Professional Bike Rider

Taylee got her big girl bike today. We dressed her in long pants and a long sleeve shirt. We made sure that she had on her knee pads, elbow pads, and helmet. We also gave her a pep talk about always getting back on the bike even if she got hurt and to never give up.
We put her on the bike. Sean started pushing her. I pulled out the bandaids. Sean let go. And off she went. Without ever falling.
I always thought that it was part of taking off the training wheels to have a few falls and bumps and bruises. Guess not. Taylee has been zooming around the neighborhood all afternoon. Crazy girl :-)



Sean's safety check! Haha!

Sad...

When you look over at your kids and they have both swiped a phone and are zoned in on playing games.

Preschool Graduation

Taylee had a graduation party on her last day of preschool. Her teacher played a slideshow of pictures that had been taken during the year and told us cute stories about each of the kids. It was so much fun! She's only been out of preschool for a week but she is already missing her friends and teacher :-( But she is excited for kindergarten and hopes that some of her friends will be in her class.

Double-Trouble Birthday Party

Brynlee celebrated her birthday with her cousin Asher. They were born less than 24 hours apart and are best friends...



Brynlee had a great time at her birthday party. Thanks to everyone who was able to come and celebrate with us!

Here is Brynlee's half of the cake.

And I love this picture! Asher tried to blow out Brynlee's candle and Brynlee tried to blow out Asher's candle. Asher was faster and did not want Brynlee's help. They are funny together!

Brynlee's Birthday

Brynlee turned 3!!! We call her our Bryn-zilla because she has such a spunky personality. She can make you laugh and want to tear your hair at the same time. Right now she wants to do everything that Taylee does. I hear "Me too" at least 10 times a day. She wants to be a big girl but still loves to cuddle with mommy. Oh how I love my Bryns!

She loved all her presents, but her favorite was the scooter she got from Taylee.
Of course, Daddy had to try it out as a safety precaution :-)

Taylee's Sacrifice

Taylee has been earning Kid Bucks for a new bike. She also was earning Kid Bucks for a birthday present for Brynlee. I talked to her about what she could get for Bryns and how much each would cost. After a while Taylee asked what she could get for Bryns if she spent ALL of her kid buck. The answer was a scooter. Taylee grinned and said she wanted to do it. All her Kid Bucks for a scooter for Brynlee. All because it would make Brynlee happy (that was her answer when Sean asked her why).
I love my little girl.

Stay Away...

From our house!! We are officially quarantined for at least a week. Paxton was diagnosed with an ear infection and viral pneumonia on Friday! And now Bryns is coming down with a cough and runny nose. Yuck! Maybe the Urgent Care will give us a discount :-)
