photo 106...

Today's weather was absolutely perfect...sunny....not too hot....not too cold....not too windy....just perfect! After Bobby finished taking care of the yard and we had supper, we took a walk/bike ride. Ashton has been bitten by the "determination bug". This girl has been riding her bike with no training wheels for almost a year, but still has trouble starting off on her own.

Well....today she was determined to get it. She tried a million times and got herself going on some of those tries. After we got back from the walk/bike ride she spent another 15 minutes or so going up and down the sidewalk in front of our house just trying to get going all by herself. I love her determination. We decided this will be what we do in the evenings so she can get some practice.

And Landry...oh boy! She rode in her push car while leaning over the side and grabbing the wheels as it was moving! She would do it on one side, then switch over to the other side. I only wish I had my camera! She kind of looked like a dog with it's head sticking out the car window as it is driving the road! Thank goodness she was buckled....they invented buckles for kids like her!

Go Ashton!! I love that she has a goal and she's practicing and working hard to achieve it! Come by one night and we'll have to go on some evening walks with the kiddos.
