4 wheels, down to 2 and back up to 4

Just this week we were able to get Parker off of his training wheels of his pedal bike. He is doing so well. He always said that he would do it when he turned 4 and he lived up to his word. So, why not give him something else to work towards, right? My thoughts exactly! Our present to Parker for his birthday was a dirt bike. This is something that his Dad has wanted to get him for a long time. I was not so sure, but went along with it. And now I would have to admit that it is so stinkin cute!!! He was so excited to see it and has been doing unbelievable. It has training wheels and we can control how fast he is able to go. It is pretty slow for the time being, so he hopped right on and took off. He would literally ride this all day long if we let him. Just Sat, he was on it for over 3 hours. My baby is really growing up!

After his first lap around our circle. All smiles!

Daddy teaching him how everything works!

And... He's off!

As you can see the weather wasn't too great that day. Jeff and I had great intentions of taking him camping that night with just the three of us. Well, it was like 50 degrees and raining. Sooo....

We set up the tent in the basement and the boys camped out downstairs. Too Cute! His Daddy is such a good sport. Wouldn't even think about letting his boy down! He said they were going to go camping and they went camping. Lantern and all.

We had his last birthday party on Sun. with Jeff's Family. It was for Parker and Grandpa Harry!

Here is is opening some of the gifts... A tool belt with real tools and some safety gear for all his riding.

Grandpa is pretty into sports. Parker is getting into it as well, so he thought it would be fun to make a football cake for him and Grandpa to share. Parker's team against Grandpa's team. Michigan colors of course!

I won't say it out loud, but if you look at the end zones, you can tell how old they both turned! SHHH!

Happy Birthday Parker and Grandpa!
