Just a few pics

Another gorgeous weekend sticking around home with lots of biking, trips to park, swimming, playing in the backyard.....are you getting the picture? Lots of outside time!

Video fun

MASTERED IT!

So I think it is official. Griffin can ride without training wheels. He and Gus have been going around the block and he is LOVING it! He asked all night at baseball how long it would be until we would be home to ride the bike and talked about it all night with his friends. He is now requesting we skip using the car and ride to work and the mall and school....what did we get him started with? It is so cute because he is SO proud and can talk of nothing else.

Riding bike

So Griffin has been less than interested in learning to ride a bike without training wheels this summer. None of the neighbor kids ride bikes which doesn't help. How could they be riding bikes when all they do is run backyard to backyard playing bad guys? Anyway, we have tried for a few minutes here and there and when Mr. Perfectionist Griffin can't do it right away he gives us. Well, for the past few days I have heard him whispering in the backseat to God that he wants to learn how to ride a bike when he is 5 and not 6. Tonight he was really interested in trying again so we agreed to put ourselves through it once again. Well, he did quite well I have to say. Not near doing it all on his own but tonight we saw the glimmer of hope and he was so proud of himself. Will keep working on it and hoping this is one more thing we can check off our to do list for the summer.

Pics

More outdoor pics you say? Guess we are getting plenty of fresh air.

Hot chics

Kerri and I had a great day this weekend. Started with early coffee then to the hair salon for cut and color. Then to the Street Fair for good eats and shopping. We did make it home for a couple hrs to see our families then off for drinks and musical at Fargo Theater. Thanks for a great day Kerri!

Neighbor kids

This is a typical day in our neighborhood. All boys age 6 and under running around in costumes. I must say when you look out the window and see 5-10 little boys dressed as power rangers/transformers/super heroes it does make you laugh.

Ewww...

So gross. Being treated for Lyme's Disease and have this lovely marking on my arm. When 3 people stopped me at work to comment I thought it was time to go in. My first weekend out at the lake and lucky me. Oh well, from what I hear from the doc, good thing I got it taken care of quickly.

SURPRISE!

Do you hear that? Nope? Me either. No more stinky washer and noisy dryer with the buzzer! This was my surprise today when coming home from work. Mr. Consumer Reports was busy shopping and researching and buying this weekend while I was in Bis for the weekend. Quite the surprise as we didn't talk about this large purchase but I think this might just be better than diamonds.

Griffin+Golf+Gus=FUN

Gus left work early after being on the clock for 16 hrs yesterday and picked Griffin up for a fun afternoon. He took him to Oxbow to hit a bucket of balls and I hear it went very well. He golfed on a "real" course after that and had tons of fun. Guess it is just a 3 hole course but it was his first experience. We may have a left handed Tiger on our hands!

Heading to the lake tomorrow to spend a quiet weekend out there with Ed and Mary. Will do the usual 4th events---Pelican Lake Boat Parade, pontoon rides, fishing, going on adventures through the woods looking for treasures, and fireworks. Pictures to follow hopefully.
