No Training Wheels

Steve decided to take the training wheels off the kids' bikes last night. Zach, the natural athlete, took to it immediately. Izzy was a little nervous, fell a couple times, but once she started trying again today after school, was much more confident. Emily - had no interest. She couldn't get it, and just told Steve to put the training wheels back on. Here's a glimpse. They spent maybe an hour last night for the VERY FIRST TIME, and this is as soon as they got home from school. We're mighty proud of how well Izzy and Zach are doing. =)

Mini Me

Like Father... Like Son. Need I say more?

Oh boy!

Zach is such a boy. Today, he built his "gun" completely by himself. IMHO, it's actually pretty good. Handle, trigger, stock and barrell... he's even pretending to look down the sights as he shoots. Ahh... the joys of having a boy.

Z&E's Science Fair

Zach and Emily had their science fair on Friday, to wrap up a month learning about science at school. There were experiments and all sorts of things to feel, touch, listen, and see. It was actually pretty cool!

Wood block race! Which texture would the block slide fastest down - non-slip matting, rubber, sandpaper, or wood? Of course the boys (and Zach!) loved it!

Just one of the tables to explore. There were 6 different table/stations.

The big FINALE! The kids built paper mache volcanos and then got to watch them erupt at the end of the science fair.

Here's Izzy's spring school picture. I like this one much better then the fall version. =)

Their Father's Children

Spent the afternoon racing around the homemade "racetrack" in the driveway. They are their father's children. =)
