The Training Wheels are off!

Daddy thought it was about time to teach Keanna to ride her bike, without training wheels! They had just cut the grass in the field in front of our house and Justin thought the grass would be a softer fall, then cement.

Keanna has done so well! She is still a little unsure about it, but in time it should be no big deal.

Here are some cute pictures of Ayla.

Say goodbye to our financial future

We decided to make an afternoon stop in Oberammergau after Justins Dental Conference. We enjoyed the sunshine, Italian Eis and window shopping. I have been wanting a nice pair of boots for sometime, so when we passed a shoe/boot store, Justin suggested we take a look.

Justin's entire life savings flashed before his eyes, as his three girls, got giddy over all the shoes!!! The girls tried on about every girl shoe in the store, independent of the size, and I had finally found a number of boots that I liked!

As the girls and I were enjoying our experience, I glanced over and noticed Justin looking a little pale. What's the matter? He then gave me an account of a conversation he had with a friend. Justin then told me,

"No one can afford 3 girls and I have 4!"

Linderhof Palace

We were so sad to see Dale, Leslie and Garrity go. We enjoyed catching up with them and showing off our adorable kids.

We visited another one of King Ludwigs Castles Linderhof. He spent much more time at this castle and we were able to see why he is the "Mad King Ludwig." Above, are my cute girls at one of the many fountains.
Chariot fountain
This is a man made cave. He would have his own personal opera concerts in here. The main charachters would stand over by the mural, the choir and orchestra would stand where the picture was taken and he would float around in his little boat. Can you say excentric!

More trip photos

We spent a couple days in Garmisch enjoying the beautiful Alps and fairy tale castles.

We were so happy to have Garrity with us. The girls adored her and wanted to spend all their time with her.
The Austrian Alps, we had to make a stop, walk around, and take in the beauty.

Neuschwanstein Castle. King Ludwigs fantasy palace that was lived in for a few short months. Next, time you watch a Disney movie see if you can identify their famouse castle. Keanna knew exactly who to go to so she could get carried up the hill.
Ayla began a new habit on this trip. When she wouldn't get her way, she would lay on the ground and throw a fit. It's difficult, it to be good parents when traveling. Mommy and Ayla
Just, a cute picture of our Ayla
I have been to the castle before so volunteered to stay outside with Ayla. As I was taking pictures, I saw the crew inside the castle. Do you see them waving?
