James w/out training wheels!

Last night we took off James' training wheels and wow did he take off! He did great, he is such a little daredevil, plus Nathan now rides without training wheels, thats all the motivation he needs, if Nathan can do it, so can I!

He did so good, he has one battle scar under his chin but he's tough and I'm sure we'll be out practicing again today after school.

My mothers day gift

For Mothers Day Jim worked on the stairs that drive me crazy with their nastiness.......

Look at Cappy at the top of the stairs, I think he's afraid to walk on the new stairs, they've been off limits all weekend..

Just some trim pieces to add and wow!

What a transformation!!

Before: Old, beat up, brown and UGLY

It was a huge job, we stayed up until midnight all weekend sanding, staining and varnishing the new steps, but man was it worth it, they are gorgeous!

I'll post another picture as soon as they are officially finished.
