Skills

Big news here---Shelly has finally mastered the riding of her bike solo! Yes, she's a bit older than others with this skill, but guess what??? I don't care. I'm just so glad she has the hang out of it now. So proud!!! Here she is showing off her bike riding ability:

And in Lily's sporting world, here she is playing their most recent volleyball game. She has really perfected that serve and is doing so well. Proud of this one, too!!!

7th Birthday

Shelly had such a fun 7th birthday. We celebrated after a breakfast of cinnamon rolls and bacon (Shelly's request). Her sister assisted with the gifts and card reading.

Shelly was super excited about her new bike. It even brought her to tears!

For dinner we headed to Kick Back Jacks (another request by Shelly). And at about 10:30 she asked for a piece of her birthday cake. A good day to turn seven!

"I Want to Ride My Bicycle"

This has been the summer for bike rides. Missing from the photos is me on my great pink beach cruiser. And most of the action photos were taken while riding my bike...a little tricky, but worth it to document our bike riding days.

The Bicyclist

Here are a couple of videos of Lily mastering the new pink big girl bike. I am so pleased with her skills and so impressed with John's teaching ability. Great job to both of you. It's been a happy spot in our day.
