Another reminder that my kids are growing too fast!!!

About a month ago I let Jack play outside with some friends while I was inside getting ready to go out with a friend.  When I walked out my front door my jaw about dropped to my feet because there was Jack, riding his friend's two-wheeler.  On Jack's fourth birthday last August we got both the kids boot scoot bikes, which apparently work really well because that was the first time Jack had been on a pedal two-wheeler.  We didn't even own one at the time, but after he surprised us all we took him bike shopping that weekend.  He picked out the one with the handle bar that turns and revs like a motorcycle.  He tells everyone that that's his gas that makes him go faster!   The first day he got the bike we all rode to the high school where he could ride around the "race track", which was a lot of fun for all of us.
My poor, sensitive-skinned children.  This is what Jack's legs looked like a couple of days later from aggressive push starts that bumped his shins into the pedals.

Too Funny about the duplicate posts. Didn't we do this with hiding veggies once too! Great minds think alike.

His poor little legs. That shows he was determined if he didn't let it stop him.

I LOVE those boot scoot bikes! I'd never heard of them before, but that makes so much more sense. I think I need to get my kids one :)

Oh his poor little legs! But it just shows all the fun he had. I havn't done blogging in such a long time, I have had fun catching up with you through all your past posts that I missed. I love those pictues of the hot air ballons! How fun was that!?! And that picture of Cameron and Jayci...so cute! Cameron looks so much like Jake in that picture to me. Tell him that I love him and the Triplett's will definatly be praying for him. Lov eya guys.
