Owen Rides a Bike!

Last weekend my parents gave Owen a "mountain bike" --as Owen calls it.  He has only had a balance bike before which is the bikes with no pedals.  So when he first got on this bike that had pedals he had no idea what to do.  He kept backpedaling which would slam on the breaks...  So I figured I'd order training wheels and that the balance bike straight to a bike thing wasn't going to work for Owen.  The next day Joey took him out to the gravel road by our house and he was RIDING the bike!  It was crazy!  He LOVES riding his mountain bike just like daddy does!

Visit to Colusa

We followed up a week in La Quinta with a long weekend in Colusa to visit Mary's family which turned out to be a get together with all the cousins!  It was so fun!  We even got to see our own cousins, Susi and Jenny, and their families!  Cousins weekend!!  It was beautiful spring weather and we loved getting to be outside so much!

Dying Easter Eggs!

Lots of kids! 

Sprinklers already!?  March felt like May last weekend--it was so nice!

Levi loves being part of the big kids these days but he had to stop for a breather it was so exciting!
