Well, Connor is finally out of his first bike! He really should of been out of it probably a year ago, but it was so cute! One day we were at the park and Bryan and I really decided that he needed a bigger bike! So, we made a deal with him and told him that we would sell his bike and give him the money toward a new bike. We sold his bike within a week and got exactly what we wanted for it which gave him the stash! He kept looking at Wal Mart and we were trying to discourage him from buying a character bike (i.e. Spiderman) for many reasons, but it was his decision. I kept looking on Craigslist to look for new additions and Friday morning I found what looked like a great bike right down the street for a great price. It is an 18" and we were looking for a 16" but he tried it out and decided it would work and last him longer anyway! He rode it today like a pro and I'm so proud of my little bargain shopper!! He now has some money left to hopefully go in the savings account!!
2005 - Connor's 4th Birthday!
2009 - 7 Years Old!
After getting the bike, we went to a new friend's house where they have 2 sheep and a donkey! They just bred their sheep and have 4 new lambs and were kind enough to have us over to see up close. Brody was excited and we asked a lot of questions and learned a lot about taking care of sheep. The girls, Kiernan and Suzanna, show in 4-H with sheep and rabbits! They were a wealth of information and Brody's biggest question was..."Do you have to pick up the poop?" It was so kind of them to have us over and we were so grateful!
So, he learned that if you have a pasture you don't have to always pick it up, like you do a dog, but when they are in the barn you do all the time. He says he wants a fenced pasture for sure to make that job easier! Maybe one day we will!

Congrats on the bike. The twins are dying to take off the training wheels...so this spring I will be trying NOT to have a heart attack as I run my out of shape mom's body after them! Love the bike picture! Such a proud look on his face!
great job on the bike dude! And sheep right down the way? how fun. Maybe you can talk your mommy and daddy into getting you one. :)
Caleb is here looking at the picture of Connor. Caleb likes his new bike, he "likes the fashion."
How fun for Brody to get to touch and see the new lambs. How nice of them to have you over.
What a dream come true for Brody!
And I see Connor has the same helmet all these years later -- that's a good sign that he hasn't had any crazy crashes!
What a fun purchase for him.
What a special time! I new bike and new sheep! Thats so neat that you found both close to you.
