Who Knew Learning to Ride a Bike Was SO HARD....not us!!

Yesterday, the weather was sooo nice -- so we decided to play outside with the boys after Carson got out of school. We thought it would be a good day to work with Carson on learning to ride his bike. I worked with him a little, but I wasn't getting very far....so Davy took over. They practiced for a while...and Carson got better, but he is just SO afraid of falling down and hurting himself...that he wouldn't focus on balancing the bike. We will continue to work on this as the weather allows.

As most of you know...the boys had asked Santa for a "REAL" Dirt Bike like their daddy's, but Santa told them that they had to learn to ride their bikes without training wheels first. So, they are really working hard at learning how to do this...any suggestions?

Don't you just love Barrett's bike helmet? It is Davy's old Dirt Bike helmet..it is almost as big as he is! He looked like a bobble head out riding his bike!!

Barrett's Playdate with Drew..

Thursday after pre-school, Barrett's best friend, Drew, came over to play. They were GREAT!!! I really didn't see them that much...other than when they would run from the play room upstairs to the play room in the basement. Drew and Barrett play so well together at school, and they did great the whole afternoon. They played dress-up, Star Wars, and enjoyed playing the Wii and XBOX. Here are some pictures from various outfits they dressed up in....

Barrett and Drew...Best Buds...



They had a ball dressing up as Dirt Bike Riders, Football Players, and Baseball Players. I would have them stop for a picture on they way going up or down stairs...



This picture was my favorite...I would walk up stairs to check on them, and they were just playing so well together. In this picture...they were playing football on the Playstation. It was SO FUNNY...They were really playing the game!!!

I would like for you to meet the next American Idol Winner.....Barrett Moore

Well, as you know, I come from a large family of singers...and it looks like my two boys are following in those footsteps! Saturday, we were on our way to Costco...and Barrett (out of NO WHERE) starts singing Here I am to Worship....and bless his heart...he kept singing the same thing over, and over, and over!! I finally got my camera out and recorded what I could (you can also hear Carson a little). Barrett and Carson LOVE to sing...I can't say that is is always in tune, or the right words...but it is music to my ears (well, most of the time).

Here is a short video...

Our blinds are getting hung TODAY!!!! YAY!!!!

Well, by this time tomorrow...I will be able to open my blinds on my windows!! Who would have thought I would get excited about something like that....but we have been living here with NO blinds for a MONTH!!! Yes, you read it right...a month!! Lowe's doesn't get in a real big hurry. They arrived last Monday, but the guy couldn't come put them up until today!! And I love how they say, "We will be there between 9:30-10:30."...whatever - it will prob. be noon! I am o.k. with that...as long as I get blinds up!! I will also take some pictures to post now...I just couldn't post pictures of our new house with sheets all over the windows!! This picture is in our breakfast room...suppose to be a hearth room, but we don't have furniture for a hearth room -- so we put our table there!!!

Carson's Day at Starbucks...

Carson's School was on a 2 hour delay on Thursday...and of course Barrett's wasn't, so I spent a majority of my morning being a taxi!! But, Carson and I enjoyed a great morning together!!! Carson (like his mother) LOVES Starbucks (I know...he shouldn't be drinking that stuff), so we enjoyed a White Choc. Mocha!! He thinks he is sooo big because he drinks coffee...not all the time...just special times!!! I love this picture...he really thought he was pretty big!!

The Boys and The Snow

Today, we (the boys and I) enjoyed playing in the snow for about an hour or so!!! I picked up Carson from school, and we came home -- bundled up -- and headed outside!!! This was Carson's first time to play in the snow....and he LOVED IT!! We all did!! When we came in, I had them jump in the hot shower to warm up...their little hands and bottoms were sooo red and cold!! I will have to invest in nicer gloves and outer clothing for them to play in the snow!! Here are some pictures from our fun afternoon in the snow!!
