This deserved it's own post–on Sunday we went out for a family walk/bike ride and Will learned how to (mostly) ride his bike with out the training wheels! (He needs a bit of help getting started, but once he gets going, look out!)
This week hasn't been as fun as last week (you can see the pictures below). This week we're working on Potty Training Alex. Monday was a full time day. Tuesday we took a break. James and I got to go on a Date Night Monday night and some friends watched the boys (we saw Mama Mia! and really enjoyed it). But the boys stayed up too late, and then we had some strong storms that night that woke the boys up again. So we were all pretty tired and not in the best frame of mind for that. Wednesday we had Bible Study and we were too early in the process to ask them to help him, so we extended our break. Today, we're back into Potty Time. 
We've spent the majority of the time outside, and Alex running around in just a long T-shirt (though he's started to ask for pants today). He's only had 1-2 accidents each day (so far). He's excited about getting it, and getting the pee in the potty. We've moved to now wearing underwear (but still no pants). When he's successful, he gets one of these:
Will gets one too. So he's been VERY supportive of his brother! 
I didn't JUST work all last week–I just didn't have time to document other fun things we did. Here's a quick week in review.
Monday–we washed the car.
Then GrandmaLo and Grandpa Miles stopped by for one more night at the Miles B&B on their way back to the farm.
Wednesday we got to finally went to our first meeting of the July Ladies Bible Study (Yes, it was the 3rd Meeting of the month and sadly, first one I made it to).
Thursday we went up to visit my mom and dad. The boys had a great time playing in Taylor Lake. They can't wait to go back. Mom tried to take them when they stayed with them while we were gone, but Alex didn't like the feeling of the sand on his feet (?!?) and they had to leave after a short time. This time they loved it and would have stayed longer, but it was time for us to go.
After supper, Grandma had ice cream that was very much enjoyed:
