4 Wheels to 2 Wheels....

Brett has been asking to take his training wheels off for a couple of weeks. The day finally came and he was so excited. At first. For being a little daredevil, he was extremely cautious when it came to trying to ride his bike. He wouldn't keep going fast enough to keep the bike up no matter how good Mike's pep talk was.


He mastered the "lean" and was trying really hard. See the tongue hanging out? That's when you know he's really concentrating.


He'd make it a few feet and then just stop pedaling. We all know what happens when you stop pedaling and don't put your feet down.


You got it. Wipe out. A handle bar to the ribs.


And he's done. He wouldn't get on the bike again after that. He wanted his scooter.



Guess we'll try again another day.


Daredevil...



Let's Play Ball.....

This is what we've been up to every Monday and Wednesday evening since the end of April. Colton is loving baseball this year. It's more competitive and the kids are pitching.

Here's Colton warming up. Right after I took this picture, he looked at me, shook his head and said, "geez Mom, really?!"
Here he is playing first base. One of his favorite positions.

Here he is pitching. His favorite position and my most stressful position. I get so nervous that he's going to hit somebody (which he has) and more afraid that he's going to get drilled by the batter (which thankfully he has not).


Playoffs start next week. Go Blue Jays!
