Family Memories

Yesterday after church we took the kids to a park over in WA. I know it's not the worthiest Sabbath day activity, but we needed some family time. The kids had a blast...the weather was 70 degree's. Chris made a homemade banana cream pie Sunday morning so we ate that while we were there. It was so nice to just relax and have fun together!!!!

The boys of course found this barrel there. If it's possibly dangerous, and out of the ordinary, my boys will gravitate to it...trust me.

Sorry I have to add my pics in separate posts...something screwy is going on with uploading more than one pic. I'll work on it.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Christian. He would seriously LIVE at the park if he could!

Halee will be 10 in 2 months. I can't believe how fast children grow up! Even though it's hard at times having 5 kids, I really feel like that in a blink of an eye they will be grown...and I seriously think I will look back and wish they were little again.

This is a depiction of what we like to do on Sunday afternoons if the weather is tolerable. We love to just hang out sitting in any random grassy area. (I know, we're weird.) It really is one of our favorite things to do though!

By the end of the 2 hours we spent at the park, this pic was at our breaking point....fun was over, it was time to head home! I love spending time with my family. I wish we could do this every single day.

So Sunny...

Today was such a great day! For the past few months I've been in kind of a rut, with very little incentive when it comes to spending quality time with the kids, but with the great weather I'm feeling very determined to be a great mommy and spend LOTS of time with them. Today I took them to story time. Afterward we went on a picnic at the park. When we got home around 12:30, Chris came home for lunch and we took the kids on a walk around our neighborhood. Here is Christian and Grace ready to roll. We were love, love, LOVIN' this wonderful sunshine. It's still pretty chilly, but oh well! It was great. I love my kids so much. They truly are the highlight of my world. I'm so blessed to have such a great husband to share these little people with. :)

On Saturday Chris stayed home with Grace while I took the 4 kids to see The SpiderWick Chronicles. I was a little worried that they might think it was too scary, but they LOVED it! There were definitely a few creepy parts, but surprisingly they were all just fine! No night mares later either! I also really enjoyed it. If you haven't gone to it, you should before it leaves theatres! ;)
