spring is here!

You know you have those weekends where nothing seems to go right...and then you have those where the kids behave, everyone has fun, and you can call it a success? We had one of those.  We took Colby's binkys away Friday night.  He is DONE with them!  He still asks for them in the car and at bedtime, but he's okay with us just telling him they are gone.  Then he says, "I'm a big boy.  Babies have binkys."  I had been talking to him for a long time about giving them up and he was adamant that he needed them for his mouth.  He was so tired Friday night, though, that he didn't even put up a fight.  He just went to sleep.

Here is Colby playing during Becky's soccer game.  So excited to get to be outside to play this weekend.

Becky did a great job at her soccer game.  She really ran after the ball and got some kicks in.  I think it helps when the sun is shining.  Everyone seems to be more excited about playing then!

Becky giving "coach" a high-five at the end of the game.

Then the biggest news....Al taught Becky how to ride her bike without training wheels.  Yeah!  Such a big step for her, as we struggled last year and didn't have any luck.  About two hours on Saturday, and she was good. They went back to practice again today too.  She is on her little bike where her knees almost hit the handlebars, but she has good control of it and even mastered turning corners today.  Won't be long and we'll be able to ride the trails!

After nap, Colby and I went to the park to play again for a little bit.  The slides are his favorite.  

I just love his hair!  Is that a crazy boy having fun or what?

We are off tonight to listen to Becky play bells at church, and then our weekend will come to an end.  Everyone just seems to be a little happier when the sun is shining and we can be outside. So glad spring is here!
