Steve finally won

Steve has wanted a dirt bike for a long time, and I just wasn't so sure. So, some of our friends ganged up on me and convinced me that if he got the right gear it would be 'safe'. Ha!! Well, needless to say, Steve won. He is just using a friend's bike right now until he decides which kind he wants. The kids think it's great. Make sure you check out the other posting I did of the kids on the bike!!! When Trey got on the bike I knew instantly why I didn't want this bike. It's only going to be a matter of time before he is doing all of these crazy tricks while the bike is moving. I think I'm in real trouble.

What am I thinking???

Party time

Our neighbor Gracie had her birthday party at the Focus on the Family Center. They have a huge indoor playground. The girls had a great time. We are so lucky to have four little girls on our street that are Lizzie's age. They are great friends.

Horseback riding

Sam, Steve, Mark and Cassidy went horsback riding at the Air Force Academy. After they came back the insturctor at the stables let them ride on a horse they were training. Sam was in heaven. She hardly slept the night before and was up at the crack of dawn. It was a fun time for the girls to have a day with their daddys. Mark was excited to wear his 'shirt with the bib!!'

walking to school

The kids and I started walking to school the first day of school, and now we have three other families that walk with us. It's so fun, and it's nice for the mom's to have social time every morning.

Ready for school

Lizzie got new glasses yesterday. this is only her second pair since she was 15 months old, we are hoping that trend continues!!! She loves to eat cereal out of a bag while we walk the kids to school in the morning. She was in charge of snacks for pre-school today, the highlight of her week!!!!

opening day of soccer

Trey and Sam started soccer today. They did GREAT!! I was so proud of Sam, she really is aggressive. She played defense and she was a WALL!!! Trey played offense today and was very close to scoring today, maybe next week!! It was a beautiful day (thankfully!!) and Lizzie was great even after spending three hours doing soccer today. It was fun for me to work on my farmers tan!!
