Abigail's new bike

Brooklyn on the bike

Abigail

she is ready to get off

A couple of weeks ago we bought Abigail a two wheeler bike. I found one on ksl for $10. So I said I wanted it. Set a time to go up to Salt Lake to get it, and was really excited. The day we were supposed to pick it up, Mike and I went and got cash, and drove up. We found the house and knocked on the door there was no answer. I tried a couple of times and no one was there. So we finally just left.

On the way home we were talking about it, and we remembered that Mike's parents said that they could help us buy a bike for her. So we Mike called his mom and told him what happened and she said she could help us out. So a couple of days we went to walmart to get the bike.

Abigail is still unsure about the whole bike thing we can get her on it, but she still will not pedal. We just keep trying to teach her.

apartment upgrades

We have been busy here, getting improvements on our apartment. Our landlord decided instead of fixing the swamp cooler that he would get central air in our apartment. We are lucky to have the up stairs apartment, because the downstairs didn't get it.

Abigail didn't like the people that were putting it in. It took half a day and she cried the whole time that they were here. Mike and I were really frustrated, because nothing would make her happy. We even tried to lock her in the spare room to watch a movie. She finally came out right before they left and she told them to go home. The first day that we had it I had it on the whole day. But it was still really hot. My landlord came that night to fix something. He said he didn't think it was working so he had them come and fix it.

The next week, we had new windows put in our apartment. We were prepared for the worst with Abigail. But she actually liked the guys that came in she kept playing with them. The new windows look really nice and are easy to open and close. Another plus is the fact that they actually lock. Our last ones didn't.

I really like our landlord now. He bought the place a year ago and has been making updates ever since. He is also really fast to come fix things when you tell him that they are broken.

Picnic in the rain

Last weekend was really nice. Mike and I took the girls on a ride, and we ended up at Utah lake. There was a walking trail so we went on it. We thought it would be a good place for a picnic. So we set it up with Mike's family to have a picnic the next weekend.

This weekend came and it was rainy and cold, so we decided to just go to someones house. The bad thing was half of us were in bad moods a few people were sick. At least the kids were happy. After Mike's parents got there they asked if we were going to go to the park or stay there. Somehow it got decided that we would go to rock canyon park. It wasn't raining at the time and they said it wasn't that cold. I was glad because I had a light jacket on and flip flops. Brooklyn had a light jacket on.

By time we got up there it was starting to rain was a little windy. I got a blanket out of our car and wrapped Brooklyn up and held her. Mike took Abigail to the playground. Abigail started walking from the play ground to us. And every time she went back and forth she would jump in the puddles of water. It then started to rain. Abigail absolutely loved it. She was trying to catch the rain in her mouth. She was soaking wet by time we got her to come to us. My mother in law wrapped her up in a blanket.

Needless to say we ate and then left the park. I was cold the rest of the night. I hope next time we decide to have a picnic that it will be warmer.
