Big Boy Bike!

I am interrupting the Easter posts to show you Stetson's latest accomplished milestone! We got him his first BIG BOY BIKE today. You should have seen his face light up when he saw it for the first time. He can barely touch the pedals but that doesn't stop him from cruising around the house. I spent about an hour with him inside the house teaching him how to pedal and when I felt like he was going to start taking out the walls with how fast he was going; we decided to take on the out doors! That didn't go as well to say the least. We went up to Grandpa Roly's house to ride bikes with Stetson's cousin Bryce. Stets had two pretty bad falls on the asphalt and one on the grass. Luckily he had his helmet and pads on so he didn't get so much as a scratch! Roland discovered the one training wheel was REALLY bent so he tried to fix it. These things are made of steel so it wasn't bent from Stets falling, it was just a bad wheel to begin with but I never noticed that in the store. I think it's much better now but Stets wants to stick to riding in doors for now...lol Hopefully he will feel like getting back on the bike and trying again tomorrow because he was doing SO good until he fell.


First experience "off roadin"
The ensemble wouldn't be complete without these stylish knee pads!

Landon and Stetson need to ride bikes together! Well Landon has a tricycle...and Stetson would need to teach him how to pedal. We've tried time and time again! He got it for his 2nd birthday and he loves it! He rides it around in our tiny apartment! But he scoots...he can't quite pedal! Stetson looks so big on his bike!

How cute, he look stylin now with his car safty gear on. We wanted to get that bike for Jaxon, but he picked out the spiderman one. But they sure have fun riding the big boy bikes once they know how to ride.
