Two wheelin’

Look who decided it was finally time to learn to ride his bike!! Woohoo! Go Spencer!

We bought him a good bike a few months ago but he’s never been interested in learning to ride. Well, he changed his mind and after a few runs with Robert in the driveway…

He was riding on his own the next day in the parking lot!

He’s so proud of himself, as he should be. He was riding around me in circles and said, “I just feel so free!” Love it! It’s a whole new world in the neighborhood for this kid now!!

Go Spencey Go!

Online school starts today! Wish us luck!!

Horse Pens 40

Last Saturday when Robert could go with us, we took a drive out to Steele, AL to check out Horse Pens 40. It was an interesting place but it had some of the coolest climbing rocks I’ve ever seen. There were a few groups of people out there doing real rock climbing. My kids had plenty of fun doing their own version of rock climbing!

This kid couldn’t get enough and it definitely made me remember how much he loved the rocks in Central Park!

Zoo Snooze

The boys had quite the adventure last Friday night and slept at the zoo! They got to see some animals…

ride the carousel (oh boy!)…

and go on a scavenger hunt that involved looking for sticks to sharpen in the lion’s den…kidding. That was Robert’s joke! Although I think that was what Maxwell was expecting! He didn’t like it that so many of the animals were inside and sleeping. Can’t blame those animals though…it was cold that night! My boys pitched a tent and bundled up…

and they were still frozen when they got home the next morning. Brrr! Despite the cold, they had a great time. Snoozing at the zoo!

No kids

What?! No kid pics today? I know, I know. Don’t worry, they’ll be back next week! Today it’s just pics of me and Robert celebrating the 40th birthday of one of my BFFs! Lots of grownup fun!
