And....he's off!

A few weeks ago Ty begged Mark to take his training wheels off, but when he couldn't ride right away, he begged Mark to put them back on. This happened a few times. Then, last week he asked me to take the training wheels off. I almost said, "Let's wait 'til Dad gets home". But, then I thought, 'I can take stinkin' training wheels off! I know how to use a wrench!!' So, I did. Then Ty promptly hopped on and rode down the sidewalk!!! I wasn't anywhere near him, let alone holding onto the back of his seat like people normally learn how to ride a bike!! If I remember right, Sam did the same thing when he was four.

Carter, one of Ty's good friends, learned how to ride his bike on the same day! (Preston learned a week before) Now that's all they want to do! (including Noah on his trike) They look like a mini bike gang.. :)

Weekend Getaway!

We are blessed to have wonderful, kind friends! The Hansen's invited us up to their cabin in Bear Lake for the weekend. It was a lovely time! It was Brittany, Jon and their four boys, us and our four boys and a girl, and Shane and Sarah Anderson and their two boys and a girl. Poor Ella and Drue! :) Here's the rundown:

The Cabin (Jon built it himself!!)



Fun at the beach:











Devin made "Lake T"
Brittany and Cameron: (Brittany grew up in Littleton and went to school with my cousin Diana!)

Sarah with Drue, Cole, and Zach:

4-wheeling!:



We left Saturday night, and stopped on the way out for "Famous Raspberry Shakes", they were delish! A fun time was had by all! Thanks, again Hansen's!!
