I took the training wheels of Linc's bike today - Carter said he didn't want to learn to ride without them but Linc did so off they went, he couldn't quite get it, although, with the size of his bike I think with some practice he could totally do it (he can put his feet down so easily!).

This afternoon Carter decided he'd try and after 20 minutes he had it! He looks a bit big for the bike and he is, but I'm afraid his bike will be really hard to manage & lead to a little more injury so we are going to practice on L's bike for a while. Lots of fun milestones this summer, swimming & biking - exciting and sad at the same time!

Mimi got to witness this milestone & forgot I had the camera when she was playing around with the boys -she looks pretty good on the bike too!

For Father's day the boys made Sean a bed for the living room floor - they were really proud of their creation - it wasn't so bad, I even took a little cat nap on the floor on Sunday. They spent the rest of the day fishing & playing hair salon (something I never thought would happen in my house!).

This might be one of my favorite pictures of all time - he said "hey, mom, take a picture of

me" and stuck his finger up his nose. It just makes me laugh! I hope it does the same for you.

We did lots of swimming with friends this week & Carter is swimming! He needs lots of practice and we might do another set of lessons to work on the fundamentals but he can swim! Linc can too with help from the puddlejumper (that thing he is wearing!) and is doing great at the pool! Fun in the sun for us this summer - let's just hope my hair doesn't turn green like it used to!

Marah's Visit

We had a great visit with M-cat! She sure is a great big cousin! We all learned a lot last week - I learned about Justin Bieber (thanks to Never Say Never) and she learned that her aunt can be a cry baby at movies (Soul Surfer was good!). Thanks for coming Marah, we love you!

Grandma's 2nd Annual Sleepover

not sure if she planned on the sleepover being an annual tradition but pretty sure the kids do!
