NO more TRAINING WHEELS!

Our little boy is growing up way too fast. He can officially ride his bike without training wheels!
July 14th
It took only a day for Payton to learn to ride his bike without training wheels. He didn't become a pro right away, but he could do it with out us holding onto him.
Josh was a really good teacher. I laughed a lot while watching them. Payton would get SO frustrated with himself, then we would act totally pathetic when he would fall. I couldn't help myself.
He struggled first with trying to figure out how to balance. While working on that he struggled with looking afraid to where he was going.  He just wanted to keep watching his feet.
He did finally get those down. Last, Josh had to teach him how to start off by himself. It took him a few tries, but he finally got it!
July 17th
He was so excited to go out and ride his bike. I took him and his sisters outside and we watched him ride his bike all by himself. He did so great!
Josh and I were very surprised at how well he did. He has a tendency to get so frustrated with himself that it causes him to just want to give up. He just had to convince himself that he could do it! Once he did that he was totally fine. He is excited to ask for a new bike for his birthday, since he is out growing this toy story bike he got when he was 3.

Josh's last week @ home before returning to work

Not a ton to say about all these pictures, but had to document them for myself! 
July 10th
Love these kids!
Cutest kids ever! July 10th
4th of July with Aunt Kelsey, Grandma and Grandpa Robertson and Aunt Shannon!
We watched the Manteca fireworks from the side of the road. We sat there waiting for over and hour and the kids were so done right after is started. I hope as they get older they will enjoy it more.
After watching the fireworks we came home and did a few of our own. Payton did sparklers. Scarlett didn't like the sparklers very much!
It was so fun watching the excitement on their eyes!
While grandma Robertson was here the kids painted pictures. They loved painting!
Fun with Grandma!
Can never have too many pictures of Scarlett or Payton with Mckinley! These two love their little sister!
July 6th
Love the various faces that little babies always make!

July 12th!
These kids and their smiles bring so much joy into our lives!
July 13th caught Mckinley smiling in her sleep!
Fun in the sun! Mckinley didn't play out in the sun, maybe next summer!
Swimming with daddy in the pool!
They each had a blast playing together! So fun to watch them play and laugh!

Adorable dress that Mckinley wore to her first time at church! July 17th!
Sleeping on dad!
Enjoying her bath!
The little pool before we upgraded to the bigger pool! 
As you can see not much room for both of them to play in.
He's getting so big too fast!
I wish I could get my kids to play outside more like this every day, because they do have fun when they are out there!
Daddy giving Mckinley a bath!
