If you LOVE the weather....

Wait 24 hours and it will change!

Yesterday was an amazing Colorado Day, birds chirping (not many, but I did hear a few), blue sky, warm 70 degree weather, I even applied sunscreen to the children.


We started off the morning with our Saturday cleaning ritual. I love how the kids got so excited about the new toilet wand disposable brush I purchased at Costco, and then I told them they had to use it, they actually fought over who got to use it first! Then Rick put together the trampoline while I read a book and soaked in as much UV rays as possible ( yes I also applied sunscreen). Then off to Andrews first soccer game, they won 2-1!


On the ride home I bribed Rick into running with me, so we donned our athletic gear, Tyler and Madelynn rode their bikes and we were off. You know what kills me, Rick has a physical job, he plays basketball once or twice a week, he doesn't eat healthy unless I'm right there cooking it for him, or telling him what to order, but yet he just jogs right along as if he has been running every day for his whole life. I thought it would be a fun thing for us to do together, but never mind, I am a poor sport and don't want to be left in the dust of his long legs bouncing down the road. I will find someone else that will stay with me and actually look winded after a couple miles!


After that I jumped on the trampoline with whoever would let me on. Rick played catch with the boys and watched Andrew ride the mini motorcycle that our neighbor has. After dinner Rick headed off to "Fight Night" with some friends, and I put the kids to bed and watched a chick flick, "the Jane Austen Book Club" (cute movie to all the chicks out there).


So that was Saturday in a nutshell. Sunday came and so did the snow and wind, we are done with Church, Grandpa is coming over for dinner so we are waiting patiently for the BBQ ribs and sweet potatoes that are cooking. I hope you all have had a fabulous weekend as well.

It was a beautiful day! We enjoyed it too, riding our bikes and Cassidy in her little go cart being pulled around.

What a typical thing in Colorado 70's one day then 30's the next. I'm glad you guys had such a fun time and enjoyed the outdoors. I was hoping to see some of your tricks and flips on the trampoline. :)
