This month, Carissa went out with Daddy. He took here to Raley's to pick out stickers and to get a free cookie from the bakery. Then he took her to Cultive for a frozen yogurt.
Scott took Maia in April to Borders for her favorite, Hot Chocolate. He read her some books and let her pick one out to buy.
My cousin Tammy (from my Dad's side) came up from San Diego for Memorial Day weekend to visit family/friends in SF. We met up with her and her boyfriend Troy in Emeryville at the outdoor mall. I enjoyed meeting Troy and visiting with Tammy. She has always been and always will be my sweet cousin. I'm so glad to see her so happy and successful.
I remember last summer when their cousin Karianne started riding her bike without training wheels. I thought that was amazing! She's the same age as Carissa & Maia, just a few months younger. My girls had the motivation to learn this year. I told them if they learned to ride without training wheels I promised to buy them a new bike. The bikes they had were only about a 5" wheel, given to them when they were 2. The bike shown here is borrowed from our neighbor's house. It's about a 10" wheel. It was perfect for learning. To my surprise, it only took 3 days before they were zipping around the park parking lot. I got them new bikes that night. 16" wheels from Toys R Us. That's really the only place you can find that size. They aren't tall enough for a 18". I'll have to post new photos of them on their new bikes soon.
