Well, I am going to try and play catch up on this post. Since last Wednesday we have had a lot going on. On Wednesday morning we got the results back from Hannah's allergy testing and it came back negative. She's a perfectly healthy girl! So, since that exciting news, I got together with 2 other mommy's (from the tumbling class) and we took all the kids to the park! I think that there were 6 kids total, all the same ages as Hannah and Jake. There is even a little boy Jake's age. It was perfect. I think we spent 2 hours just playing at the park. We had been waiting for a couple of weeks on taking Hannah outside, just for the fact that we didn't know if something outside was making her sick. She and Jake were so excited to get some fresh air.
Later that day my in-laws came into town for Thanksgiving. We enjoyed some yummy lasagna and chessy bread from Papa Murphy's. If you haven't tried them yet, they are outstanding and pretty cheap! I started a couple of things for Thanksgiving and then we called it an early night, since I was running the next day. I didn't end up running in the Turkey Trot in downtown but, did an awesome 8.5 miles here in Mckinney. Dad had spent some time in the ER earlier that morning and he didn't think he could make it down there with 30,000 other runners! For someone who has a pinched nerve, he did fabulous!!! Way to go Dad!
Friday morning came around and Randi and I got up at 5 a.m and hit the stores!! I can't believe that I got out that early to shop! We actually had a great time and didn't really run into too much mayhem! Then we got to Toys 'R' Us...that place was crazy! We had to wait in the check out line for 1 hour! But, I have to say they were very organized! I got home at about 10 a.m. and enjoyed some time with Brent's family before they left! I think we had a pretty good Thanksgiving! No fires (remember Randi??), nothing was burned and every thing was done about the same time! Very relaxing, good company, and a very easy clean up. Thanks to Brent for the great idea of buying paper plates and plastic silver wear! That was the best clean up by far! Brent ended up having to fly on Friday and got back late last night. We didn't end up doing too much while he was gone. Just chillin'!
Today has been a fun day. We took the kids outside to ride their bikes. And much to our surprise, Hannah has picked up riding her bike really fast. We have been working with her off and on for a while and she just couldn't get the pedaling part down! I think that it helped a little that Jake got a tricycle for his birthday and she has been practicing indoors on that. We got a lot of pictures and even a video to share!
working hard to get up the driveway
She's so proud of herself
Aren't they super cute?
Almost a collision...thankfully Hannah got out of the way!
We hope you enjoy the video!

Thanks for the comment sister! We love getting them. I'm glad that you're enjoying the blog. Sometimes I don't know if anyone reads it anymore.
Our little Hannah and Jake are growing up way too fast! Hopefully, we can keep the riding going through the family!

Cute video! It sounded pretty windy! That's great Hannah and Jake are riding bikes :) They will be able to peddle along with you before you know it! Sounds like a fun Thanksgiving. We wish we could have been there with you. Maybe next year ?!?
We finally all watched the video! Oh my goodness, they were so sweet! Had the wind blown any harder, it could have been a remake of The Wizard of Oz...hahaha!! Hannah and Jake, we are so proud of you on your bikes. You are both so BIG! I can't even get Uncle Ricky on a tandem bike! (I wonder why?)heehee!! Keep up the good work kiddos!! Love fyou all!!
