New haircuts for the girls

This was the first haircut that Alyssa actually wanted to get. Usually she throws a fit about a tiny trim, but she actually requested to get her hair cut short like "Chrissa's" (an American Girl). I'm super thrilled about this haircut because it's easier to brush and quicker to wash and dry! She loves her new haircut so much. She got it cut yesterday afternoon and ever since she checks herself out in the mirror constantly and does all these hair tosses and poses while she's looking at herself...ha ha it's hilarious!
Here's Kylie's new hair cut. I'm not in love with it, I want her hair to grow longer so I can do cute things with it, but the back was again growing way longer than the sides so I decided to even it up a little.



Alyssa Riding her bike!

YAY for Alyssa! She can ride her bike now with no training wheels. She's actually been doing it for a few weeks and she LOVES it. It was a lot of work teaching her how but now she's really really good at it! YAY!

Trevor riding his bike

About a month ago, Mark took the older kids' training wheels off their bikes. He's only been able to go out with them a few times, but Trevor got the hang of it really fast. I was able to get him on camera today. Alyssa is not quite there yet. After the 1st time of trying, and crashing, she refused to get back on her bike until her training wheels were put back on. Well we refuse to put them back on, so we'll see how long it takes for her to get back on. We thought once she saw Trevor doing it, she'd be like, "okay if Trevor can do it, I can do it" which is usually how things work for the 2 of them. But she still refuses. She was actually really happy for him today though and was cheering him on. It was cute. Here are a few pics and a video at the end...
