When Kaleb & I got home from school today, Donnie had Kaleb's training wheels taken off of his bike and all his protective gear laid out. With Donnie's hand on the back of his seat the whole time, Kaleb made it down the street about four houses and was ready to turn around and go back. Little legs get tired quickly!
Urs & Keith bought the boys motocross shirts... and they didn't take them off the entire weekend!
Sky spent the ENTIRE weekend on a bike, literally. We saw him for meals... and that was IT! Keith said he put well over 120 miles on it... which would have brought him back down to Atlanta from where we were in TN!!
Keith is SUCH a stud!!!!

Donnie spent almost as much time riding as Sky did. Did I forget to mention Donnie & I are getting bikes too? =)
Kaleb just could not go high or fast enough. Look closely at that little face of joy!!
Kaden can't get enough either!!
Of course, I had to take a turn too... although, Keith rides SO fast I was a little scared!
We rode off to a waterfall and dropoff. Keith teased Kaleb saying we were going to get on the bikes and jump over to the other side... but Kaleb thought it was a great idea. On the way back, he asked Keith to do a wheelie the whole way... a bit tough, even for Keith.

Sky got on the 150 for the first time without any trouble, even though the bike weighs more than twice his weight, & headed straight for the big boy track. We all are COMPLETELY blown away at what a natural he is!!
You CAN'T go camping without having a bonfire... and making s'mores!!! =)

I'm SO fortunate to have such a great sis-in-law!

Donnie & his friends had to get a photo in front of an old red English phonebooth, and actually searched for one.
We love getting together with several of our ward friends for bbqs... there's something about fun conversation and good food. Shelly let the cat out of bag and told me her birthday was next Wednesday... so I had no choice but to pull one over on her by having the bbq in her honor. Her hubby, Jason, and I filled my house with 50 pink balloons... which all the kids had a BLAST kicking around... pink streamers and I made a yummy chocolate raspberry cake (with some helping hands that added 2 tubs of frosting and white chocolate to drizzle over the top =). We even made her wear a tiara! It was SO much fun!!! I wish I would've gotten a photo of the look on Shelly's face once she walked in my door and saw what we were up to! =)
My fun playdate girls... Shelly, Leiah and Erin. Just a few more weeks, ladies... and we'll be back at it, soaking in some sun rays!!
I am so happy to have Shelly & Jason living just down the street from us! We get together and have so much fun... and best buddies Kaden & Braydon LOVE it!!! Although, I need to keep Donnie away from beautiful little Ambria... because he's always picking her up giving me those puppy eyes. I swear, he's dreaming in pink WAY worse than I am!!! (He's still in England... so I played the 7th wheel today. Lol!!)
Leiah & James also live in the neighborhood... so we're doubly spoiled. Leiah is a good friend to have when you like food... she brings the BEST dishes to our bbqs. I literally have cravings for her homemade bread!! Not to mention, I can't get enough of their two daughters! It's great having them over to balance out all the testosterone floating around!!
Aaron & Erin don't live in our subdivision, but are so sweet to drive way out into the country for our bbqs... that must mean we're really cool. =) Getting Jason & Aaron together is a riot... I love hearing their flying stories!
Kaleb has been home from school for the last 3 days now because he came down with a fever & bronchitis early Sunday morning. Thank goodness, his fever finally broke this morning and he's starting to be himself again... although a bit crankier and still isn't eating much.
I LOVE his little toes!!!
So while Sky & Kaden were working hard in school... Kaleb & I decided to enjoy the gorgeous 80 degree sunshine, and jumped on the trampoline for a little while.
It's so funny how much air Kaleb can get when he jumps with either me or Donnie... he usually ends up on his rear!! Haha!!!
Even though Kaleb wasn't feeling well... it was really nice to be home with him, like the good ole days. And a day of hooky, every now and then, never hurts!!

... he asks you to fix his hair before school!!! All the sudden, Kaden decided he needs to look 'cool' now... like a rockstar, he says. Yikes... Sky didn't care about his hair until just a few years ago... when he informed me 'the girls like the curls.' Aren't they just a riot??
