Bikes!


It's official!  We are bike riders!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks Auntie Audra for the bikes, we are loving them!  We have each crashed a couple times but no broken bones yet.  Macy has a cut in her mouth, a hurt nose and Connor has a wounded knee but other than that we are great!  We keep getting back on so the excitement is still there!  Sadly Brian was out of town for the first ride so we got it on video.  They took to it so easily!  Mommy on the other hand is having a hard time pushing two bikes up the hill in our neighborhood.  The new rule is someone has to walk theirs up the hill.  :)  It's exhausting to "watch" them ride!

3rd Birthday Party!






We were successful at turning 3!!!!!  We had a great Dora and Diego party!  The bouncy house was a hit with everyone except Macy.  We finally got her in, but not for long.  She likes her feet on solid ground, not having her feet flipped up in the air by Connor!  Connor thought the more flipping the better.  We couldn't get him out of the bouncy house!  

They each got their own Happy Birthday song, and LOVED IT!  They had been talking about having their own song, and blowing out their candles.  You can see the smile on Macy's face when she is blowing out her candles.  She had waited for that moment for "forever" to her.  Connor enjoyed his song too, he had a hard time blowing out the candles because of his huge smile!  They got lots of great presents, and were excited to start playing with all of them.  

The whole family pitched in with the "Adventure" birthday.  All the cousins helped take the guests through the "adventure", including a slide, tunnel and the final destination being the bouncy house!    

This is the first birthday that it seems right that they are another year older.  The first two years flew by so fast that I just couldn't believe it was time for another birthday.  This year it seems like it is time for them to be 3.  They have come so far, and can do so much more than ever before.  I am finding this age to be my favorite!  (I say that every year!)  It just keeps getting better!  

I'm holding onto that, it's only getting better.  Each day holds new adventures and new opportunities to grow, both for them and me.  I'm cherishing each day.
