bikerchick

Little loves riding bikes. A couple days ago she got her very own bike [appropriated from among several abandoned candidates in our courtyard] and we put training wheels on it. We expected her to take a while getting used to the new big bike, but she had no trouble at all.



In fact, today we went on a run with Little on her bike. We went a bit over three miles, including some nice little hills. And she rode the whole way! She impresses us a bunch. When she was going up the hills she would groan and say over and over again "it's hard, it's hard, it's hard" but she'd always make it. It's especially cute because she's a wee bit... uh, clumsy on her own two feet but she's super great on bikes. We're super proud to have a little bikerchick. Er, cyclistgirl. Whatever.

Littler's Style

Mommy and Daddy couldn't help being constantly cuted out by Littler today. We seem to have finally found her "style".

Some random recent pictures

Our vast, wonderful back yard.
Tickle me!!







We went on a little camping thingy with our friends to Mt. Madonna and Uvas Canyon county parks over the weekend.
Their son's name is Canyon, as you can see.
Little and Canyon spent a lot of time jumping.

Belated Valentine's Post

Every year my sister-in-law does a blog post on Valentine's Day where she asks her kids questions about love, marriage, etc. I did it with Little last year but decided not to do it this year, I know not why... I was just reading our blog from last year a little bit and came across that post and decided to do it now (just to have the same questions to compare to). Last year her answers were a little skewed because her aunt's blog was up with pictures of her cousins. This year everything is skewed because I was using Microsoft Word and she was watching all the words and letters...

And now for your feature presentation:
