New Loves

Over the last few weeks each member of our family has discovered a new love. Enjoy.

Owen:
I decided it was time to let the kid have a go with the finger paints. He loved it! I had to laugh that Spencer has used the same apron for years and I have never had to wash it but after one round with Owen it may never come totally clean again. I love love those chubby little hand prints!
He can really haul behind this dump truck and loves pushing it all around the yard as he follows his big brother around. He's happy I promise.

Spencer:
His number one new love is climbing this tree. He feels so cool and was so proud of himself the first time he made it up and jumped down all by himself!
Baseball. He begs to play everyday.

Scott:
Scott loves to play catch. First it was with his Dad and brothers, then it was with me, and now he couldn't be happier that he has a son who loves to play with him.

Melissa:
My new love is this 70's beauty. I have been doing more riding lately and have wanted a road bike for a long time so I didn't have to keep riding my tween sized mountain bike. They are so expensive that the best option for a beginner like me was finding a used one. I found this on Craigslist and couldn't be happier. It's so fun to ride and came with some little extras that I love like the nice seat, foot straps and distance/time computer thingy. There are so many beautiful river trails near our home that I can go for miles and miles and not have to be riding in traffic and I've only wiped out into the bushes once Ü.

You are brave for pulling out the paint! I don't have the patience for it! Owen sure looks happy doing it though!

Spencer is growing up so much and doing such big boy things! Christian would be in heaven to have someone to play with like that!

Your bike...AWESOME! I lug my kids around in their bike trailer with my old mountain bike and it is a HAUL! Who cares how old the bike is...I'd trade mine in any day for that one!

Ah we SHOULD be biking buddies!! I LOVE the kickstand! I haven't seen one of those in forever. It is so much fun to be out and enjoying the great outdoors.
