Let's go Ride a Bike!!!

 Derrick learned to ride a bike today!  Hooray!  He has been asking to learn for a few weeks now, but every time Dustin went to take off the training wheels he panicked and said "No".  Today he finally did it!  He was so excited to "ride with the big kids"!  Go Derrick!

 Using the breaks! : )  This is a big deal and one of the first things Dustin likes to teach the kids and is constantly reminding them of for a few reasons.  1:  They have ruined tons of shoes stopping themselves with their toes...sigh!  2:  Afer Alex's "near death experience" (as my mom likes to call it) zooming down the hill to the duck pond and crashing in the rocks, knowledge of breaking with the pedals is vital!  LOL!

 Our cute little Derrick and his short little legs!  LOL!

 The same day Derrick learned to ride a "Two-Leeler" (that's how Derrick says it), Zeke learned to use the pedals!  This makes me happy.  It's so frustrating watching them try and scoot those big bikes along with their feet, when the pedals are so much easier.  Yea for Zeke!

Dustin learned to ride the scooter...Ha Ha.  He didn't know I took this picture, and he totally biffed it at the end of the sidewalk when the wheel hit one of the cracks.  I was dying!
