So tonight for a little fun we rode our bikes to Gene's Grandma Na's. This is about 1.3 miles from our house. Not that far really unless you are a 3 year old just learning how to ride a bike. With training wheels. Jesse did so good. A little slow and scary at some points, ie riding in the road, cutting in front of a car. You know just the usual stuff for Jesse.
I did pull the empty stroller in case he couldn't make it, who was I kidding this is Jesse we are talking about. No is not an option with this kid.
Us in front of Grandma Na's. James was pouting so he is not in the picture.
Notice the only one with a helmet on?????
Jesse did this himself. He wanted it on, at one point he took it of and then went about 20 feet and we had to stop again so he could put it back on.
Such a good kid. Such a bad mom for not making my other 2 kids wear theirs.
(I don't think Kelty even has a helmet.)
Ok now that my hand hurts cause I just slapped it.
James just loving life.
Kelty yelling at me cause I was using her camera and she didn't want me to drop it.
Who does she think I am????
(I put spazzy Camille away for today, I think.)
Gene and Jesse, aren't they cute. Sorry the pictures are blurry but I was trying to ride and take pictures at the same time. I know, I know I have you all impressed now huh!
Jesse, Gene, Kelty and way up their is James. So fun!
I am sad and happy at the same time.
The other day at 7-peaks I got to hold my friend Steph's new baby (like 2 weeks old). I was thinking oh I want one of these.
Then I got to go on this awesome family bike ride with everyone on their own bikes. Who would have thought.
Just different seasons of life I know. I am glad to have these little moments when I can look back and realize that while I will never have another baby, I am enjoying these moments with my kids.
I am loving this new season for me. My kids are getting so old. This is good and bad.
I am liking the independent stage but I guess it is just the feel of being needed. Who would have thought, my kids are independent.

I loved having the newborns, the new smell new everything.
But as I write this I am realizing my kids are just in a new phase. Not newborn but new adventures await us. Who knows what they will be, good I hope. Bad we will deal with. In between ahhhhh sigh we would love but we will take whatever is thrown at us right??????

It looks like you had a lot of fun!! I just love bike riding in the summer. Jesse is getting so big riding on his own. Obviously, he is the only safety conscious person in the family. JK What happened to firefighter safety? :)
I love how you went from fun bike ride, to oh my I'm getting old. When you experience little bits of freedom, and your not having another baby it has to be strange. I've been having lots of those moments too. Not freedom, but the thought that it will be possible one day soon. But babies are so wonderful so it's sad. i'm not making sence but I hear you!
