NO training wheels and swinging 3.13.12

Guess who can now ride a bike without training wheels?

(sorry for the bad blurry pictures, I obviously don't know how to set my camera on the right settings)

 YES!! Isaac got it down QUICK! And we're SOO proud of him! Matthew worked with him one day for a while and since then Isaac just worked on it himself and practiced and before we knew it he was taking off and riding perfectly! We couldn't be more happy for him!

 One of Isaac's absolute most favorite things to do is ride his bike. And one day we were just like "Isaac we're going to work on helping you ride your bike without training wheels". At first he seemed hesitant and acted a little worried about starting. He said that he couldn't ride then, and for a couple days after we took the training wheels off, he would just ride his old bike (which is too small for him and is Samuel's now). I think he was just afraid that he'd fall too much. But I think the fact that he loves to ride motivated him enough to work on it more so he could ride HIS bike again.

 And after just a few tries on his own he got it down!!

Here he is when he was just starting to get it on his own! He's improved so much just since this video too!

Luella has really been enjoying her new swing. I am really happy that Matthew built this swing set for the kids. They've really been having a great time on it!

 Isaac & Samuel are great about pushing her in her swing. She'll laugh and laugh while they push her and talk to her. They'll do all sorts of stuff to make her laugh. She LOVES her brothers!

 She really was laughing a lot at Samuel while he was pushing her. I'm not sure what all he was saying to her, but there was alot of giggling going on.

And then Isaac came up and started to twist her swing so she could spin around.

I'm not totally sure she really likes to spin around like that, sometimes she seems happy with it and other times she seems a little scared. I have to tell Isaac to be careful with her cause he'll get to doing it to much with her. But I'm pretty sure she's getting use to her brothers doing crazy scary and dangerous things with her. It's a thrill for her I guess!

Here's Samuel making her go up WAY high! I thought she'd totally be scared going too high on the swing, since she has a really sensitive belly reflex ever since she was newborn her belly gets scared easily. But apparently she's ok with the swing or got use to this! However, she does have a concerned look on her face!

Here's a video of the kids having fun on the swing set!
