first bike ride

So this last month we borrowed Michael's bike (thanks for the long loan mike) and Mitch and I went on a bike ride.

Guys that was like a BIG DEAL! For real. Never in the time that I have known Mitch has he ridden a bike. That's like a lot of years, I would count but that's math and I gave that up when I married a math teacher.-oh, that was a good joke, I am laughing really hard right now... Moving on...

 He was super into mt biking growing up and had a seriously nice bike, they would go on crazy trips to mt bike. Like drive 20 hours from Washington to southern Utah...

Anyhow, I think all of the people close to us know by know about the bike accident Mitch had on his mission. It was no bueno.

But anyways, back on a bike. He felt fine he said. I am SO excited! I am excited for several reasons but one of them is that he looks dang good on a bike, I married a stud.

 And as soon as we fix the hole we put in the tire we might go biking again. bawhahaha!!!

monkey bars

Apparently it happened at school. he learned how to do the monkey bars without help. I found out when he did them at the park. When I got all excited about it, he said something about the school playground, and falling, and now he can go all the way across....

I didn't hear many details after "falling" but I guess he is alright, obviously. 

Way to go Eli boy!

(how/when did he get so big?)

Soccer

On the 1st the boys started their soccer program. we drive to eagle for it. Its a great program that teaches so well , its non competitive and both boys could be in the same class!
Next year Eli, should he choose too, can be in a competitive league but we wanted to make sure the kids had a solid grasp of the foundation skills and the rules of the game before we did that.
We are Not weird about competition or anything like that, we are just doing this program specifically to LEARN that's all.

We all really enjoyed the  first day and are looking forward to the rest of the program, it is wonderfully put together, Mitch was impressed with the methods and tools they used to teach the kids while still keeping it extremely fun the whole time. Overall we spent more money for the program we choose but are pleased with the decision!

It is so fun we got soccer stuff for Easter too so we can practice at home also.

Snow white

I love the look and color of snow, its a brighter more beautiful white then other white, like paper.
I am so happy that we have been getting some real snow!
Today the boys finally had the chance to test out their snow stuff. I was happy to go outside with them, because playing outside is definitely a mom thing I love doing with them!
I really love playing outside with my kids snow is so magical and fun. Their was not yet enough snow for snowman but, hopefully later we will still have some!
