Old Fashioned Popcorn!

I absolutely love these pictures and the story behind them. Every Friday night, it is movie night! The boys love movie night, we pick a movie and make microwave popcorn and have hot chocolate or sparkling apple cider. It's a big deal and the kids look forward to it every week. Well this week Daddy went to Walmart and bought an "old fashioned" popcorn popper like he and I had a a kid. It's an hot air popper. The boys went nuts over it, the totally loved it! The looks on their faces are priceless. The more the popcorn popped the more excited they became!

Look at Me.... No more Training Wheels!

Carter has learned to ride his bike just shy of his 7th birthday! He has been too frightened to take his training wheels off anytime before now! Gabe has been trying for two years to coax him into taking the training wheels off. Anytime, Gabe would broach the subject Carter would cry or run away screaming "Noooo!" It was pretty frustrating for Daddy but I knew he would go for it when he was ready and that is just what he did! The new neighborhood we live in has a little boy Carter's age named Michael (Carter has decided to call him MIKE...LOL) They became fast friends and Carter thinks Michael is just the coolest kid around! Michael is the youngest of three and he is 100% boy and not afraid of anything. He rides his bike everyday out in front of our house, up and down the street. I didn't notice it, but Carter had stopped riding his bike and would only bring out his scooter. I found out later that he didn't want Michael to see his training wheels. One Saturday afternoon, he asked Gabe to take off his training wheels and teach him how to ride but only in the BACK YARD, because he didn't want Michael to see him! It didn't take long before he was riding with confidence. I took these pictures 2 days later at the park and you can just see his little face beaming with pride! I was super proud too!
