Natalie's Bike Ride






A few days ago Taylor challenged Natalie to try riding her bike without the training wheels. She was reluctant at first but agreed to at least try. After a couple of falls and scraped knees she was ready to give up. Taylor (being the loving and patient dad that he is...haha) sat her down and gave her a pep-talk. He explained that Cooper was 5 years old when he learned and that if she could learn how to do it right away than she would beat him!! Natalie jumped up with a smile on her face and tried one last time. She is now riding all over our cul-de-sac all by herself. She is very happy that she mastered this skill before Cooper did.

You know what they say, "pictures take off about half the hairs on your head". Am I really that bald?

I love how Taylor gives a little pep talk and adds that little bit of competitiveness into it! Nothing like a little sibling pressure! :) Looks like she's got it down! And Taylor... it happens to the best of us!

You are funny Taylor. Every guy I know is loosing his hair. Wade was in denial for some time. Luckily, as Stephanie will tell you, being a good dad is a way more attractive quality.

Chari, you are absolutely right. I could care less what Taylor looks like as long as he loves me and continues to be a good dad to his kids!!
