Learning to Ride a Bike

So now that the hydro seed is in the yard and we can’t touch it for 3 weeks (my heart is NOT broken about this), what to do at nights after work? It means I actually cook instead of cold cereal, hot dogs and grilled ham and cheese sandwiches every night. It also means that we can just hang outside like we did last night. We were outside enjoying the night with our neighbors (also my brother and sister-in law Jake and Marci Packard) and Jace decided he wanted to help little nephew Owen (who just turned 3) learn how to ride his bike without training wheels. Owen has this awesome little thing called a strider that he is a pro at that has helped him learn his balance and he has got that down. Now its just for the pedals. So Jace and Jake ran up and down the street a hundred times pushing Owen and he actually started getting the hang of it. I took a bunch of pictures that you can see below.
Owen's famous cheese smile and Noah trying to take over the Strider.

Jace testing out Owen's new bike. 
Owen decided the Strider was easier.

So Noah took the new bike. 
Then mean uncle Jace took the new bike from Noah.  
They decided to have a race. Jace lost.  
Noah on the bike with Marci. 

And I just liked this picture because Owen has his fingers up his nose.
