Gibson has been ready for the wheels to come off for months now, but we have had a number of reasons why he might want to wait just one more week (mainly the nasty weather). The sun came barreling through our bedroom window way too early this past Saturday, and Gibson just knew it was the day. We started the morning with the "breakfast of champions" as you can see from the photo.
The bakery had a farmhouse cookie on their menu so I was thinking granola...fruit...nuts...you know, things you might find on a farm. Perfect power breakfast for our new biker. What they actually meant was what you would find in the "farmhouse" which makes more sense. I can totally picture myself walking in on Grandma with a big plate of fresh sugar cookies with an inch of cream cheese frosting on top. Trust me, there were no complaints. (Sorry, I tend to get side tracked by food). Anyways, we got to the park, took off the training wheels and let him loose. Gib was in heaven, and we learned that if you leave the trainers on long enough there's no learning to ride without them, it's already a done deal....here's the documentation of the big moment.
Being the slacker parents that we are, we are also a little late with the swimming thing....do you think if he wears a life jacket until he's 10 he'll just magically have that figured out too? I guess we're just in denial that our babies are growing up way too fast.
So, one more exciting event this weekend was a quick smooch and a squeeze from Grandma Chris. Her, Steve, Bonnie, Randy, and Grandma & Grandpa Great Meyer were passing through on their way to board the big ship to Alaska. It was fun to have a quick hello, and the kids loved checking out their ginormous ship. Hope they have fun.

I agree they do grow up way too fast, how can we stop that?! Your kids are the cutest and I am so glad you keep blogging so I can be in the know some how!
Way to go Gibson! When we were up there last time I could tell Gibson was close to not needing those training wheels. They were mainly just in the way for him.
Ellie must have had a growth spurt, she's looking a lot taller. My mom said the same thing when she called while relaxing in Alaska! I love the picture of them with their farm cookies, Ellie cracks me up with the face she is pulling while sipping on her juice.
I miss them so much- we've gotta plan a trip back up there! Or you guys gotta get your butt back down here! ;)
Gibson looks like a champ on his bike I'm sure they'll be lots of biking on the Farm. I miss them lots and can hardly wait for a week.. I'm with Jamie get your butts back down here for good. Those kiddos need to be close to there Grandmas!!
