Ella gets a BIG bike and Cooper gets the Skuut bike.

Ella has had her beloved Skuut Bike since her 3rd birthday and she loved it... until the day she saw kids riding BIG bikes in the neighborhood.  The questions began. When will I get a BIG bike? Why doesn't my bike have peddles? Can I get a BIG bike with Peddles? So one random day Benji and I were down town and happened to see this pink bike in a bike shop window and decided this was the day Ella was going to get a BIG bike.

Well, we had to make it fun. Ella and Cooper were inside playing and we decided we would put the bikes on the front porch and ring the door bell. Our own version of Christmas in July.

Coop was so excited to have the seat lowered on the Skuut bike so he could now ride a bike and Ella was as happy and proud as could be to hand it over.

Looking a these pictures just makes me wonder where time has gone.  How could Ella possibly be old enough to be riding this BIG bike? And look at Cooper! How did this happen?
