New Bike/New Photographer

Landon had outgrown his bicycle and my friend Lisa was giving away a bike and said she would love to give it to Landon.  She said it just needed some new handle bar grips.  Landon was so excited.  While Seth was at the store getting the new grips, he just decided to pick Sawyer up a new bike.  Landon had completely worn his older one out and we knew it wouldn't make it through a day with Sawyer.

Seth called me when he drove up so I could have the camera ready to capture Sawyer's face.  I wish I had gotten out the video camera also to capture his sweet, little voice.

Waiting to see what his big surprise is...

"A bike all for me?!"

"Look a bike for me!!  That's my bike!?"  "Thank you, daddy!"

Then Seth immediately got busy taking off the training wheels.  And Laurel captured every detail! (love that I can just turn it over to her and it's fun to see what she photographs.  It's always a surprise when I download pictures.)

They are off!




He hasn't quite got it down yet.  He has trouble getting those legs all the way around when he's pedaling.  He's great with the balance because he's had so much practice with the strider bike.  We just need to get out there and practice more and I have a feeling he will pick it up quickly.  He loves it though and will get on it by himself and try to pedal and then he will crash and get back on.  This is a bike loving family!

After Laurel took all the bike pictures, she had a photo shoot with Savannah and got some adorable pictures:











I love them!  I love, love that they both like taking pictures!
