PT/Rope

After Arnes did PT with Justin's unit we made him climb a rope.

Snuggle

Daddy and daughter snuggle up while watching sports.

Foil Faces

Justin and Jenyce molding their faces out of tin foil...why they wanted to do that, I have yet to find out.

Games!

Aralynn (sitting in Justin's lap) kept shooting Carter's target...which made Carter the winner!...Sorry Daddy.

Jenyce and Arnes wanted to see who could get the most tickets...Jenyce totally won =)

Slumber Party

Aralynn and Carter take Jenyce and Arnes' bed, but that's ok...they will snuggle right in with them.

Daddy Puppy

Get in there Daddy! Aralynn puts her puppy in the kennel.

Funny story...So, we have been trying to get Carter to ride his bike without training wheels for A LONG time now. We have bribed him with ice cream, chucke cheese...SO MANY THINGS!!...Finally, I told him I will give him $100.00 if you ride your bike, but he still wouldn't even sit on the thing. Well, this morning he comes running into the house, "Mommy! Look what I can do!" Sure enough, he gets on that bike and rides it for the first time without training wheels! It looks like he has been doing it forever...and what does he say when he gets off..."Mommy, you owe me 100 bucks!" Note to self: Don't ever bribe kids with money ever again!

Way to go Carter!
