HE DID IT!!!!

Here is my amazing wonderful little boy Parker. He just doesn't seem to stop amazing us. The other day we had a walk to school day, Parker decided that he wanted to ride his bike with training wheels. As I watched him ride the bike he hardly had the training wheels touch the ground and I dont think he even realized that he was doing that. Well on Thursday we decided to take them off. Joe was all ready with Parker on the street, Joe was holding the seat while Parker was on the bike, and was prepared to run along holding him as he started peddaling, but Parker had different plans. Parker didn't need daddy at all!! He just needed that one hold at the begining and he was off on his own for the rest of the day. There was one time that he stopped and didn't know how to start on his own, so Joe showed him one time and he got it. I was just in amazement at what a fast learner he was and did I mention that he is only "3".

He is so proud!
Here he is, doing it all by himself. Way to go Parker!!!
He crashed twice and got back up and started again. He loves riding his bike. He was so sad the next day because it rained all day long and he couldn't go outside to ride his bike.

Good news...

We just found out that Spencer has won first place in photography at the schools reflections program and he is going to county, if he wins county he will move on to state, we are just happy that he got first place. During the summer he has had fun taking my camera and just taking snapshots of wherever we go.
This picture of the railroads is the one that he entered in the reflections program. When I saw this picture I was amazed at what a good little photographer he is. Amazing!! Way to go Spencer, we are so proud of you!!
This is the winning picture.


He didn't enter this picture in the reflections, but this is another one of his snapshots that he took while we were driving. I love this picture.

I will definately be framing these and putting them on our walls. We our so proud!
