Cindy's 36th Birthday Party

The boys couldn't bear the thought of Mommy's birthday passing without a pinata. So, while Mommy was out with her friends today, Geoff took the boys to get a pinata and silly string
(the other important part of a birthday party). After picking Gabe up at school this afternoon, we strung up the pinata and celebrated. After that, we went to Islands for Mommy's favorite fish tacos. Yum!

New Bikes

So, bikes are our big thing right now. Jack got a new bike last weekend after he outgrew his old one. It's super shiny and he just adores it. I wish you could have heard him exlaim "it's RED!" when we pulled it out of the box. He is completely thrilled over it. Gabe inherited Jack's old bike so we refurbished it for him with a kick-stand, new tires and a water bottle. Bless Gabe's heart - as far as he's concerned, he has a special new bike, too. The truck is Tyler's version of a bike - it has been for a long time. He pushes it all around town - and believe me, anyone who's ever gone on a "walk" with us knows, that is NO JOKE!

The Bike Train
This creation has been one of the kids' latest favorite activities. Jack & Gabe made it up - they tie the trike to the back of Gabe's bike and the bike-rider pulls the trike while Tyler stands on the back and hangs on. The bottom shot is a video so just hit play - turn on your sound so you can hear Tyler saying "Jack-Jack".
