Riding The New Bikes













Here are the kids riding their new bikes. Cloie's really isn't new, she got it at the end of last summer but hasn't had a chance to ride it until just recently with the spring like weather. And Carter is riding his new tricycle that he got from Grandma and Grandpa Arnold for his birthday. We went out to ride because the weather was so nice and we have been couped up inside for so long. I guess our neighbor had the same idea because we found Cloie's "boyfriend" Jake out on his bike too. Yes I said boyfriend. Anytime she knows she is going to see him she gets out her make-up box and puts on her Hanna Montana perfume and makes herself all beautiful for him. One time she told me she wanted Jake to dance with her like the prince does with the princess. I told her she would have to ask him and that's exactly what she did. Cloie: "Jake, I want you to dance with me!" Jake: (having just woken up from a nap) "Not right now, I'm too tired." How cute is that! When we got home she said she was sooo embarrassed. I asked her why and she said, because Jake is my boyfriend.
Anyway, I guess I got a little side tracked from the bikes. Cloie had to practice riding her bike inside the house because she was too afraid to ride it. Finally she got the confidence (from her daddy) and she hasn't wanted to stop riding. Carter hasn't quite figured out peddling. When he first got his bike he did ok, but while we were out today, he just scooted along. Oh well, he'll figure it out eventually.

Oh my cute!!!! I love that Cloie has a boyfriend. I used to do my hair and makeup when I knew I was going to see Brandon, but not anymore:)
