hike at Bridal Veil Falls. So beautiful! Then it was off to shop for furniture. Not so fun.

Last Tuesday, Bekah hit the stage for her dance recital. Adorable. She did both ballet and tap, and was a "purple people eater" for tap. Thanks for all the family who came and watched. Really, it is love that brings out Mary, my parents, Grandma Bassett, and even Grandma Franklin to drive up and watch little girls walk on their tip toes in tutus.

Summer Lit program has started again, and it went great. I have such a great committee. When the main speaker didn't show, we didn't blink, but just brain stormed and came up with other fun ideas.

We also had Aunt Lorie up here from Houston, and we had a baby shower. Unfortunately, although I was in charge with Carolyn, I got really sick right before and had to leave a lot of the work up to her and mom. All's well that ends well.

Last event was a picture perfect (which I have no pictures of) evening at Bruce and Jeannies. The kids got to ride horses, we roasted marshmellows, sang songs, and had a barbecue on a perfect evening. All the while, cotton floated magically through the air.

Well, I can't figure out how to change the order of these pictures, so I will have to update about the house on the next blog. More to come.

Living the American Dream!

We have spent the day cleaning, lawn work, and now Rob's out mowin the lawn. We have gotten tons done, and the kids have actually been very helpful (it's amazing what an incentive an ice pop is!) How sweet it is.

This is it! A nice house, a nice garage, a nice yard, nice neighbors, nice kids, and a very nice husband. I'm living the dream!

There is so much to talk about. Our outing with Thomas the Train. This is the Place Monument. Preschool Graduation. Memorial Day Fun Run. Hiking. Pregnant. Oh, and we finally moved. But I still have a list of more stuff I needed to do. I was just overcome with the moment of watching my husband mow my lawn (and having my own garage) and wanted to share my joy.

More to come...
