End of Year Celebration

Bowen finished his year of Preschool with a bang. We were not sure how he would do because he cried at the practice. They were all adorable. His teachers this year were great.

Saturday Play

The mower has been in the driveway for almost 3 weeks while we are trying to get it fixed. Ansley has been quite interested in the process. I have to tell her to get out from under it. She is always trying to take off the bolts. Ansley has actually done more work than Brad.

The kids were helping Greg and Melinda with their sidewalk on Saturday. Mainly spreading gravel, playing with the dogs, finding worms, and dragging dirt in Melinda's house. Bowen has decided he wants to have a sleepover at " Grag and Elinda's" I am just not sure how they feel about that.
Madison and Bowen had a blast playing at Warriors Path. We were able to see Baby Drew and Donna and I visited for a few hours. Ansley took a great nap. YEAH!!

Rolling Down The Hill

We are spending a lot of time outside. The kids are great at entertaining themselves while I mow or work in the garden. They spent about 2 hours planing in the neighbors ditch on Friday. I am very thankful for big yards and Shout stain remover. We are going to have a great summer.

Spring Fun

We went down to the River on Thursday to have dinner with Judy and Lo. Jenn was able to come and join us. There was dinner and fishing. Both Brad and Jenn lost their cell phones in the river. Jenn was able to salvage hers... Brad is using his old phone for now.

Ansley decided to go naked... again. Bowen and Brad have been getting some fishing in this spring. They try to go down to the river in the evenings. Brad's new job is really helping with evening playtime... especially with the long days. They have caught a few fish but mainly just play in the mud,

Biking... Bo is balancing but still not interested in pedalling. Jonny is really getting good at riding this year. They like to race. Ansley just runs behind them.

CRAWL (Cyclists Riding And Wanting Libation) April 2008

The Retro bikes we rescued from the in-laws garage
40 year old 3 speeds from JC Penny

I added the custom basket.

I don't know how many miles we logged on this ride but we had 4 stops.

Accustic Coffee House, Halos, PR's and Bucks Pizza.

Brad also had the traditional ride up the Parking garage.

I was not up for that at midnight on a 50 pound, 3 speed bike.

A Muddy Beginning

Well it looks like the beginning of Biking season... If you can see through the mud and rain. The conditions didn't stop Brad from being the only XC rider to show up at ETSU on Saturday. He followed it up with a great ride at Tsali on Sunday. Lots of fun for Brad... Lots of Laundry for Sara.

Ansley is TWO!!

Ansley celebrated her 2nd birthday this week.

Lots of new toys and movies.

A new dvd player for our summer traveling.

A Strawberry Shortcake sleeping bag for camping.

Mommy made Ansley's cake to match her new bedroom.

It was a lot of fun.

Thanks to everyone.
