Riding a bike!


Well Travis loves to ride his bike, in fact his bike if one of his prized possessions. We got Parker a Superman bike with training wheels 2 years ago. Parker loved it at first and the last year he hasn't wanted much to do with it (cuz he fell off one day and blamed the bike). Travis decided the other night that it was time for Parker to get over his fear and he not only said he needed to ride his bike, but he took off the training wheels and said you are old enough to ride it with just 2 wheels.

Travis took Parker over to the church parking lot to start the teaching.
Parker kept checking to make sure Travis was still holding on.
Parker screaming once he realized that Travis had let go.
Within 20 minutes Parker decided he wasn't scared anymore and took off. The next day he asked to ride his bike at home. He took off again like a natural. So far he's only skinned his elbow, (which Travis told him was cool) so now he thinks he is really grown up.

That is so cool! Parker is growing up so fast! Travis is such a good dad. I remember doing the same thing Parker did when I learned how to ride my bike. I kept looking back to make sure my dad was still holding on! He is so cute!

By the way, we are still waiting for the phone call telling us you are coming to Vegas to visit! :)

Hannah is such a good big sister.   She loves to hold Olivia & play with her.  One day she got really quiet & I went in to check on her & she had fallen asleep with Olivia on her.  Tooo cute!!  Olivia 3 months old!  Trying to catch a smile on camera.  So Cute!!!

Who really reads my blog???

Well I haven't been good at updating my blog the past little while & often wonder if anyone really even reads my blog. I enjoy reading blogs of friends and family & get bothered when they don't update for months at a time. Well now I'm that person that isn't updating my blog. (oops!!) So I wanted to pass along a little bit of news and happenings at our home lately. Parker is enjoying being a 1st grader. He loves school & has just recently found a true love of reading. His favorite books right now are the Junie B. Jones (series) & The Magic School bus (series). He can't wait for spring to be here so he can start playing soccer again. Hannah keeps us busy. She is definitely a girl and has the attitude that goes along with it. She enjoys her dance class every week and preschool 2 X's a week. She's finally been convinced to write her name H-a-n-n-a-h instead of H-A-n-n-A-H. This battle took a while cause she insisted that she needed c

Haircut

Hannah has been telling me for months that she needs a haircut and that Janae needed to do it. On Sunday afternoon we went to my mom's house and Janae was there to cut Hannah's hair. She told Janae that she wanted a princess haircut. Here's one of the only before pics I took. The princess cut in progress. (That is my brother Kevin in the background) All the hair that was cut off. Drying the hair Janae & Hannah after the princess cut was done. (So Cute!!!) Thanks Janae you are so good at what you do. WE LOVE YOU!!!!
