Little Biker

Brandon learned to ride a two wheeler yesterday and is quite proud of himself, and we are of him too! He is only three! He is really excited about being able to ride with all the big boys in the neighborhood now. Here are a couple of little videos, I had to run next to him because I was afraid he would crash and not want to ride again. This is not something we have been "working on" at all. He wouldn't ever really ride his bike with the training wheels on it so yesterday he told me to take them off. I was thinking, this will be short lived. I told him that if he was going to do this that he would have to peddle really fast for it to work. He is a good listener when he wants to be cause he just took off. I was a little surprised. Only a little just cause I knew he had good balance and athleticism but he's so little and young I guess. The only reason I have time to be writing this right now is because he was so awnrey(no idea how to spell that) that I had to put him to bed at 3:30 or I din't know if either of us would make it through the rest of the day...and Ethan is sleeping.

T-Ball and Tiny Teeth

So we are just keeping up here in Redmond. I am about done with the cold and rainy/snowy weather. Spring is not warm here and winter lasts forever!!! Or is it just worse everywhere this year? Luckily our garage serves as a great play room. The kids can ride bikes all day out there which is nice. They come in to eat and that is about it! I guess to go to the bathroom too.

Ethan is growing up really fast, he has all four top teeth now and looks so funny when he smiles cause they aren't all the way in yet. Plus, he likes to pull his jaw to the right constantly and makes it look like he has a crossbite. He is such a funny little man. He thinks that Tyler and Brandon are really funny, they can entertain him better than anyone. He is at that stage where he will crawl up to my legs and hold on for dear life and I can't really go anyehere? It's mostly when I am in the kitchen trying to make others happy and not him! It's kind of hard but I am trying to enjoy him no matter how annoying he can get. He really isn't very annoying but he does scream when he is mad which my other boys did not do at least until they were 2.

Tyler has started T-Ball and really likes it so that is cute. Brandon is not on the team but believes that he is and calls his regular shoes his T-ball shoes. That is just fine with me, he is so funny. Brian is the coach but has tons of help from about 4 other dads so it isn't too stressful. Not that T-ball would be I guess. The boys also are in to helping Brian cut wood for my vinyl signs out in the garage. Tyler is a little more I think.

We went to Cannon Beach over Spring Break so here are some pictures from that. It was pretty cold and sometimes rainy but we still got out in between a lot of swimming and water basketball. Luckily Carla and Cathryn and John (Morgan, her boyfriend) came so that made it really easy with the kids. Carla basically took Ethan so that I could play basketball with Brian and Cathryn and John and Cathryn and I won EVERYTIME. We played very fairly as well, abided by most rules...only a FEW bruises, it was really fun. Tyler can swim and Brandon swims by himself with floaties so it was great! They just swam around watching.
