My sweet little 5 year old is now riding his bike without training wheels. I took them off the Friday before last and he did so well! He is pretty coordinated and it took no time for him to do it. Of course, he still wrecked like we all did and still does every now and then. That first weekend his legs were bruised up pretty good. It’s been a little over a week and he is convinced his bicycle is a “motorcycle” and wants me to build ramps for him to jump. The kid is full of confidence.
I had plans of going to Wheeler for the past two weekends but things didn’t work out. Instead, I’ve been doing a lot of laundry. Our water heater went out, that set me behind a few days…as the local store didn’t have one that fit the space properly, the next night we went to Hobbs to get another, and the next night Wes installed it. A few days later, my dryer went out. Wesley kept getting in too late to look at it. So, finally weekend before last he worked on it. I took 3 loads of laundry to the laundry mat and spent almost $20. I couldn’t bring myself to spend that much again and decided to wait for the part to get here for Wes to fix it.
Last week, Wesley’s grandfather passed away. He was 88, his health had really declined in the past year or so. He was a very nice man. He loved his grandkids and great grand kids so very much. He got Alzheimer’s though and it become very severe towards the end. Still, it was a hard loss for Wesley.
March 17th was our 6th anniversary. I am still very much in love with my husband. I am very fortunate to have him in my life.
That’s my brief update. Love to all!

Yay for a mom who encourages that kind of self confidence! It’s tough to let a 5-year-old crash and bruise, but he will be better off for your courage! So sorry to hear about Wesley’s grandfather.
Bravo for your kid who learns things of life
and sorry for your loss
IN friendship
