{At Last!}

This week was fun.....the boys were so excited for Veterans Day, no school! My Mom had the fun idea to go bowling, and we had so much fun last time so we were up for it again. My boys are so photogenic....




Go Mom!


Cute Brittany


Kade came too...but kept disappearing to go play at the arcade inside. We had fun!
Yesterday Ethan and Rhett learned how to ride their bikes with no training wheels. Ethan's friend Cody learned how so he's been begging for Daddy to take off his wheels! He learned so fast, and was so proud!





So if the 4 year old can do it....then his 7 year old brother needs to learn how, right? Rhett does not like trying new things unless he can do them perfectly...so he's never had the desire to take of his training wheels and we've never pushed him. So I made him do it, and after just about 3 minutes he had the hang of it also. Woo hoo, go boys!
They rode all over on Saturday, and I took them out for a long ride tonight also. Now they are snug asleep in bed and I am loving life! I hope everyone else had a fun week!

WOW! GO Ashton boys! That is so great. A little healthy competition never hurts right? They look so big riding their bikes. We also love to go bowling. Payton especially enjoys it. Fun times!

Wow I'm impressed that Ethan can ride without training wheels. He seems like he's going to be a pretty athletic kid.

My 5 year old has been asking to take his training wheels off. We haven't yet, but really need to. You might have just given me the little push that I need.

Learning to ride without training wheels can be scary for some kids. Kieran waited till he was about 7 as well but he took to it like a duck to water and now we can't keep him off his bike. Last year was the first year he was old enough to ride his bike to school by himself. he was so cute and rpoud about it. So just wait till Ethan gets there. He will think he is so cool! LOL

Bowling, bike riding, thanks for the inspiration :) It's so much fun to see our kids proud of a new achievement!

Great job Ethan and Rhett! It is amazing how after they learn that is all that they want to do. This last week, we have been teaching Alyssa. She almost has it. Although, I wish she could have learned in 3 minutes like your boys...it would have been much easier on this 7 month pregnant lady's back.

How much fun! No more training wheels, what's next....a permit?? Wish we could slow time down just a little. Your boys are so fun, I love being around them!
