Hello Friends! It's Friday!
I saw something on Facebook that said there are just 18 Fridays left until Christmas. WHOA! This year and summer are flying by!
I have "A Little Bit of Everything" for you today...(you like what I did there?)
Bike Riding:
This kid cracks me up. Apparently, he was inside without a shirt and when he heard we were going out to ride bikes he skipped running up to his room for a shirt for just putting on his winter coat because you know THE STAIRS! We live in Texas. Odds are he never would have survived a bike ride in that coat. #thatkid
Tomorrow is our anniversary and NOTHING says, "Happy Anniversary" like two bikes and a kiddie bike trailer, right? We've been seeing the Shulls go on family bike rides (they're stroll by our house every once in a while) and they make them look SO fun! We decided since our big kids are finally big enough to ride solo-it was time.
My thoughts on bike riding...
*It is REALLY fun to go on a bike ride as a family.
*We went overboard the first weekend and my tush was in SO MUCH PAIN.
*Nixon thinks the legit bike brakes are overrated. At a four-way stop (Actually it's an 8-way stop but I've never heard anyone say that before), Nixon and I held up SIX CARS while he attempted to stop himself. I must add he was never in danger, but I'm positive my face was extremely red and NOT from the heat. hahaha!
*It's a great way to get out and be active with the entire family, but if you have a favorite padded bike seat cushion-PLEASE let me know. :)
Bowen:
This kid is becoming so independent. He can pretty much hang with the big kids the majority of the time, but when I see things like this I'm reminded how little he still is. :)
A Visitor:
My cousin, Kody, had to work in Dallas this week so he came and stayed with us. My kiddos have loved having him here.
Nixon thinks he's the coolest.
Yesterday, we headed to the Dallas World Aquarium.
It was the perfect little adventure for a hot Texas day.
Bowen was pumped about seeing a "Dory" fish. #andaboutwearingflipflops
We saw the fish, birds, and reptiles, and then we headed straight to Hopdoddy's for a burger.
Owning It:
If you missed it, Natasha from Hello Happiness was here yesterday sharing her crazy and it was GOOD!
I hope you ladies have a fabulous weekend. We have a birthday party, fun with friends, and an anniversary dinner on the calendar. See you back here, Monday! XOXO
