Brooklyn outgrew her Barbie bike. (Her knees were practically hitting her chin when she pedaled.) We went back and forth on what bike to get her, then I found this. Daisy Diva! It has old fashioned fenders, a basket, and seat with springs. Plus it is baby blue! Sooo cute! I ordered it and the whole family was excited to watch Casey put it together. It took Brooklyn a couple tries to get used to a bigger bike (she got a little emotional and almost gave up.) but eventually got used to it. Olivia was excited too, because we added a basket to her bike also. (She just learned to ride without training wheels last month. Now everyday that it isn't raining she gets her bike out and rides around the back yard. She can often be found riding her bike, wearing her swim suit, suede winter boots up to her knees, and her helmet.)
We took the kids to "the jumps" on Monday. (an empty lot with a ditch about as deep as I am tall.) Casey kept telling Brooklyn that her bike couldn't do jumps because the handlebars are so big. But I thought that was what they were all like 20 years ago. So we went. Nathan can't go because he has training wheels. Then he runs in front of Olivia, so crashes and her handlebars come loose. Then before I can finish with her, Brooklyn crashes. So I'm helping her, and Olivia crashes again! (Casey couldn't help because he had Cody on his bike.) This was my first time at "the jumps". (Casey has taken them a few times, and they go on and on about what fun it is.) Let's just say it wasn't what I expected.

That is the cuttest bike ever, I want one for myself!!!
Your kids are so cute. Olivia looks just like you! What pretty girls.
That's good they are finally happy with there bikes. That sounds crazy at the jump park.
Your pictures are so great of all the kids and things you have been doing. After hearing you guys went to the "jumps" Doug and I thought it would be fun to go. I'm not too sure now that I know the rest of the story.
