Ella Rides a Bike

We were so thankful to have a house where the kids can get outside and learn to ride bikes! I had been wanting to take the training wheels off Ella's bike, but kept forgetting to ask Phil to do it. Well, yesterday he did. After about five minutes of holding on and running behind she had it. Then she soon learned to get it started by herself and brake and turn. Within an hour she was racing up and down the street as fast as her legs could pump. It is so fun to experience something like riding a bike for the first time!

Afternoon Tea


We were all supposed to go on a trip for the weekend to Coarsgold. Unfortunately, the Hall's had sick kids. So, me and the kids stayed home. Due to much sadness because of the cancelled "sleep over" I decided to try to make staying home as fun as possible. Saturday I made cinnamon rolls and we had "Afternoon Tea", minus the tea (hot chocolate was the drink of choice). The girls dressed up and had so much fun. Mommy was exhausted and wore sweats and flour (from all the dough)!

Adam is 6 Months Old!


Yes, already! Half a year old! I can't believe it. It has gone too fast. But we are all so enjoying him. He can (mostly) sit up, roll, talk, laugh, and smiles almost all the time. The other day at church we had a pot-luck. He was passed from person to person (people were waiting to hold him). Smiling and happy the whole time with whoever had him. He is such a blessing and it has been so sweet to watch how each girl loves him differently. They each have their own way to make him smile, calm him down, and keep him busy until I can get him.
