Learning to Ride a Bike

There was a little bike that someone left in our front yard for a few days, so T.J. decided to try it out. He just hoped on and started riding all over the place. I couldn't believe it because we hadn't done anything to try to teach him how to ride a bike yet (he hadn't even ridden with training-wheels). All he had practiced on was his tricycle and Big Wheel. That is one thing about T.J., though, when he wants to do something he is VERY determined and focused to achieve his goal. I love this boy and think he is pretty incredible! This was the easiest bike-riding lesson ever! :)






Young Entrepreneurs

T.J. and Jaymon love to have "stands" to sell lemonade, Kool-aid, toys, candy, or whatever else I will let them sell. Maybe they will be great business-men someday! For now, they are just really cute! :)



Pumpkin Patch

T.J.'s preschool class had a field-trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Jaymon, Ray, and I also came along at T.J.'s request. The boys both got to pick their own pumpkins (they just had to be able to carry their own). This is always a fun autumn activity!


My cute boys!

Visit to Grammie's House

We went to Utah to Taylor's parents' home for a few days to have some fun with the grandparents and also be a part of the baby blessing of our niece, Savannah. We watched movies with Grammie, played with cousins, and went to a pumpkin patch and corn maze with Grandpa.

Sticker Art

Jaymon decided it would be fun one day to decorate Mom while she was rocking Ray - silly kid! I decided to let him since it kept him occupied and he was so proud of his work! :)
