New Bike

 Reagan has been wanting a new bike for awhile now.  He out grew his old bike a long time ago and looked quite silly riding it.  He loved riding bikes so he continued to ride it anyways. 

Benson is happy he got Reagan's old bike. He can't push the pedals yet but that doesn't stop Benson from riding.  He walk the bike slowly wherever Reagan goes.

Getting big

Norah is using Jonah's Mickey Mouse airplane to walk with...but she feels like a big girl when she gets to ride on it...her face shows her pride.


At grandpa and grandma Seyfried's house...grandma taught her some new skills...


Norah is a big girl and can crawl through a tunnel...Jonah has clearly learned to adapt to life with a splint...

Claire First Day of School

Claire recently (a month ago) had her first day of school.  But before she could go to school she had to train, work hard, and pass the "Ready for School Test."

She had to practice raising her had to ask a question.

Walk on the slanted part of the curb (what is one of my earliest memory).

Run without stepping on a crack and breaking her mothers back.

And summersulting across the front lawn. 

She passed the test.

In the morning her mom got here hair ready. 

And then her and Lauren were off to school.  I love how Lauren was insistent on wearing her backpack.  The first one that she found in the closet that morning.

This is her right before she went into school and left her early childhood behind. :(

And her momma knew it...

 Claire was happy to get home and find a surprise.

Pretty nice, huh? 

Ouch

This is Jonah's leg. You have to blow it up real big to see it.

Riding the Train

Saturday Ben & I rode the Thunder Mountain Railroad from Horseshoe Bend to Banks and back again. The train had an engine at both ends so you returned the same way back as you came.



You had your choice of sitting outside in the open cars which we did. (The old hairy dude is Ben's supervisor at work)

Or you could ride in the cool air conditioned dining room. If you paid even more you got a little hobo lunch tied up in a red bandana. We went to subway afterwards.

This is the engine and me thinking how jealous Jonah and Reagan would be.

It was a lot of fun.

Playing with Fire

Every good grandparent knows that you should teach your grandchildren to play with fire. We did this last week!!! We had a celebration of playing off our house and burned some of the old payment sheets.

Everyone agreed that fire is fun.

Now we get to close our eyes and think of something fun to spend all of our money on.

Max was to little to play with fire so he had to play with squash.
