No more training wheels!


Yesterday, Jessica decided it was time for Christopher's training wheels to come off. I am not quite sure why she thought to take them off, but he was READY! I only had to hold the back of his seat for about 30 seconds and I could tell he was ballancing himself. There isn't a whole lot of room to ride around in our driveway, so we took the kids over to the church parking lot and he did great! He has trouble starting on his own and stopping without crashing. But no skinned knees (as of yet--we know they are coming) or major trauma. It was a neet feeling to see my oldest child ride without training wheels.

Jen & Brant left for Kansas on Monday. We were sad to see them go, but happy for them and the new job and house. Good Luck guys! The kids were sad to be seperated. Our kids loved playing with their kids. Sunday night they played at grandma Waddoups' while we visited. We will surly miss them.

Have you ever seen the cartoon "Recess?" The children behind the fence remind me of the kindergartners in that show. Kudos to Topher, that is a big accomplishment.

They are like the diggers on the same cartoon.

Good call Tyler. Now all you need is the upside down girl and your life will be complete.
