One of the things I love most about warmer weather is how we tend to slow down and enjoy all the little things that we ignore when it’s cold and we are in a hurry to get from here to there.<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4102\"<\/p>\n

Like many people I know, I struggle with maintaining a positive attitude when the cold weather sticks around for months on end.<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4117\"<\/p>\n

I am for sure a warm weather kind of girl. And when the weather finally does decide to stick around we spend our days in the slow lane.<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4125\"<\/p>\n

Outside, sun on our faces, dirt on our hands.<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4139\"<\/p>\n

Some of like to do yard work<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4140\"<\/p>\n

And some of us just like to play<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4151\"<\/p>\n

There is nothing better than an extra large stick according to Hud<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4159\"<\/p>\n

Who needs a mulching machine when you have a Golden Retriever<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4164\"\"Q14A4166\"<\/p>\n

I love this dog. He has been the best addition to our family<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4169\"<\/p>\n

The boys get mad when I call him my favorite son \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4173\"<\/p>\n

Blake made this speaker out of an old suitcase- it’s pretty cool and sounds awesome<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4143\"<\/p>\n

He is leaving to head to Michigan for the weekend with the lacrosse team.<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4253\"<\/p>\n

I will miss him.<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4190\"<\/p>\n

But a certain girly has a birthday in a few days and I need to plan.<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4205\"<\/p>\n

And Cole has got the crud and is home sick.<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4216\"<\/p>\n

Eva says this is circus training<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4233\"\"Q14A4238\"\"Q14A4247\"\"Q14A4249\"<\/p>\n

She looks like a bobble head here<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4256\"<\/p>\n

When Eva showed these worms to Austin he said “Eva you are such a boy.”<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4257\"<\/p>\n

The weather turned chilly again and we were back inside with a bunch of playdoh. Eva made a camp fire and roasted this “smore” until it was black. Then put fire coming out of it and gave it to Cole.<\/p>\n

\"Q14A4271\"<\/p>\n

It’s Friday and the sky is sunny- off to enjoy it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
