Just like riding a bike..

So the boys got bikes for Christmas and they haven't been too interested in them. The other day Nathan was getting one of Mitchell's bikes ready for him to ride so I told him to lower the seat all the way so I could ride. It was SO much fun!!! It was "just like riding a bike" ha. I was nervous because I hadn't ridden a bike in probably like 20 years, yeah I am 30. So I then got the boys to ride with me on the road and they had a blast. So we have been riding bikes almost every day since. I got a seat on the back of mine so Cooper can go and he just loves it. Sunday Nathan went with us too. I am ready for the boys to move a little faster so I can get exercise, but we will get there.

On other exciting news we booked our summer vacation to Jamaica. We decided that this will be a big year for us so we are going to have a wonderful vacation. This is the year we both turn 30 and in July we will be married for 10 years!! So this is our gifts for all of that. We are going with our friends Lindsey and Michael so I know we will have a good time. Now we just have to wait until June 14th, that is a long time.

Oh by the way, Gavin and Eli both love their schools. I am mad at myself for not switching Gavin sooner. He loves his new "science" school as he calls it. Eli has been to preschool twice and loves it as well, he hasn't cried once. He really is becoming a big boy!

Back to normal...sorta












So I am finally back after Christmas break. We were busy, busy, busy as usual. We woke the boys up for "Christmas morning" on the 24th so we could get on the road to Mt. Pleasant. The boys got bikes from Santa which they didn't really care about, but were super excited about there capes(thanks Mandi) and nacho libre masks. They actually like their bikes now that they have been riding them. Then we got on the road, it was a long trip but we got there around 4ish. We went to a Christmas eve service which was super long. The boys couldn't sit still for the hour we were there so we took off. 

Christmas day we went to my aunt Sue's house in Tyler and spent time with my cousins I haven't seen in a while. We sent the big boys with my mom and we headed back to Mt. Pleasant. The day after Christmas we went to Nathan's aunt Debbie's for their family Christmas. We had a great time there as usual. We drove to Mineola that night to spend the night and have Christmas with my family that Saturday. We headed home on Sunday and got a flat tire in the trailer we were pulling on highway 20, not the best place to change a tire. Nathan took care of it and we were off again. 

We were planning to have Cooper's birthday party on NYE, but he got sick so we postponed it for Sat. when he was feeling better. I can't believe he is one, it just breaks my heart. He is so big!! Anyways I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and  I will leave you with some pictures.
