Bike Riding

The kids have definitely been making the most of their bikes this summer. I am really glad they love riding so much. We usually ride in the yard since the heat wave has them ready to run into the air conditioner after an hour.

We recently met up with some friends at the park for some playground time and more bike fun.

I love sitting back and watching what a wonderful relationship J & C have. While we were outside Cait fell and was pretty upset. Immediately Jayden parked his bike, ran over to her, and dropped on all fours to give her a piggy bike ride that promptly led to a giggling fit.

Jayden and Cait were sick with a fever and spent a lot of the earlier part of this week laying down, resting, and being (understandably) crabby.

They started to feel better but not 100%, so we went out to the yard to bike ride. Jayden's bike was a touch too big which led to a lot of frustration for him.

 But Cait was nice and shared her bike with him.

So on Wednesday we went out and got him a new bike that fits him perfectly, we just need to adjust the handlebars.

It was really hot and the kids started sweating profusely after 30 minutes so we came in and enjoyed ice cream!

The Beach!

Last week we went to the beach. The kids had so much fun!

Fun with friends!

Earlier this week we headed over to Carolyn's house to play with Olivia. As always, the kids had lots of fun!

Random!

Sometimes we:

Have peanut butter on our faces

Dress in tacky clothes

Sit like a "lady"

Some days we sneak off to Mcdonalds for lunch and don't say anything to daddy until he reads it on the blog or sees it listed as a charge on the bank account. (Hi daddy! Aren't these smiles worth it?!)

 We go to Target to try on masks and look at toys that they want to save their money for.

 And sometimes we hang upside down.

Jayden is really interested in drawing and writing stories. We go through drawing pads so quickly here. I love looking at his pad at the end of each day, searching for new drawings and words from the day. Here is a city he drew.

Happy 4th of July!
