Pick your nose? That's what Ty is doing! :)
Despite the weird weather, we are still having a great summer so far...
We planted our garden.
It's hard to see, but we found a nest in one of our hanging flower baskets. It started out with 4 eggs, but now there are 2 babies and 2 eggs. We love checking on it every night. Although I feel really bad because the mommy bird always flies into our tree and yells at us.
The girls had their pictures taken yesterday, and here are some shots of how cute I did their hair. :)
We have spent most of our free time riding our bikes! It has been a blast. It started out rough. Meaning, Bronwyn cried the ENTIRE time the first time we rode. In her defense, she didn't really know what she was doing. And since she is a very anxious child, I think the whole situation was pretty overwhelming for her. She gets so much better each time we ride. Magdalen and I are using a tandem bike, so that means that I do most of the work. :) I love having her so close though. We sing and talk. She loves it. She always says, "Mom, it's what we've always wanted!".
I really want to raise an active family, so I got really excited when I found this awesome baby seat for Ty. It can go on my bike or Todd's, but Todd usually takes Ty since I already have Magsy. It is really the only activity that all 5 of us can do together, and we all enjoy it. Todd has spent alot of time putting bikes together, tightening joints, checking tire pressure, loading the bikes in and out of the van etc. etc. etc. I worry that one day he won't find it fun enough to do all the work for us! It was all my idea, and I have totally forced my family into this hobby. But I think we will stick with it. :)
Tonight we took our bikes to Todd's parent's neighborhood, so I put my mother in law on camera duty. :)
Todd's aunt and uncle were visiting, so we totally crashed the party and stayed through dinner.
We all enjoyed some ice cream!
And Ty even got a wagon ride.
Summer: So far, So good!
Love the bikes! And I love, love the picture of Magsy and her beautiful hair! She looks adorable, so does Bronwyn of course!
ReplyDeleteYour kids are the cutest on the planet! Just sayin'.....
ReplyDeleteTy looks so pleased with himself in that first photo! That is the cutest picture of a kid picking his nose that I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing at fixing your girls' hair. Every time I see them, their hair is perfect!
Love the bikes--what an excellent family activity. You motivate me so much, Marie!
C*U*T*E, C*U*T*E, C*U*T*E! Their hair is adoreable! Ty is disgusting, as all boys should be, so cute! I loved that he was pushing Magsy in the stroller. I am GREEN with envy over the bikes. Looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the biking idea! It looks like a lot of fun and great that everyone can participate!
