Learning to ride...

I am SOOOO behind on my blog.  These are from August 4th.  We exchanged Madi's helmet for a bigger size and I love it.  Isn't she super cute?!?!!

This is the first time she rode her bike outside.  It was a fun night.  We all went out to watch her and help her.   

Derrick pumped the tires on his bike and showed her what to do. It was great!

Easton followed behind her, wanting a turn. :D 

She was so funny.  She would concentrate so hard on pedaling that she would forget to look where she was going.  We had to steer for her.  She will get the hang of it. 

Part way through she was sure that if she wore sunglasses she could pedal AND steer.  I love her!!! 

Easton literally paced the sidewalk in front of the house waiting for his turn.  If Madi got off the bike, he would race to it and try to get on.  It was so cute! 

Easton must have got bored waiting, cause he went and turned the sprinkler on so he could play with something too.  Madi decided that looked fun and was done with the bike after the water turned on.   

Easton totally adores Madi.  He idolizes her!  He tries to do everything she does.  First thing in the morning he is knocking on her door, wanting her to wake up so they can play.  He gives her hugs and kisses all throughout the day.  He LOVES his big sister!!! 

Kids like to do two things with sprinklers... step on them... 

...and sit on them.

 Love this grin!

Easton was so cute in the sprinklers.  He loves water and seeks it out.  He might just be the next Micheal Phelps.

Taking a break...

This is my favorite picture!  I love his face! (Do you like the art work on our door and brick?  I have that best chalk artists living with me is you would like to update your facade. :D)

Sup?

I love cool summer nights.  I love spending time with my little family, out on the lawn, relaxing with Derrick, watching the kids laugh and play.  That is my perfect night!
