Elise Rides Her Bike!!
Elise was at Grandma and Grandpa Hubbard's and wanted to learn how to ride her bike without training wheels. So, Grandpa took them off and took her in the back yard. He started her up on this little hill and let her go.... she just kept going... and going... and going. She was yelling "I'm Doing It, I'm Doing It".. and she never looked back. We were so proud of her. She did it her very first time and the next thing we know she is doing the loop on the street by their house!
TRIUMPH!
Lauren rides her bike!
Lauren and Daddy worked really hard at learning to ride a bike. We were at Grandma and Grandpa Hubbard's. They have the perfect area to learn how to ride a bike. A large flat grassy area and really long, straight streets with hardly any traffic. We were quite proud of her!
TRIUMPH!!
Now that is concentration!
A fun weekend with neighbors!
Good friends Lauren Wood, Elise and Natalie Freundl!
Ryan and Katrina Davis have a bounce house they got out for the kids. We had a BBQ with a few families and the kids were WILD AND CRAZY!

We ended the afternoon over at The Freundls for a swim. Summer is winding down so we are getting in a few more swims before it's over!

A fun Disney craft!
So since I am taking my girls to Disney World this fall I thought this would be really fun to make for them to get autographs. These are super cute and much cheaper!! Let my crafting begin. Thanks to my sister-in-law who told me about this blog! See below for this cool idea!
One of the most memorable things about a Disney vacation is getting to meet the characters. Before our last trip I remember worrying about my boys being scared of the characters, but when we got to Disney my boys couldn't get enough of them. Well, except for the princesses who they refuse to even stand beside for a picture:) Getting autographs is a big part of meeting Mickey, Donald, and even the Green Army Man, so every kid needs to have an autograph book. Sure you can buy the ones that they sell in all the gift shops, but why not make your own really cute {personalized} version for way less money!
I started our autograph books with a small spiral bound notebook that I picked up at Walmart for less than $2. Using my Silhouette, I cut a few Mickey heads and the year out of white contact paper. Because the contact paper is so thin {and I was trying to cover up the writing on the cover of the notebook} I had to do a double layer of Mickey heads on the cover. Then I cut each of my boys' first initials out in black vinyl { I used a font called Waltograph} and put the initial onto the white Mickey head. If you look closely at the top right corner, you can see that I also added a small piece of black vinyl to cover up the smaller logo {Mead} that was on the front cover.
Now all three of my boys are ready to get some autographs from Mickey Mouse and all the gang...and I'm hoping maybe we can manage to get at least one picture with a princess:)
