Determined

So Katie keep asking for her training wheels to be taken off. We would take them off and she would try to ride her bike. Then she would stop riding and I would want them back on so she could keep practicing with them on. She would insist that they stay off. So we had to put them on so she could ride her bike for a bike parade at church. Two days later she wanted them off. So Rich took them off for her. I went outside last night and she could pedal a little before she got scared and stopped. By the end of the night she had it down. NO training wheels. She is one determined little girl.

SUMMER FUN

One of our water fights turned into spraying everyone with the hose. Kyle doesn't like the grass so he stays on the driverway. He likes to do his spider man crawl. Ryan decided to join him.

Lemonade anyone?

Ryan is always trying to find ways to make money. He enlisted his sister Katie to help him. He first wanted to sell 1 cup for $5. I had to explain that is to much. Then he went down to $1. I had to explain you could by a sode for that price, unless he was going to use bigger cups. He finally setteled on .15 cents for a cup. He made $4.20 that's after charging me for some. He had some people give him extra money for the effort. He thought that was cool. I had to explain to him that he owed me money for the cool aid and lemonade. But in the end I let him keep the money. He worked hard and had fun.

Kyle was fussy one day and just wanted to chew and suck on everything. So I decided to get out the pacifiers to see if that would make him a little happier. As you can see that lasted for a minute. First Natalie got hold of them, then Katie wanted to give it a try. In the end Kyle didn't want them and was back to his happy self. I am still trying to find them all. Natalie took off with them and I haven't been able to find them. Eventually they will turn up.

Katie graduated from her 1st year of preschool.

She graduated well over a month ago. It has taken me a while to update. She enjoyed it a lot.

It was a fun season. It is fun watching 4 and 5 yr olds playing soccer. They all just hover around the ball. Katie had fun. It is interesting she has no problem taking the ball away from her brother, but when it came to taking it away from her opponent she couldn't do it.

camaro

The car dealer that Rich does work for finally received a new camaro. He got to take it back to the shop and tint the windows. When he asked Ryan to go with him, his eyes got really bike. They were both on top of the world.
