Bikes, fairs, dates, friends,and birthday parties

The weather has been so good lately that Kenny always wants to go outside and ride his bike, and since we couldn't really go outside too much last year (because Anna was a newborn and it was too hot), I am definitely going to take advantage this year and play with the kids outside as much as possible! So here are a couple of pictures of the kids riding Kenny's bike.

With Kenny, it's all about safety first! He insisted on wearing his "helmet", which is really a monster's Inc. hard hat! He refused to use his pedals because last time he used his pedals outside he fell sideways into the rocks...I tried to encourage him as much as possible, but to no avail!

 

Anna has to have her turn, because anything Kenny does or wants, she needs too!

 

Right now there is a carnival at the mall, and we had to go. Kenny tried for like 10 minutes to get up this darn net. Gordon and I both thought he would get like half way and then start crying (it's kind of high), or just totally fall off of it, but he worked so hard and did it! Victory! At one point when he was half way up the thing, like four kids in a row started climbing it, and I was so scared they were going to knock him off! There was a height limit, so I'm pretty sure he was the youngest in there, and those older kids scared me!

 

One night we went on a double date with the parents, and Stephanie and Sarah and Jill watched the kids. Anna was a pill, but in the end she fell asleep and when we walked in this was the cutest picture, so I had to take it.


Kenny absolutely adores Jill, I love seeing them together, Jill puts up with a lot from Kenny, she really is so nice to him.


Sorry, this is a long post, but it would not be complete without some pictures from Aria's zoo party. This is Anna being thrown in the air by Gordon!


Kenny is way into African wildlife, even when we sing Old MacDonald, Kenny always chooses to have on the farm zebras ( which say, crackalackin here and there), giraffes (which say roar) and monkeys. He cracks me up! Here we are looking at the giraffes.


And of course he needed to ride the carousel...he normally is afraid of it, but this time he wanted to ride it...thank you OSO!


Yes, Kenny can be a two year old sometimes! This is him telling us no to something!
