Losing Teeth & Wild and Free

Bentley lost her first tooth right before kindergarten started!  All of the boys waited until right before 2nd grade; she's ahead of the curve.
This girl loves doing all sorts of gymnastics!
It's hard to stay awake all day with the big kids!
We've been using some of Oma & Papa Dude's bikes and going for rides as a family.  It's been great!

Wild and Free on 83 Bike Parade!
Mackenzie wanted to feel part of the action too.
Checking out the firetruck.
Damon worked really hard with Acey to get her ready for the dog show.  He went out to practice every day for weeks leading up to it.  We brought the hurdles and everything for her to jump, but it didn't turn out so well.  She was super distracted and refused to do anything, for Damon or Kenney.  She ended up recieving the "Naughtiest Puppy" award, which she earned, but Damon didn't quite get the joke.  It really hurt his feelings.  He came home and cried.  It was really sad to watch.  We tried to explain that everyone knew she wasn't a bad dog, but there was just too much going on.  He wasn't having it.  I'm not too sure if there will be any dog shows in our future...



Watch Mackenzie closely....





The kids were all interviewed before the parade began.



The riding was a little tricky for Bentley since she just started riding without training wheels, but she did great!



Damon and Kenney trying to get Acey to cooperate was a struggle!  She was so distracted and would not do anything they had practiced.  It was really hard on Damon, after working so hard.



Proof that Acey can do some tricks!!  He had me post this to Facebook so everyone could see that she really can perform when she's not distracted.



Mackenzie is pretty funny explaining all of Acey's tricks.  She knows how to signal her to do all of them, but she doesn't really have any control over Acey.
