Riding Bikes!

So, my Brinley finally learned how to ride her bike without training wheels!! Yay! And before the age of 80--Hallelujah for that! Poor girl was going to be an old lady before she finally learned how to ride her bike without training wheels because we never really had a place for her to ride it before, dadgummit. Weeeelllll, you would think the girl just won a Gold Medal at the Olympics the way she walks around town--like she owns the place. Sheesh. :) It's pretty cute to me though but I have to think that...


So, we're thinking of getting down the the nitty gritty and really pimping this bad boy out now that Brinley is Queen of the 'Hizood. I'm thinking tinkling bells, shiny spinning rims, gold chain(s?), sparklers on the handlebars--the works.



My favorite part is since her legs are so long and the bike is so little, her knees practically bang against the handlbars...it's awesome.





Braden joined in the fun also...

Yay for Brinley! I think my little Avery will be learning to ride a bike and drive a car in the same year. We are not in any hurry.

I loved watching Brinley at mom's house the other day riding her back. She kept looking at me like, Yeah, I'm a regular Lance Armstrong. And what? With her lips all pursed and everything. I love it. Braden's cute too.

love her hair--can you come up and do my girl's??

i think instead of sparklers you should have SPEAKERS on the handlebars--she could be blasting out some tunes while she does some sweet jumps on that bad boy.

she is adorable kristi!

work it like you own it brinley! good job!

hey, she's younger than aubrey and aubrey just learned to ride her bike with no training wheels a couple of months ago. we had the same issues-didn't have a good place to ride really(our sidewalks slope really bad in front of our house). we found a park with a big ol concrete basketball court and thats where we taught her. and also the fact that aubrey is scared/timid about almost everything put her a little behind. poor girl gets that from her mama.

no worries kristi lady.
We didn't take Will OR grace's training wheels off until grade:) The upside? at that point they practically TEACH THEMSELVES:)

Jori said...

Go Brinley! She looks so cute too! Kaitlin still can't ride a two wheeler. Teaching themselves Tara? sounds good to me.;)

Jan said...

Yay Brinley! Love it, love it, love it! She's the WOMAN!!

OK, is she just the cutest dang thing? I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 8. We lived on a really steep hill and I never really thought of it until the summer I went to my cousins that lived in a cul-de-sac. That's what you get when your kid #6.

Emily said...

Such a cutie! How sweet would she look if you changed out those handlebars with some low-down fatboy chopper ones? hehe

Jan said...

I love those pictures of Brinley riding her bike by herself, she's so cute, can hardly wait to see those to kids in a few weeks! love mom

Jan said...

We just bought that same bike for Stella. Hope it doesn't take her as long to learn to ride! Just kidding. Look at that big, beautiful house of yours!!!

Ashley said...

Way to go Brinley! She is of course adorable.

My girls barely have the leg strength to pedal with training wheels. Soooo...it will probably be a while til they ride with them off! I think we will have the long leg problem too!

Mel said...

Yay Brinley!!! What an accomplishment. Way to go girl!

We are doing great. I am pregnant with number two. I am due in january. WE are just poor college students living with my parents but it's good. Let's keep in touch!!
