Big Girl Bike

Check me out! Two posts in TWO days. That has to be some kinda record for me :) The sad truth is Ben woke up for the day at 4:45 (yes, that number is correct) and Brooklyn at 6 (due to her brother's loudness) so they have both now been napping for 2 hours already. **I'm ready for some sleep normalcy, but I'm not holding my breath because apparently having children eliminates that for...oh...forever :) 

Look who got a big girl bike! She loves it. The only issue is finding time to ride it without Benny around. I learned quickly that having her learning on this with him near the street equals imminent danger.

Gram bought her this and brought it over last week and she flipped. You can't tell from the picture, but it has all the disney princesses on it and a cute little castle basket on the top, and can't forget to mention the kickin streamers. Did I mention she loves this bike?

She took a few minor spills while trying to get the brakes figured out, but she got right back on! I am just in awe of what a little GIRL she is turning into by the day.

Today we had her dental appointment that's been on the calendar for months. She had to get some fillings and "band aids" as the sweet dentist called them, which is just a laminate to go over some of her crevices. Poor girl, due to the super high fevers she was always prone to as a baby her enamel didn't form properly...leading to this lovely procedure. She did fantastic though. I mean, over the top amazing. She only flipped once, and I think that was because she hated the feeling of the water being squirted directly on her tooth. She got to pick three prizes and today we are going for an afternoon date to target to get a new dress (her choice). Then off to the gym for my final training run. The Hippie Chick 1/2 is in t-3 days!!! The jitters have already set in.

Oh and here are a few cute pics I snapped of Brooklyn & her buddy Braeden, the other day while they were playing in the back yard. They were being extra cute.

we didn't pose this, they both just instinctually threw their feet up on the ball and I got the pic! that never happens

and had to get one of the second children. benny & stella (one of his MANY lady friends (wink wink))
