Riding a big boy bike...

My BFF teacher friend...Amy told me tonight that she was going thru blog withdrawals because I have not posted in so long. To say that I've been busy would quite be the understatement. Brad and I have not spent a night together this week...kissed each other in passing. Seriously. If it's not Megan at cheer in H'burg, it's volleyball games, or another type of school function for one of the six of us. Crazy...but gotta love it. O and I just take it moment by moment to handle it all.

Ok...So....look who's a big boy now and riding a bike with no training wheels. He never started out on training wheels. He used Carson's "walk bike" with no petals on it and really learned balance. So when he would sale past us on the walk bike we informed him once he learned how to ride Carson's old bike we would take him to Wal-Mart to get one of his own.

He was soooo determined. He wanted to practice constantly. Brad is sooo good with this stuff. He made sure when he taught Gage that he also taught him how to start off himself instead of relying on us to start him each time...took a little longer but sure paid off in the long run.

He was so excited after about a week we informed him he was ready for a bike of his own. He picked out a lime green one with hot wheels on it. Even has a motorcycle like sound on one of the handle bars. Too cute and he is soooo proud of it. Brad took off a kick stand off an old bike and put it on his new one...that was a major request from Gage b/c wants to be big like Carson. O and only bike 20inch and up come with kick stands...go figure!
