Bike Ride

Just a little fun on the bikes tonight!!

Cooper still loving to ride his bicycle
 Reagan getting ready for more practice
 Greg came home from work just in time to ride bikes with the kids for a little while
 Look Ma, NO TRAINING WHEELS!!!!
 she's doing it all by herself
this is only her second time to practice without training wheels ~ look at her go!
I have to admit I got a little teary eyed watching her ride a bicycle without training wheels ~ when does this growing up phase stop?

Last Field Trip of Summer


getting the goggles on just right
Cooper enjoyed spending the day at the pool 
 jumping off the diving board into 15ft water
 Reagan showing Cooper around the pool
 I'd say he enjoyed the slide
 back to swimming
 she has become such a good swimmer this summer

 waiting his turn in line
 no day at the pool would be complete without a snack
 he loved to sit in the waterfall
 I love these two so much!
 more turns down the slide
 back to swimming
 riding the "waves"
 Cooper spent most of the day going down the slide
 Reagan joined him a few times
 Cooper made lots of friends today
 Isn't she the sweetest
 Cooper skipped his nap at school today ~ can you tell?
 Reagan giving her brother a few kisses
 drying off in the sun
It was a great last field trip for summer camp ~ I'm so glad Cooper and I got to spend it with Reagan!

Spontaneous Sunday

After church, our life group decided to have a spontaneous lunch outing.  We haven't all been together in a while because of busy summer schedules, so it was nice to catch up and just be together again.  Can't wait for life group to start back soon. 

the gang's (almost) all here
 After dinner tonight, we were all set to go on a family bike ride, but as soon as the last helmet was put on, the rains came.  So we improvised with bike riding in the garage.

Cooper in action
 Reagan is getting too big for this bike!
 Reagan is ready to learn to ride without training wheels so she can get a bigger bike.  Here's Greg taking off her training wheels
 riding without training wheels (with a little help from dad)
 look at her go
 Cooper didn't want to be left out of the pictures
Reagan made it about halfway across the garage by herself before getting nervous/scared and having to put her feet down.  We are so proud of her!
