Mountain biking

Years ago before a wife, kids, and non-stop work I used to love mountain biking (this is Chad if you haven't figured that our yet).  I was on the trails 3 or 4 times per week.  It couldn't please me more to see that one of my own has taken a liking to the sport too.  Afton has had no training wheels for only a week or so and is already a biking champ.  And like dad, fun first, safety second.

Sniff Sniff. My first born has left for kindergarten.

Trying to give little sister a hug.  We think little sister is a little upset about this school thing!!!

Every time I look at this picture I get choked up.  My baby is leaving on the BUS!!!!

A day of Firsts

Not only did Avery actually lose her first tooth (okay, I know she knocked out a tooth already, but this is her first tooth that fell out naturally) but her and Afton both rode there bikes WITHOUT training wheels.  It first started with Afton.  I was sitting in the driveway with her and I said "I will give you 5 bucks if  you ride your bike without training wheels"  She replied while walking into the garage "Dad, take off my training wheels".  Yes, we can all agree that she is easily motivated.  ha ha!!! 

I have been trying to post the video of her maiden voyage on the pavement.  (we took a few test runs on the grass)  But for some reason the video will not post!!! 
I will keep trying!
