Wish I had a picture of the girls and I yesterday riding our bikes! We decided to go for a bike ride yesterday as Chris had taken off on the 4-wheeler for some guy time. The girls had a friend over for a while and then it was time for the friend to go home. I then asked the girls if they wanted to go for a bike ride and simultaneously they said YES! I have been very leery of riding my bike with both of the girls on their bikes, because Haley has had a little bit of a listening issue in the past when she rode her bike and it made me uncomfortable as I could not control her bike and mine at the same time. Well I felt like we could give it a try again with all 3 of us on our bikes and it was great!
The girls handled their bikes very well and we even made it competitive to see who could stay in the lead, me laughing as Haley was peddling as fast as she could to pass Rachel and me laughing as I was trying to not pass them both and act like I was really trying to!
It is so amazing to think that I can take a bike ride with my girls....how the time has gone by, but I am having so much fun with them as they grow into the different stages of their lives....but please tell me how to get them to quit bickering and fighting......but then I do remember my sisters and I doing the same thing.....memories gotta love them!

Oh yes, a picture would be great for Aunt Pamela to see~~ But I can imagine the riding and the bickering... My two babes are off for the mission trip at 10 today.. I'll be all alone with the oldest son for the rest of Spring Break.. Wonder what he and I can bicker about???? LOL
I think bickering is just a sibling thing. They will grow out of it and be best friends later on! I, too, love being able to do things with Shelby now that she is older. I think the older they get the better it is! (I know, most parents would say teenage years were terrible, but they have been my favorite so far! Weird. I know.) Have fun, Kristina
I am so glad that my children will be so close together. They will have those memories, and I have missed out on some with my sisters, because of the age difference. When you have an age difference like me and my sisters it is not bickering, it's all out fighting.
I would love to see a picture too! As for the bickering...I don't know. Is an age gap, same gender, how you handle it? I don't know...my sisters and I FOUGHT (as Amee put it) all through our growing up years, but don't now. My kids don't really bicker....once again, don't know why. I know what you mean by doing more things as they grow up, but I sure do miss those chubby cheeks and wobbly legs!
What a fun stage!! I can just see you guys, riding bikes all summer long! :)
