Nice Day and New Bikes

Hey All,
Here are the promised pictures of the nice day and the new bikes. It took us a week or two before we got everything squared away with Molly's bike. We tried to get a new bike the very next day, but that was when Colin threw up, (in the store) ugh! So, needless to say, we didn't get another bike that day. The first couple of pictures were taken before the new bike. The poor girl tried to cram herself into and onto the "old" riding toys.

"So, where's my new bike, huh?"


"I will just test drive Colin's for him."

This is one cool kid! He loves his new big wheel.

The kid can't even jump yet and here he is trying to jump rope. I think he must have seen Sportacus jumping rope on Lazy Town. ??? Not sure how else he knew what to do.

Going for a little drive. What else is a girl to do when she doens't have a bike she can fit on? Oh yeah, cram into a car like a clown! :)

Here we go... the new bikes!

Here she is pretty frustrated. She was having trouble pedaling. In her defense, our driveway has a decent incline. I was trying to coach her, but our learning styles are pretty different. (That is the nice way of saying that we were driving each other nuts!)

Now, she is mad! Oh, she can be such a grouch! It was shortly after this though, that she found determination and did it.

One last pathetic, poor me pose. The funny thing is, right after this, she jumped on and was pretty much a pro! She is so goofy!

She's getting it!

Even Colin was trying to pedal. Bless his heart, his feet can't quite reach all the way yet.

Okay, so this isn't outside or bikes, but I had to throw this one in. Isn't it about the cutest picture ever?!?! I am glad that like each other and I really hope it stays this way!
Until next time...

Oh my gosh - This sure brings back memories of Michael learning to ride a bike. If fact, Todd was peddling at 2 years old and taught Michael. Sorry Emily... she is pretty much her dad.
