Skid Marks

Nicholas suddenly LOVES making skid marks.  I am still not used to the sound of it.  Every time I hear his screeching tires I cringe, imagining that it is a car screeching to a stop to avoid hitting one of my children.  It must be a phase that kids go through because I remember when Thomas did the same thing on the same bike.

Scoot Bike

A neighbor grew out of this bike and passed it down to Essie.  One of the training wheels broke, so Jackson and I decided to take off the pedals and let her scoot along on it.  It took her a while to get used to it, but now she LOVES it!  She cruises around on it, chasing after the boys.  I think we just might skip training wheels with her.

Hot Ride

Alexander makes this bike look good! 
 

We are so excited for Thomas's big day!  I am posting this here because I worked hard on it and want to have it in our family photo book.  We would love to have as many of our friends and family there as can make it! 

Mountain Biking

The day after Thomas' birthday, Judd and Amber invited us to go mountain biking with them for Newell's birthday. We had a blast! I had a fabulous time taking pictures of everyone, Jackson and Thomas loved riding the jumps and ramps, Nicholas and Essie favored climbing the hills, and Alexander ate dirt...yum. Jackson did convince me to get on his bike and go down the big hill once. I need some more practice and a bike that is my size. I am lucky I didn't crash!
