McCabe's 5th Birthday

Leighton on 2 Wheels

Our old house had a steep, narrow and crumbly driveway. To make matters worse we lived on a steep hill.  Needless to say, Leighton rarely got to practice riding his bike unless we smashed all the kids and all the bikes in to the van  and went to the park.  So Leighton was unable to learn to ride on two wheels.  With a couple days of being in our new house with a wide and flat driveway, he asked if we could take the training wheels off.  HE WAS MORE THAN READY.  It took him about 5 or 6 tries to get the hang of it and he was off to the races, riding fast in circles, stopping quickly, steering, etc.

Watching your kids succeed is a wonderful thing to experience!  I am a very proud momma! 

And these two bugs are equally as special to watch.  From golfing while wearing helmets to climbing on roofs, McCabe and Brooks make me a proud mom too! Doesn't this first picture of McCabe remind you of snoopy?
