NO TRAINING WHEELS!!

She's so very proud of herself (we are too) and after just a few days was even starting off all on her own. Thanks to Uncle Sean working with her over spring break, otherwise this frustrated mama would still have her on training wheels.

Off she goes :)

First crash!  She was fine.

Spring Break '15

We had a fun, but busy spring break this year. Half the week spent at Grandma Dee and Dan's newly built home at the beach. The other half spent in Sunriver with friends.


Flying our kite like a pro

Oreo's and milk


Someone likes to sleep with big sister

Tucker taking a swim in the Columbia

Lots of climbing and exploring the rocks. So fun!













Just a few pictures from Sunriver. We were too busy riding our bikes, swimming, hiking and having fun! Claire did learn to ride her bike with NO TRAINING wheels!! So proud of her! Thank you Uncle Sean for helping her. You're the best!!
