September Fun

Since Spence learned to ride a bike in June we have been looking forward to getting the entire family biking. Several times this summer Spence and I have biked on the nearby greenway. We already had a bike trailer for Jeremy to haul the little ones and we decided to get a tagalong so that I could haul Spencer. Also I decided to get a "mom" bike. Our new bikes came in Thursday night so Friday night was our first chance to ride them. Of course it rained Friday. But we were too excited to be deterred. We loaded the family and went to the greenway. We were the only ones biking the baths. Spence loved riding with me. I didn't hear a single complaint about how wet he was. He cried when we left bc he wanted to continue.











They play really well together. Here Preston is painting for the first time.

























Here are Aidyn and Spence watching a movie in his room. It was completely dark in his room when I sneaked in and took this picture.

How awesome that Spencer can ride a bike!!! Paxton's bike still has training wheels- of course he hasn't gotten to ride it all summer because of the leg!
Anyway, I helped Paxton start reading (he already knew the letters and sounds) by teaching him sight words (it, is, the, etc.) and just adding a few at a time. Then he just started reading books because he knew so many sight words- we also worked on sounding out and using picture clues. Spencer is so smart, I am sure he will be reading in no time! Hope that helps!

Love the pictures of the kids together! The bike looks like a lot of fun, too.
