Tractors and Mother's Day

We spent Saturday morning at John Deere's Drive and Ride event. A free family event for people in the market for a John Deere tractor. We're not in the market for a tractor, but we're always looking for something free to do with the kids.














For Mother's Day Laura made me a beautiful necklace and we went swimming at the Waukee YMCA. Our daycare provider, Dana, asked Laura some questions about me and I will treasure her answers forever.
My mom is 33 years old
She likes to go to the pool
The best thing she cooks is yummy meat in tacos
Her favorite food is Daddy's best noodles
Her favorite thing to do to relax is have me rub her back
We like to go on dates together
She is really good at stretching
As you can see, my mom is special because she is from GG and Papa.

Determination

Laura learned to ride her bike without training wheels on Sunday!







 Sam could hardly stand watching Laura do something he couldn't do. If you look close enough, you can see him bawling in the background...




Determination, grit, stubbornness, and fearlessness all came forth and by Tuesday Sam learned how to ride a bike without training wheels too. High Trestle Trail, here we come!
