Milestones

Ok...first the "big" news around here....i say "big" because what I think is BIG Don laughs:) I guess when you become a mother of toddlers....just about anything can become BIG in your mind;) Onto the news....the girls like to go down to the basement and ride their bikes (our basement isn't finished for those that don't know, so it is great for those kinds of things). Up until two days ago they would ride their Dora big wheel bikes....Taylor can use the pedals and ride FAST....Maddie didn't know how to pedal so she would just use her feet and go fast...well, two days ago Taylor came running upstairs saying "Mommy, she's doing it...she is a big girl now." I went down to see and sure enough she can pedal...she is so proud. Taylor doesn't think Maddie pedals fast enough...so she puts her bike against that back of Maddie's so she can go fast:) Big News right!! I thought so!!



The girls also got cute new haircuts...see pics below.....the bangs are still growing out but at least their hair is shorter. I signed the girls up for a ballet class they are doing at the church...i think it is going to be fun for them.....it is for 3-6 year olds and they will teach some ballet moves and then have a devotional. It is priced VERY reasonablly, so we thought the girls would have fun with that. Pics with the kids in tutus...coming soon:) class starts the end of august...and if we are allowed to drop them off and we don't have to stay there every week...my husband and i might just get a date night out of this too!!



Don leaves tomorrow for Florida for a YFC regional conference. He flys from Florida to Sacramento for another conference and then gets home on the 13th of August. We did get to order Don a Power Wheelchair that will break down and fit into cars when he travels...we'll have it in a month...we are both pretty excited about the independence this will give him at home and when he travels. He has never owned a power wheelchair before so this will all be new to us. I am sure there will be at least two toddlers asking for rides on the wheelchair. That is it for now...enjoy this pics...I finally got the camera out!!!
